Forge House is a detached Grade II listed village house dating in part from the 18th century with later Victorian additions. It is set back from the road, behind mature hedging, with off road parking, an electric car charging point and private enclosed front and rear gardens. Historically, during the 18th century the property was originally the village forge and in latter years during the 20th century it became the village post office. Internally, it retains a wealth of charm and character with exposed timbers and beams, exposed quarry tiled flooring and period fireplaces to the sitting and family rooms, both having wood burning stoves. Ground floor accommodation comprises three reception rooms including a beamed sitting room with open stud walling through to the adjoining dining room and, within the Victorian part of the house, in what was formerly the post office, is now a lovely light and airy family room with good ceiling heights, picture rails, deep bay window to the front with window storage seat and wood burning stove. There is also a breakfast room which is open to the kitchen and a separate garden room with direct access to the terrace and rear garden. The kitchen has a range of cupboards complemented by composite work surfaces and appliances include a range cooker with electric oven and five ring gas hob and a freestanding fridge. There is a utility/boot area with space for white goods, a WC and outside access can be gained to a boiler room. Over the first floor are a total of three bedrooms, one with built in cupboards, a family bathroom, an en suite shower to the main bedroom and a separate WC. Stairs lead to the attic floor where there are two vaulted attic rooms. Forge House is approached via a drive, shared with three other properties. There are two parking spaces immediately to the left and a further space adjacent to the house and access to the single garage (currently used for storage purposes) with power and light connected and a connecting workshop/store room. In addition, there is also a useful hobbies room also with power and light connected. The gardens lie to the front and rear of the house, with lawned areas, planted with a variety of seasonal shrubs and hedging. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
