Summary - THE FORGE, WINKLEIGH, MONKOKEHAMPTON EX19 8SE
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Renovated 2-bed bungalow with countryside views and single-level living.
Full renovation completed in 2021
Tucked in the peaceful village of Monkokehampton, The Old Forge is a recently refurbished two-bedroom detached bungalow combining character with contemporary comfort. Renovated in 2021, the single-level layout, modern kitchen/dining area and principal bedroom with en suite make it especially suitable for downsizers or anyone seeking accessible, low-stairs living in a rural setting.
The property sits back from the lane and opens onto an enclosed rear garden with a generous patio, pond and raised vegetable bed, all framed by uninterrupted countryside views. Underfloor heating has been installed throughout, providing a warm, efficient feel underfoot, while a separate living room and utility room add practical everyday space.
Buyers should note some material realities of rural, older properties: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, mobile signal and broadband speeds are limited (very slow broadband), and the timber-frame walls are understood to be without added insulation. The village is remote and local services are limited, although nearby villages and towns provide schools and amenities within reasonable distance.
Overall, The Old Forge offers a peaceful countryside lifestyle with modern comforts already in place, but expect typical maintenance and energy considerations associated with older rural dwellings. It will appeal to buyers prioritising single-level living, characterful finishes and strong outdoor space rather than urban connectivity or minimal running costs.
