Old Forstal Cottage
Old Forstal Cottage is a charming semi -detached Victorian house of brick construction with black weatherboarding under a tiled roof . The property was originally the old bakehouse and has been extended by the current owner who has enjoyed living here for some 40 years.
There is an entrance to the front which leads into the sitting room. This is a good size room with feature fireplace and wood burning stove. There are stairs to the first floor and open entrance into the kitchen/dining room. This has been well fitted with a special bespoke handmade kitchen with Rayburn oven, pantry cupboard and space for a dining table and chairs. Beyond here is the sun room extension with double doors that fold right back onto the garden patio, providing the perfect seating area to enjoy the fabulous countryside views. There is a good size storage cupboard and next to this a generous luxury bathroom with bath, w/c and sink unit. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom has a feature fireplace and the 2nd bedroom has fitted cupboards. There is also a good size cloakroom with w/c, bidet and sink unit. A shower could easily be installed if required. There are many views to enjoy from all the windows across the countryside and gardens.
Early viewing is highly recommended so not to miss out on this immaculate home.
The Gardens
The front of the property has gated access and off road parking for several cars. The garden lays mainly to the side of the property and has been well tended over the years to create a beautiful cottage garden with landscaped borders, lawned circular area, pathways, pergola with established vines, an array of colourful flowers, shrubs and trees and a clipped hedge giving complete privacy/seclusion. There is a relatively new patio area around the side and rear of the property and a generous outside store with power (previously the bread oven). The garden abuts farmland and enjoys some magnificent views.
Services
Mains water and electricity, oil fired central heating. Private drainage – septic tank.
