Summary - THE OLD FORGE HORN LANE EVENLODE MORETON-IN-MARSH GL56 0NT
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Period stone house with south garden, countryside views and scope to extend.
Circa 1,865 sq ft of flexible, character-filled accommodation
Set in the idyllic Cotswold village of Evenlode, The Old Forge is a highly flexible, three-bedroom detached period house with generous living space (circa 1,865 sq ft) and classic stone character. The house retains striking original features — oak beams, stone mullion windows, a stone inglenook fireplace and original window seats — and benefits from a sunny south-facing garden and long-range countryside views from the first floor.
The layout suits family living: a large principal bedroom with triple aspect, two further double bedrooms, a substantial sitting room, dual-aspect dining room, contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, garden room and useful utility/boiler room. Outside there is a large detached double garage, gravelled off-street parking and well-screened landscaped gardens on a generous plot. The setting on a quiet no-through lane delivers privacy and easy access to Moreton-in-Marsh (train to London) and local schools and amenities.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Heating is supplied by an oil-fired boiler; glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing; the stone walls are likely uninsulated which may affect running costs and comfort. There is one family bathroom only. Council Tax is currently band G, so ongoing costs are higher than average. EPC band E and broadband speeds are modest (up to c.25.6 Mbps).
These features create clear opportunities: sympathetic modernisation, improved thermal performance (insulation, glazing, heating) and potential extension or conversion of the large garage (subject to consents) would significantly increase comfort and value. For buyers seeking a traditional Cotswold cottage with space, character and scope to tailor to modern family life, this property offers a rare combination of charm and potential in a sought-after rural location.
