Forge Cottage is a recently refurbished mid-17th-century country house that combines original oak beams and period character with a contemporary, high‑ceilinged farmhouse kitchen and modern services. Set in the heart of Waltham St Lawrence, the property sits behind new oak gates with generous gravel parking and a double garage, offering privacy in an affluent village setting less than 30 miles from central London.
The house is arranged over multiple floors with six bedrooms, three bathrooms and around 5,954 sq ft of versatile living space. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room and en‑suite; a separate wing already contains a bedroom, sitting room and shower room and could be made into a self‑contained annexe with independent access. Large bifold doors and a vaulted oak‑beamed kitchen create effortless indoor‑outdoor flow to the south‑westerly garden, terrace and small swimming pool with pool house.
This home suits families seeking village life close to strong primary and secondary schools, convenient rail links at Twyford, and nearby independent schools. Practical considerations include ongoing maintenance for a large private garden and the pool, and a relatively high council tax banding. The house is freehold and has low flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it comfortable for modern family life and remote working.
