House For Sale £950,000
The bones of the original Forge Cottage are just visible in the new and improved 21st century version.
Entry into the house is via a generous porch with travertine tiled floor and through into the central reception hall. The flooring continues in here and also into the kitchen. Ground floor rooms radiate from the hall with a snug sitting room with AGA log burner to the right, part of the original house, and the main reception room, the show-piece of the house, on the left. This double aspect room has windows to the front and bifold doors to the garden, to provide the link between house and garden. A second AGA log burner provides additional heat in the winter and engineered oak flooring gleams in the spring sunshine.
The kitchen/diner is L-Shaped and can be configured to suit. Currently the dining area is directly off the kitchen with a reclaimed church pew forming a large part of the seating area. The kitchen is fitted in a cottage style with sage painted units and solid timber worksurfaces. A central island is topped with satin black granite. There is a range cooker, integrated dishwasher and space for a large fridge-freezer. At the far end of the kitchen there is a complementary oak larder cupboard and French doors out to the garden. The utility room is at the far end with space and plumbing for the usual appliances, additional storage and a door out to the garden.
Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, two with refitted, ensuite facilities and a family bathroom with slipper bath. There is little to choose between the ensuite rooms, one has fitted wardrobes and a south-facing aspect and the other with a little more space. Perhaps a summer bedroom and a winter bedroom.
Outside, the rear gardens wrap around two sides of the house and are level and laid mainly to lawn with some mature shrubs and raised beds. An Indian sandstone patio links the kitchen and sitting room.
To the front there is gravelled parking for several vehicles and, to the side, a separate shared driveway that leads to a single garage, also accessed from the garden.
