Description
The Old Forge is an impressive period property situated on a spacious plot in the popular village of Stoodleigh. The house showcases many original features while, offering modern conveniences. Having changed hands only twice in the last century, it has been a wonderful home for generations.
A large dining hall greets you upon entering the building, featuring stone flag flooring, an inglenook fireplace, and a bread oven. A sitting room includes an open fireplace built-in cupboards on either side and French doors that open to the garden.
The open-plan kitchen and living room provide ample space for family gatherings and entertaining, with triple aspect windows and an inset wood burner in the living area. From here, two steps lead down to the family room, which has a triple aspect and French doors that open to the front of the property. At the rear of the building, there is a practical utility room and an additional larder and storage cupboard. Off the hall, you will also find a cloakroom and a separate shower room and WC.
As you ascend to the first floor, the property continues to impress with five generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. The spacious family bathroom, with a double vanity unit, bath and WC, serves the four further bedrooms. There is also a separate WC on this floor. A useful storage area can be accessed from the principal bedroom.
The charming two-storey barn gracing the southern edge of the property is a fantastic space full of potential. With its delightful cobbled flooring and stunning exposed timbers and stonework, it beautifully captures historical charm. Two sets of large double doors provide easy vehicle access and ample storage. Upstairs, you'll find a generous area perfect for storage and a workshop. There is also a wood shed adjacent to the driveway and barn.
At the rear of the property, a charming split-level garden is filled with mature plants and shrubs, providing year-round colour. A paved area leads to the first level, which features indigenous trees, herbaceous borders, vegetable beds, and a covered well. A few more steps lead to the upper tier, boasting a lawn and a seating area with lovely rural views.
In front, the gated driveway is bordered by mature plants and trees, featuring a cobbled and gravel parking area for several vehicles.
