Forge Cottage, Holywell Village

Within the very heart of the beautiful Holywell Village, this unique and truly charming 1930's cottage is steeped in local history and has been loved by the current family for many years. Offering a fabulous lifestyle for many families or individuals alike, the wonderful space, versatility and potential for extension or business opportunity is fabulous, (subject to consents). Holywell Village has tremendous community spirit, gorgeous walks in the Dene, local schools, shops, eateries, bars and transport. It is also a short drive from Whitley Bay, Seaton Delaval and Seaton Sluice, where you can enjoy the beach and coastline or vibrant centre of Whitley Bay. This gorgeous, detached family home flows beautifully, with natural light, space and room for many family gatherings or quiet, cosy, evenings if you prefer. The Freehold title is sold with the adjoining Bates Cottage, which offers vacant possession, after benefiting the owners for many years with a commercial return. Subject to planning, it would be possible to incorporate Bates Cottage as part of the main house, increasing the space substantially, if required. The entrance to Forge Cottage is stunning ,with the vestibule and hallway oozing character and original features. The hall leads the way to multiple reception rooms, the first being a delightful, front facing, formal dining room with feature bay window and original storage, this opens into a lovely sitting room, with a gorgeous feature fireplace and cast iron fire with tiled inset. Moving through to the fabulous garden room you will adore the light and space that this magnificent room offers. Enjoy views of the garden, or on a warm summer evening you can leave the door open, enjoying the favourable Southerly aspect. An additional and separate sitting room with stunning multi-fuel stove fire offers privacy and more ground floor space, with access to a generous utility area and downstairs cloaks/w.c. The family dining kitchen to the front is rustic and spacious, with integrated appliances and access out to the side garden area. We just love the charming landing area with dormer window, enjoying views around the village, providing ample storage space and potential for a perfect study/office area. There are three bedrooms to the first floor, two large doubles, both overlooking the garden, the third with charming Velux, the family bathroom offers a four piece suite, with separate shower cubicle. The garden, in my opinion, is the real icing on the cake! With a Southerly aspect, the garden is mature and lovingly thought out, with patios, lawn, summerhouse, greenhouse and wonderful shrubs, hedging and opportunity to enjoy the local wildlife that visits! There is a driveway to the front with parking for two cars and a walled, stone garden area. Bates Cottage offers a spacious front room with fireplace, kitchen area and w.c./plumbing. A fantastic opportunity not to be missed! Freehold: EPC; D, council Tax Band: E. Gas, Electric, Water, Heating, Drainage: Mains Connected. Broadband: Fibre Mobile Phone Blackspot: No

The North East region is famous for its rich mining heritage and therefore it will be beneficial to conduct a mining search. Confirmation should be sought from a conveyancer as to its effect on the property, if any.
