The cottage offers three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, as well as a family bathroom. The handcrafted kitchen, designed with traditional cottage decor, features oak worktops and a carefully considered layout. Practical features such as a utility room, large pantry, and downstairs cloakroom further enhance the home’s appeal.
Outside, The Forge is complemented by a range of outbuildings. The detached double garage includes a studio or office space above, ideal for remote working or creative endeavours.
