Week Lane, Bridgetown

Forge Cottage is a charming four-bedroom detached home in a tranquill setting, within a generous plot. The property backs onto a stream and pretty gardens, while inside it combines comfortable, flexible accommodation that retains much of its original character, such as exposed timber beams, an original fireplace and thick plastered walls.

The ground floor offers versatile living accommodation with up to four reception rooms, including a snug that could serve as a fourth bedroom - ideal for multi-generational living. The cosy sitting room has a corner gas-fired LPG stove and heavy timber beams overhead, while providing access via stairs to the principle bedroom. There is a study and a formal dining room adjoining the large kitchen, which is traditional farmhouse style. The kitchen features painted wooden cabinets, a butler sink, a stainless steel range cooker with an extractor hood and a striking fireplace with woodburning stove. There is also plenty of space for a dining table. Additional ground floor features include a larder, utility room, laundry room and a shower room.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an adjoining dressing room and built-in storage. The well-appointed family bathroom includes a roll-top bathtub with shower attachment and a separate shower enclosure.

This property has 1.1 acres of land.
