Forge Cottage is a character-filled detached village home offering flexible living and substantial outdoor space. The main cottage provides two/three bedrooms and period features including exposed beams, brick fireplaces and low ceilings that create a cosy, traditional feel. Adjoining the house is a single-storey one-bedroom annexe converted from outbuildings — ideal for guests, extended family or rental income.
Outside, the plot is unusually large for the village and includes front, side and rear gardens, a stone patio, an apple tree, extensive off-street parking and a triple garage with power and light. The property totals about 2,337 sq ft across main house, annexe and outbuildings, giving scope for a variety of layouts and uses (subject to any necessary consents).
There are practical drawbacks to note: the property was built before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation, double glazing dates from before 2002, and the current EPC is band E. Council Tax sits in band F and broadband speeds are slow — factors that will affect running costs and connectivity. The house is offered chain free and sold freehold, presenting a straightforward purchase for buyers willing to undertake updating and energy improvements.
