OLD FORGE COTTAGE is a charming detached Grade II Listed period home of individual style and character situated in this central location within what remains a highly regarded and much sought-after Essex village. The property has been subject to extension and alteration over the years and now provides nicely proportioned and versatile living accommodation.

The front door opens into an entrance hall where stairs rise to the first floor. There are two reception rooms within the original part of the property, with the sitting room featuring a fireplace with window to the front providing views towards the village green, whilst the dining room also features a fireplace and has windows to the front and side. The kitchen is nicely appointed with a range of storage cupboards complemented by blue sparkling worktops, space for Range cooker, integrated dishwasher and partially vaulted ceiling with Velux windows providing good amounts of natural light. A further window looks onto the garden and partly glazed door leads to outside. There is a ground floor shower room to one side which contains a 3-piece suite and separate utility room which provides further worktops and storage cupboards, appliance space, window to side and stable door to outside. From the kitchen, a wide opening leads to an impressive family/garden room with a vaulted ceiling and two Velux windows drawing in good amounts of natural light, with a further window and glazed double and bi-folding doors which look out to and open into the garden area.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to 3 good sized bedrooms and family bathroom which contains a 3-piece suite. The master bedroom is a particularly attractive room with dual aspect windows which provides most attractive views towards the village green.

OUTSIDE, the gardens are a lovely feature of the property, complementing the house perfectly and defined into two separate areas. The principal garden area measures approx. 107ft deep x 33ft wide, aid out to lawn, bordered by a mature hedgerow which gives good enclosure to the garden which also contains a wide variety of well established plants and shrubs. The secondary garden area is also very well enclosed creating an inner-courtyard style space with a paved patio, ideal for outside entertaining, areas of lawn and once again a variety of well established plants and shrubs. Furthermore, the property also has the benefit of a detached garage with workshop/storage room.
