Description: The Forge is a much improved and well-presented terraced house forming one of seven properties converted about 25 years ago. The house presents external elevations of brick beneath a tiled roof, recently replaced double-glazed windows and doors throughout, and offers spacious and flexible accommodation of approximately 2,012sqft/187sq.m with scope to update the kitchen and remodel the upstairs layout, if required.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes on the ground floor: a spacious entrance hall with oak flooring, a good-sized dining room with oak flooring, French doors leading out to the front and opening into the kitchen/breakfast room, which has an extensive range of wall and base units with island/breakfast bar and a door leading to a utility room.

Outside, the property is approached over a long driveway through the attractive grounds and enjoys lovely views over surrounding countryside and sweeps down to a large parking area for visitors and beyond to the property's own parking. There is an area of front garden with vegetable beds and storage sheds, and the south rear courtyard garden is block paved and has an excellent outside office. The communal gardens and grounds are a real feature of the property with areas of meadow, three fields and woodland. There is access to a public footpath that leads to Bewl Water Reservoir.
