About this property

A high quality period Country House with swimming pool and tennis court set in approximately 4.25 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds.

The Old Forge Farm is a charming period country house of predominantly stone elevations relieved by diamond style leaded light windows. The property has been sympathetically renovated and extended by the current owners with mellow oak beams throughout and finished to a high standard. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a welcoming reception hall leading to the generous drawing room having an inglenook fireplace with log burner and twin doors that access the sitting room. Access to the kitchen is also from the hall through the charming snug area with a gas, log effect fire and a step down into the well-appointed fitted kitchen with a large central island and Aga, and dining area having a lovely aspect over the rear garden towards the paddocks beyond. Stairs to the first floor landing give access to the substantial principle bedroom which benefits from a range of bespoke wardrobe and cupboard units, en-suite bathroom and a balcony overlooking the gardens. There are three further guest bedrooms, 2 with en-suite facilities and a family shower room.
