Forge Cottage is a pretty Grade II Listed detached cottage, found in the heart of the peaceful village of Sampford Courtenay, just a short walk from St Andrew Church and The New Inn (thatched pub and restaurant). It will appeal to a range of buyers having been both a main residence and a successful holiday home for many years.
The accommodation offers plenty of character features dating right back to the 1650’s with exposed beams, floorboards and a particularly rare window seat! The spacious living area has a recently installed electric coal-effect heater, but the owner has lined the chimney (now extended to the 1.8m required) if a wood-burning stove was desired again in the future. There is an opening through to a sizeable dining area and a door through to the kitchen with befitting wooden units and tops, a Belfast sink and an integrated oven and hob. The fourth bedroom is found on the ground floor and has an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs we have three bedrooms, served by a shower room. There is oil-fired central heating throughout provided by an outside combi-boiler.
To the side is an attached store with front and rear access to provide an additional route to the garden, and this forms part of a single storey extension and so could offer potential to extend the living accommodation if required (subject to permissions). To the front is off road parking for two vehicles, with other unallocated parking available nearby. The rear garden is private and split into zones with a total length of approx 30m and a width of approx 10m on two levels. The main level area to the top offering a pleasant outlook, a level lawn, workshop shed and a summer house. Steps down lead to a further lawned garden area with mature hedging. The garden can be accessed from the rear porch, or via the pedestrian gate at the bottom.
