A delightful Grade II listed five bedroom cottage in a sought after village Situated on a no-through road within the Conservation Area in the much sought after village of Naunton, The Old Forge is full of character with a wealth of features such as handsome fireplaces, window seats and exposed timbers. Formerly a cottage and forge, The Old Forge is Grade II listed and dates back to the 17th century with later alterations. The property provides charming accommodation over three floors and enjoys a magical terraced garden. The current owners carried out a programme of improvement in 2017 including the reconfiguration of the ground floor, installation of a new utility room, heating system, re-wiring and re-plumbing. The Old Forge is approached through a wrought-iron gate with a gravelled drive. Steps lead down to the pretty cobbled terrace. The sitting room has an impressive limestone fireplace modelled on a 17th century fireplace with a woodburning stove. There is a limestone floor with under-floor heating, window seat, exposed beams and an oak staircase rising to the first floor. Steps lead up to a well-proportioned dining room with doors opening to the terrace. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and an island unit providing extra space for storage and food preparation. Double doors open to the terrace. Completing the ground floor is a study, a snug and a WC. The principal bedroom has a range of fitted cupboards and access to a generous en suite shower room. On the first floor there is also a family bathroom and double bedroom with original stone fireplace. Two further bedrooms and a family shower room are accessed from a staircase rising from the snug. On the second floor is bedroom three with superb exposed beams. The gardens at the Old Forge are a delight; wending their way up through various “rooms” to the kitchen garden at the top and a lovely view over the village. Adjacent to the property are dining terraces. Steps rise to the main garden where mature lawns are flanked by established beds. A path leads up to the parterre with wisteria and roseclad pergola over and continues up to the top of the garden where the fine view can be fully appreciated.
