A distinguished former Forge, offering beautifully balanced accommodation, established south-facing gardens and exceptional charm
Occupying a prominent position at the junction of Low Street and High Street, The Forge is an attractive and beautifully presented village house situated in the highly regarded and sought-after village of Thornton-le-Clay.
Constructed of traditional brick and stone beneath a pantile roof, this charming period home offers spacious and versatile accommodation extending to five bedrooms. The property has been sympathetically renovated and enhanced to create a wonderful blend of character and contemporary comfort, retaining many original features including exposed beams, Yorkshire sliding sash windows, flagstone floors and wood-burning stoves in both the drawing room and sitting room.
The welcoming reception hall, with guest cloakroom, leads to two elegant reception rooms, a study and a superb country kitchen by Hovingham Interiors centred around a traditional Aga, creating an ideal space for both family life and entertaining. A particularly appealing feature is the guest bedroom suite, accessed from the light-filled dining room via its own private staircase and benefitting from an en suite bath and shower room, providing excellent accommodation for guests or multi-generational living.
The principal bedroom accommodation is complemented by stylish modern shower room, thoughtfully designed to suit contemporary lifestyles whilst respecting the character of the house.
Outside, The Forge enjoys delightful private gardens. The principal south-facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is beautifully framed by mature trees, shrubs, hedging and well-stocked borders. To the east, a charming courtyard garden provides a sheltered and intimate outdoor seating area. Double gates open into the main garden, Offering vehicle access with parking for two cars and a newly constructed timber fronted garage with an electric roller door.
A productive kitchen garden lies to the side of the property, featuring vegetable beds and fruit trees, and is currently rented from the Parish Council.
The property also benefits from superfast broadband.

I think The Forge captures everything that people look for in a village home: character, generous living space and beautiful gardens. The mature south-facing garden is a particular favourite of mine, offering a peaceful setting to enjoy throughout the seasons, while the house itself feels both welcoming and effortlessly functional.
