House For Sale £800,000
An attractive period property with an adaptable range of outbuildings and annex together with large gardens. In a highly desirable village at the foot of the Quantock Hills.
The Forge was formally owned by the Crown Estate and the current owners have undergone a schedule of remodelling and modernisation to create a fabulous four bedroom family home. The property is believed to date back to the Victorian era and is of local stone elevations under a pitch tiled roof. The accommodation at present provides a fabulous dual aspect living room, a separate sitting room with open fire place, kitchen with separate utility and WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom which has been recently modernised and redecorated. The property benefits from an adjoining outbuilding which used to house an old forge and is currently being used as a workshop but has the potential to create a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living room with vaulted ceilings and doors out to the rear gardens (Subject to the necessary consents). Alternatively the space could be used as an office, workshop or granny annexe depending on peoples individual requirements. The property enjoys ample off street parking and large private gardens with a one bedroom guest bedroom with ensuite nestling in the top corner.
