Description
The Old Forge is an elegant, detached Georgian property believed to date back to 1789 with later additions. The property has been significantly improved by the current owners. The property presents an attractive red brick Georgian façade under a peg tile roof line. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to 3,090 sq ft.
The accommodation comprises a hall/dining room with coats cupboard. Drawing room with fireplace, with an attractive bay window overlooking the walled garden. From the drawing room access is given to the study/bedroom 4 with an adjoining en-suite shower room. The ground floor also comprises an inner hall leading to a wonderful kitchen with a range of handmade built-in units, French doors opening to a garden terrace. There is also a secondary kitchen and a utility room. From the main kitchen access is given to another WC, vaulted sitting room (former forge) with log burner, French doors to garden terrace. From the sitting room access is given to a snug (currently used as an artist’s studio) and storeroom.
From the drawing room a staircase leads up to the first floor where access is given to the principal bedroom with large dressing room, two further bedrooms, one shower room and one bathroom. There is a useful range of built-in cupboards. An internal inspection is recommended by the sole selling agent to appreciate the flexible accommodation on offer.
OUTSIDE
The Old Forge is approached over a sweeping gravelled driveway via a pair of remotely operated wrought iron gates. There is an ample parking area and access from here is given to the double cart lodge with adjoining machinery store (with electric roller shutter doors). On the left-hand side of the drive is a large lawned area with mature trees. The beautiful and peaceful main garden can be found at the rear of the property and contains several compartments of interest, including a range of mature herbaceous borders, trees and shrubs, roses and perennial planting. There is a large east facing terrace area immediately to the rear of the property. On the southern boundary is a fantastic walled garden with an array of climbing roses, hydrangeas and further planting. The rear garden has fantastic views over the undulating Suffolk countryside beyond. There is also a delightful custom-made garden room.
The land opposite The Old Forge is called “The Croft” and is owned by the “Groton Winthrop Mulberry Trust”. This provides open views to the front of the property.
