Grade II listed cottage with substantial outbuildings including an old Victorian school house and former village forge.

Description

Forge Cottage is a superb opportunity to acquire and renovate a Grade II listed thatched cottage with substantial outbuildings offering incredible potential. Sitting on a generous plot of about 0.4 acres (STMS) and comprising of a main house, old village forge and a former school house there is potential, subject to the necessary permissions to convert these into either separate dwellings or ancillary accommodation.

One of only two thatched properties in the village, the property has been in the same ownership for over 40 years and now comes to the market requiring modernisation and renovation.

The main house is a three/four bedroom property complete with wonderful character features such as fireplaces, beams and latch doors. With three reception rooms there is ample living space and one of the bedrooms is to the ground floor to provide a flexible arrangement. With feature fireplaces and beams throughout there is the expected character and no doubt through a process of renovation this will only be further enhanced and brought out of the house.
