Forge Cottage is a rare 16th-century detached home, once the village forge, set on a large, beautifully landscaped plot. Original features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and characterful walls are complemented by a sympathetic two-storey extension added in 2008, creating comfortable, flexible living across two reception rooms and a farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, all overlooking the mature gardens and surrounding countryside. The plot includes winding paths, colourful borders and secluded seating spots — ideal for gardeners and anyone who values privacy. Off-street parking is generous for the setting.
There is an outhouse with conversion potential subject to planning permission (STPP), offering scope to add value or create ancillary accommodation. Practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may matter for remote working. As an older cottage with historic fabric, maintenance and sympathetic repair should be expected.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and outdoor space in a peaceful hamlet, with easy road access to Dover, Deal and Sandwich. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the blend of period charm and modern extension space and to assess renovation potential firsthand.
