Description
Situation
The Forge is situated in the village of Cheriton Bishop, one of Mid Devon's picturesque villages, surrounded by open countryside yet remarkably conveniently located for ease of access to most of the county and other parts of the country. It is situated just off the A30 trunk road giving fast dual carriageway access to Exeter (10 miles), the M5 motorway and Exeter airport to the east, and Dartmoor, Okehampton and Cornwall to the west. There is a thriving village community and an historic parish church. There is an inn, a well thought of primary school, doctor's surgery, village hall and a comprehensively stocked post office/stores. The village is not large and so a walk north or south along lanes brings you to footpaths and bridleways in the open countryside. A little further afield there is the attractive area around Fingle Bridge and the Teign Gorge with the open country of high Dartmoor just a short drive to the west.
Description
The property has been much improved by the current owners, including both modern extensions and the retention of many of the character features that you would expect in a property of this age. There are a wealth of exposed ceiling timbers, a large historic fireplace with wood burner, oil fired Aga and other character features whilst being double glazed throughout and benefiting from PV solar panels.
Internally it can either be used a single five bedroom dwelling with useful additional kitchen or alternatively works just as well as a three bedroom main cottage with a two bedroom annexe that can be closed off and which has its own rear entrance.
Accommodation
The main cottage is accessed via the Kitchen/Diner offering a bright room with vaulted ceiling and timbers, exposed brickwork and wood floors all overlooking the attractive garden. The kitchen area offers an oil fired Aga, large butlers sink, and space for appliances and leads through to the Dining Room/Hall which also overlooks the garden and provides access to the Annexe, Utility Room, the comfortable Sitting Room with its large fireplace and wood burner, Bedroom Three (which has previously been used an office/study) and the stairs up to the first floor where the characterful main bedroom offers vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers at every turn. The bathroom is quirky with a roll top bath with clawed feet, further beams, shower, sink and WC and provides access to Bedroom Two.
The Annexe has a connecting door into the main cottage but can be accessed through its own external door from the garden and offers a warm and comfortable Sitting Room with wood burner, a ground floor ...
Outside
The rear garden is delightfully private and level with a good lawned area and a patio adjacent to the house with a number of attractive shrubs and flower beds. There is also a generous gravelled parking area which could fit 3-4 vehicles with a timber store (3m x 2m) and a timber Garage/Workshop with double doors to either end (4.98m x 3.18m).
