DESCRIPTION
Dating back to the mid C19th, The Old Forge is a grade 2 listed, stone property overlooking the village green. Contemporary, light, bright and spacious, the property was converted into its current form in the late C20th, winning regional and national architectural awards. The property, which has been recently refurbished, enjoys solid oak flooring and period elements throughout. Balancing open plan living with practicality the property also possesses generous storage.
The spacious, open plan kitchen/living room is flooded with natural light from large south facing windows providing unrivalled views over the village green. The living space also enjoys a galleried ceiling reaching to the cupola and roofline above. The ceilings are beautifully ornamented with exposed vaulted beams and elevated mezzanines, adding to the charm and character of the property.
The kitchen features modern cabinetry with ample storage, high-quality built-in appliances and provides space for a dining table, creating the perfect setting for entertaining. A separate snug/office provides the ideal place to relax, study or work from home (with high-speed fibre Wi-Fi). Completing the stylish ground floor is a downstairs WC, a well-appointed walk-in utility/pantry with plumbing for washing machine and further under stair storage.
Each mezzanine is accessed by a separate staircase. The first is a striking industrial spiral staircase which rises to a first-floor gallery landing, off which is the principal bedroom. The light and bright principal bedroom features exposed beams, galleried ceilings and views over the pretty village of Market Overton. It also has a generous and well-appointed ensuite with roll top bath.
The second staircase, located off the open plan living space, rises to a separate double bedroom overlooking the stylish ground floor through beautiful glass atrium windows.
