The Old Forge is a striking and grand detached period home located on the outskirts of the charming village of Chittlehampton. In excellent decorative order, this property features four to five bedrooms, three reception rooms, outbuildings, and offers potential for an annex (STP).

Upon entering the home, you're greeted by an open porch that leads into a cross passage with a tiled floor, stairs ascending to the first floor, and doors to the three main principal rooms. To your right is the living room, featuring an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, a sash window with deep sills, and a built-in wall cupboard.

From the hall is the dining room, which boasts another inglenook fireplace and a distinctive fitted safe, a relic from when the property served as a shop, with a glazed fitted dresser above and steps lead down into the Forge.

The kitchen/breakfast room, located at the rear of the property, is an impressive 28 feet long and is exceptionally well-equipped with stylish matching wall and base units, wooden countertops, an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a freestanding double oven, which is included in the sale. The kitchen also features a handy utility room with plumbing for a washing machine.

From the dining room, steps lead down to the former forge, which has been tastefully converted into an additional reception room. This space features a vaulted ceiling, a wood-burning stove, and dual-aspect windows that make it bright and airy. A staircase leads up to a spacious bedroom with an ensuite shower room. This area is perfect for use as an annex (subject to planning) and benefits from a personnel door into the garage.

On the first floor, there are four additional bedrooms. The master bedroom is a large room with fitted double wardrobes and an ensuite shower room, comprising of a shower, WC, and wash hand basin. Two more double bedrooms are also on this floor, and the fifth bedroom currently serves as a convenient home office. The family bathroom is equipped with a bath with a shower over it, a WC, and a wash hand basin.

The rear garden is enclosed by charming stone walls and filled with well-established plants.
