This is a gorgeous, individual, and extended former village forge, with an abundance of charm and character features. The property provides extensive and spacious accommodation, all finished to an exceptionally high standard, whilst combining a fusion of modern day living requirements. As well as the sympathetic refurbishment, the current vendors have extended the property on the ground floor, with the living areas now being particularly generous. This includes a sitting room with wood burner, separate dinning room space, triple aspect day lounge with patio doors to the terrace and garden, along with an 'orangery' with glass lantern roof an separate access to the sun terrace. Another fantastic feature to the property is its superb bespoke kitchen/dining room with range, and which was previously a barn. Leading off the kitchen is a well equipped utility room with cloakroom and also serves as a very welcoming entrance hall. The second extension of the property, has created an ideal study/office, but could easily serve as another bedroom if required. The first floor offers a very spacious shower room and three good sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom benefitting from an ensuite bathroom. The property is approached via remote controlled entrance gates, which lead to a driveway providing parking for 3/4 cars and a car covered car port. At the end of the drive is a detached studio, offering a variety of uses. There are beautiful landscaped gardens, along with various seating areas, storage sheds, summer house, vegetable plots, fruit tree cages and even a secluded garden area with terrace, that borders a small stream. It really is a wonderful and unique property, that must be viewed internally to fully appreciate all it offers.
