Summary - FORGE COTTAGE, 11, BLACKSMITH CLOSE KT21 2BD
3 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Quintessential village cottage with large character living space and private garden.
- Grade II listed cottage, believed built circa 1580
Forge Cottage is a rare, character-rich Grade II listed home said to date from around 1580, set at the end of a small cul-de-sac in the village heart of Ashtead. The house offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across generous, characterful accommodation, anchored by a large triple-aspect living space with exposed beams and high ceilings that will appeal to buyers seeking historic charm with practical family proportions.
The property sits behind a walled, landscaped garden and benefits from a detached single garage plus private parking. Practical updates include double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas-fired central heating via a boiler and radiators. Local amenities, good primary schools and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience in this very affluent area.
Important practical points are straightforward: the Grade II listing means any alterations will be controlled and may limit modernisation; the property has been in long family ownership and was last sold over 30 years ago, so ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs should be expected. Walls are recorded as cavity as built with no insulation assumed, and council tax is described as expensive. Broadband speeds are average — adequate for most households but not high-speed specialist requirements.
For a family or buyer seeking a historically significant home in Ashtead, Forge Cottage offers an evocative blend of period character and comfortable living spaces. Buyers should factor in listed-building restrictions and the likely need for sensitive maintenance or selective upgrading when considering this special property.
