A handsome period property set in a peaceful village setting, The Forge combines a substantial four-bedroom main house with a first-floor studio/office and a separate four-bedroom cottage (The Old Forge). The main house retains Georgian character — sash windows, exposed brick, oak floors and open fires — while the cottage has been sensitively renovated and has underfloor heating and thermostatic controls.
The layout suits multi-generational living or a combined home-and-income model: principal house, self-contained cottage used recently as a holiday let, and a bright studio ideal for a home office, gym or rental. Outside there is a generous garden, limestone patio, greenhouse, summer house, shed, driveway and an electric garage, all set beside open fields and the village church for a tranquil feel.
Practical points to know: heating to the main house is oil-fired with boiler and radiators; the cottage benefits from underfloor heating. The property’s EPC is E. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is described as expensive. These factors should be weighed alongside the considerable size and flexible accommodation when considering running costs and insurance.
Overall, this is a rare, large village property offering flexible living arrangements, strong holiday-let potential and classic period charm. It will particularly suit families wanting separate living wings, buyers seeking dual income options, or those wanting a spacious rural retreat.
