Charming period cottage, with delightful garden and the benefit of a detached annexe in the centre of a pretty village.
Forge Cottage sits in the very pretty village of Selborne, which has a pub, shop, church and primary school. The surrounding area has some of the most beautiful countryside including an area of the South Downs known as The Hangers.
Approached via a gravel driveway, the main house welcomes you with its enchanting garden pathway. This Grade II Listed cottage, accompanied by a detached annexe, showcases a delightful fusion of period features, including exposed beams, old latch doors, and a cozy fireplace with a wood burning stove in the sitting room. The accommodation has been carefully extended and includes a large triple aspect and vaulted family/breakfast room adjoining the kitchen. This a very light and contemporary space that perfectly complements the original cottage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets together with a gas range. An adjoining doorway provides access to the cellar. A beautiful double aspect sitting room to the front of the house has an inglenook fireplace with wood burner. In addition there is a dining room and cloakroom on this floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a large family bath/shower room.
The cottage stands within attractive landscaped grounds providing a beautiful setting with areas of lawn together with flower and shrub borders and several ideal outside seating areas. A private driveway provides ample parking and access to the detached annexe, detached former forge, and timber shed.
The property also has the considerable benefit of a detached annexe. This is a very flexible space that could be utilised for a number of different purposes and ideal for home working. There is a sitting room with a kitchenette to the ground floor together with a shower room and a first floor bedroom with a Juliet balcony.
Of note, the former forge is a fascinating building that now provides a potential artist's studio and/or very useful storage space.
This is a truly unique village home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
