Forest House is a charming Grade II listed village house dating from the mid-18th century, offering well-proportioned accommodation over two floors. This characterful property, which has been cherished by its current owners for nearly half a century, features sash windows, original fireplaces, and elegant period details including ornate ceiling roses and cornicing. The house is set within attractive gardens to the front and rear, with a spacious sitting room that includes an exposed brick fireplace and dual aspect with French doors opening onto a walled patio with a covered well. The dining room offers views of the front garden and retains an original fireplace, ornate ceiling rose, and recessed shelving. An extension added in 1978 provides a modern kitchen, a breakfast area, and additional bedroom and bathroom space on the first floor. The kitchen leads to a utility room, a large workshop, store, and a garden room with French doors to a decked area. Completing the ground floor is a WC. Upstairs, the principal bedroom features a built-in cupboard, while there are three further bedrooms, a shower room, and a contemporary bathroom. The house is approached via a wrought-iron gate and a stone path leading to the front door, with established mature hedging and plants either side. To the right is a gravelled driveway leading to a large garage. The rear garden is a particular highlight, a west-facing, walled space with deep borders of established flowers and plants.
