The Old Forge, Wigborough

Approach

Set on a quiet road in an exclusive setting of detached hamstone homes, this fine residence offers kerb appeal and practicality with gated access to the right as well as vehicle access over the driveway through large double gated to the garden.

Ground Floor

The main used entrance is the front garden room with inner door welcoming you to the entrance dining hall. This has rear and front aspect windows (as well as a nice high feature window) and distributes with stairs to the first floor with storage under and doors to:
Sitting Room: Ideal as a snug with open fireplace and front aspect window.
Reception Room: This room was converted to a downstairs space which is very flexible and offers great space. Currently configured as a guest room with Day bed and private entrance if so desired.
Kitchen: This has been modernised and offers light, practical storage space and work surfaces with a rear aspect stone mullioned window and a glorious outlook into the garden from the front aspect window.
Access Porch: Providing a link from the kitchen to the side access and on to the Laundry Room and garden.
WC: This doubles as a large storage space with rear aspect window and WC.

First Floor

Stairs to the landing with natural light provided by a rear aspect low level window and distributing to:
Principal Bedroom: A generous room in terms of dimension and light with a small side aspect high window and 2 front aspect windows offering unspoilt countryside views with the Blackdown Hills in the distance. This room also has a walk in wardrobe.
Elevated Outlook Room: This is a marvel in that the room has been designed to make the most of the elevation and views. A full set of front facing windows give a view to the garden, the livestock fields to the rear and off to the distance the backdrop of the South Somerset Hills all in a Southerly aspect making this more like a glorified garden room.
Bedroom Two: Yet another spacious room, making the most of the natural light with two front aspect windows.
Office: A 3rd bedroom or as the current owners prefer, a lovely corner space for a home office with side and rear aspect views, ensuring you have something to catch your eye...

Garden

The rear garden is set out in several areas of use and provides a secure and private walled space which doesn't require a lot of work to maintain whilst offering the benefit of being able to enjoy year round.
There is pedestrian and vehicle access to the garden area and a range of stone built and timber built sheds as well as raised beds, ideal for those seeking to grow some home produce.
The stone sheds offer a garden room and an outdoor exterior laundry room.
A summer house is also set to one side.
The garden is slightly raised from the house itself up approx 3 steps and as such the elevation adds to the wonderful outlook from all the rear windows of the house where you can watch many varieties of wildlife as they fly, flutter and busily buzz by.
