Summary - THE OLD FORGE HOUSE CHITTLEHAMPTON UMBERLEIGH EX37 9RG
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Grand four/five bedroom period home with annex potential and garden.
Detached period house with strong character and inglenook fireplaces
The Old Forge is a grand, detached period house on the edge of Chittlehampton, set within a decent walled garden and countryside surroundings. Spacious rooms and period features — inglenook fireplaces, sash windows and deep sills — give the home warmth and character while contemporary touches in the large kitchen/breakfast room support modern family life.
Accommodation is flexible: a converted former forge provides a vaulted, dual-aspect reception room with a wood-burning stove and its own bedroom and ensuite above, creating realistic annex potential (subject to planning). The main house offers four further bedrooms, a large master with ensuite, three reception rooms and a 28ft kitchen/breakfast fitted with integrated appliances and a utility.
Practical benefits include an integral garage with electric roller door, attached stone barn accessible from garden and road, mains gas central heating and enclosed stone-walled garden. The property is presented in excellent decorative order and sits in a very low-crime, rural hamlet with well-regarded local schools and village amenities close by.
Notable constraints are factual: the house is a pre-1900 granite build and external walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), double-glazing install date is unknown, and broadband speeds are slow — important if you regularly work from home. Any annex or change-of-use for the barn will require planning consent. These points are practical rather than cosmetic and should be considered alongside the home’s strong character and space.
