A first class family house in a popular village set within enchanting Cotswold countryside
Forge House is found on the edge of the village, adjacent to farmland and set in an easily managed garden which is mainly walled. The house, which is understood to have been built in the mid 1980's is of natural stone construction and has accommodation arranged over three floors. Indeed the accommodation is particularly spacious and is ideal for family occupation. The house is also very light in that many of the rooms are dual aspect. It is also presented in good order, the present owners having made many improvements, both inside and out.
An oak front door leads into the entrance hall with flagstone floor and built-in coats cupboard. To one side is the drawing room with a bespoke fitted dresser having glass fronted shelving, cupboards and wine racking. Glazed double doors lead into the conservatory with doors to the outside. The kitchen is also off the hall and has a flagstone floor. A serving hatch connects to a dining area which forms part of a much larger room. Indeed it is very much a multi-purpose room which features a wide inglenook fireplace fitted with woodburning stove. Glazed doors lead through to the useful playroom which could also be used as a study. A cloakroom and utility room complete the downstairs accommodation.
A carved oak staircase leads up to the first floor where there are five principal bedrooms and two bathrooms, one being en suite. Off the landing is the airing cupboard and there is also access to the large roof space via a pull down, folding ladder. On the second floor there is a sixth bedroom which is vaulted, panelled and dual aspect. It also has the benefit of having its own shower room.
Outside there is an attractive terraced garden with flower beds but mainly lawned. A delightful terrace sits above the double garage (7.35m x 5.99m with workshop) and is a perfect place to enjoy summer entertaining. There is a further area of garden to the side of the house and plenty of parking space on the gravelled driveway. Tucked away to the rear of the house is a gravelled play area.
In summary Forge House is an excellent family home, situated in a prime Cotswold village which is particularly convenient for Cirencester and Cheltenham.
