Description
Nestled within the idyllic village of Ockley, 2 Forge Cottages stands as a captivating representation of historical significance and architectural elegance. This substantial Grade II listed property, originally a fusion of three cottages beautifully converted into a single dwelling in the 1980s, seamlessly marries period charm with modern design. Upon entering, you are greeted with the generously sized reception hall, setting the tone for the entire home.
The interiors boast a wealth of fine period features, including exposed oak timbers and two wood-burning stoves nestled within inviting fireplaces. The ground floor reveals an extended family room, thoughtfully designed in a contemporary style to maximise natural light. Bi-folding doors connect the interior to an inviting terrace and expansive gardens, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Two additional reception rooms, bathed in delightful light, and a modern kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances complete the ground floor, offering both functionality and style.
Ascend to the first and second floors, and you'll discover six double bedrooms, each providing charming views across the front village green. Two well-appointed bathrooms add a touch of luxury to the upper levels.
The meticulously maintained grounds, about 0.62 acres, offer a haven of tranquillity and seclusion. A south easterly facing rear terrace becomes an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and leads to an expanse of lawn area with numerous specimen trees and shrubs. Charming period outbuildings, including an external laundry room, storage facilities, a WC, and a delightful art studio, enhance the property's character.
A course shingle driveway welcomes you with generous parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a single garage. The front garden is adorned with mature hedging, creating a private sanctuary. An immaculate lawn area, enclosed by attractive estate fencing, further contributes to the property's visual appeal. Additionally, a right-of-way driveway grants access to a double detached garage at the rear of the garden.
