Description

Nestled at the foot of the South Downs, The Old Forge is a picturesque, attached Grade II listed house which dates from the 16th century. Externally, the cottage presents attractive mellow red brick and grey headers under a pitched clay tile roof.

Internally, this much-loved cottage has a beautiful, homely feel with a wealth of period features including an inglenook fireplace in the well-proportioned sitting room, exposed timbers and beautiful casement windows. There is a charming dining room and a well-appointed kitchen with extensive storage and a larder cupboard, a cloakroom and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom, family bathroom and two further double bedrooms. From many of the rooms there is a lovely outlook over the surrounding countryside with the South Downs beyond.

The Old Forge is approached from the no-through village road via a gravel drive which provides ample off-road parking. The generous cottage garden at The Old Forge is a particular feature of the property and has been attractively planted over the years with various shrubs and well stocked beds together with mature apple and quince trees. To one side of the property is a timber garden store and shed.

The historic church of Berwick with its famous Bloomsbury paintings is at the end of the lane. For those needing access to London, Berwick Station is only a short walk along the new cycle path and offers regular services to Victoria, Brighton and Eastbourne. The historic county town of Lewes is about 8 miles away and provides an extensive range of restaurants, shops and recreational facilities together with popular primary and secondary schools. The surrounding countryside provides delightful scenic walks on the South Downs Way and numerous bridle paths. The cottage enjoys easy access to the new A27 cycle path which links Berwick with Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne and Heathfield.

There is an excellent selection of preparatory and public schools, including Bedes Senior only ten minutes away by road. Eastbourne College and Brighton College are also within easy reach, with buses serving all three schools.
