Nestled in a serene setting, The Old Forge is a captivating 17th-century cottage that has been beautifully maintained and is bursting with character. Over the last six years, the current owners have lovingly transformed this charming home, enhancing its appeal while preserving its historic essence.
The gardens are nothing short of enchanting, boasting terraced seating areas, vibrant shrubbery borders, and meandering pathways that lead to adjacent Forestry Commission land. This peaceful backdrop not only offers a picturesque escape but also provides an ideal vantage point for spotting local wildlife, including owls and buzzards.
Adding to the property’s allure is the superb self-contained annexe in the rear garden, affectionately named Wisteria Lodge. This versatile space is perfect for blended families, a home office, or even as a source of additional income.
With the convenience of off-road parking and a detached garage, The Old Forge truly offers an exceptional lifestyle in a charming setting. This is more than just a home; it’s a unique retreat that combines history, nature, and modern living.
