The Old Forge is a distinctive Grade II listed country home set on very large, mature gardens in Carlton-on-Trent. The main house keeps much original character — exposed beams, an oak staircase, inglenook fireplace and bespoke bay seating — while offering flexible family living across generous reception rooms and five bedrooms. A detached one-bedroom annex with vaulted ceiling provides self-contained accommodation for guests, home-working or rental income potential.
Practical benefits include a sweeping double-access gravel drive, a double garage with power and lighting, oil-fired central heating and plentiful storage including a pantry and built-in wardrobes. The property’s layout suits family life, entertaining and multi-generational use with reception rooms that open to garden-facing decking.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed, so repairs, alterations and some modernisation will be restricted and likely require specialist contractors and consent. The annex has an EPC rating of E. Heating is oil-fired and there is an old coal-house boiler location; slower broadband and a medium flood risk in the area may affect some buyers’ plans. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the setting and scope.
This is a rural, character-led home for buyers who value historic detail, generous outdoor space and versatile accommodation. It particularly suits families needing separate annexe space or purchasers seeking a period property with scope for careful sympathetic updating.
