Wigborough, South Petherton, TA13

We are delighted to offer this utterly gorgeous four bedroom detached home with south-facing garden, superb views, parking, versatile accommodation and occupying one of the most exclusive, semi-rural locations in South Somerset. Offered with no onward chain.


An attractive, versatile and beautifully positioned three/four bedroom Grade II Listed home with south-facing garden, parking and occupying a picturesque spot in the highly desirable hamlet of Wigborough. In brief the property comprises an entrance porch, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, WC and family room to the ground floor with four bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. The Old Forge has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated by its current owners to provide welcoming, modern accommodation, whilst still retaining a real sense of charm and character. The current dining room is very much the heart of the home and is a wonderful space for entertaining and hosting family and friends. It links directly into the kitchen which is fitted with all mod cons and takes in views over the south facing garden and fields beyond. The sitting room is an intimate setting to enjoy through the seasons – particularly through the colder months thanks to an open fire offering practical warmth and an attractive focal point. The expansive family room/lounge could serve a number of other uses including a play room, gym, or studio. It should be noted that there is the very real possibility of creating a self-contained annexe by incorporating the fourth bedroom with the lounge, subject to any necessary consents. Such is the flexibility of this property, all the reception rooms are interchangeable depending on one’s needs. There are four generously proportioned bedrooms to the first floor which are all serviced by the family bathroom. Please be aware that bedroom four is currently only accessible through bedroom one. However, with its full width windows giving a magnificent vista over the gardens and farmland beyond it would make an excellent art room/studio. The Old Forge really is a rare and exciting opportunity for those looking at semi-rural, private and idyllic living and we would strongly encourage viewings to appreciate all it has to offer.
