5 bedroom house for sale

Description

The Old Forge in Broadmayne is the perfect blend of rustic countryside living and sleek modern architecture. This already charming 5 Bedroom property has had the benefit of a bespoke single level extension which almost doubles the original property's ground floor square footage. This not only increased the living area but has provided the perfect space for a truly unique indoor 17ft Hydropool Swimspa (which self-cleans) and is indorsed by Olympic Swimmers. Viewing is thoroughly recommended to appreciate the properties unique spaces and the way the light floods through the glass and steel internal doorways.

Accommodation

Entrance to the property can either be via the original cottage's main front door or via the additional side doorway which is directly accessed by the side driveway / graveled area with enough parking for 5 vehicles.

The Ground Floor accommodation comprises of an open plan kitchen with stylish green cabinetry and central island; a useful fully fitted pantry with built in freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer; a separate boot room; a relaxed family room; an additional more snug family room with a wood burning stove; bedroom 5; bedroom 2 which benefits from en-suite shower room and double doors leading directly to the central courtyard. Heading now towards the extension you will find a glass cubed reception room with a central glass fireplace allowing you to see through and fully appreciate the space. This in turn leads to the property's new main reception area which benefits from velux electric windows and access to the stunning pool room.

The First Floor accommodation is split into two sections which gives the master area a private feel. Accessed via a staircase from the snug you will at one end find Bedrooms 3 & 4 both generous doubles and the recently modernised family bathroom with free standing bathtub and walk in shower. Accessed via a staircase in the dining area you will find the master floor which includes a large primary bedroom with rustic and bright exposed beams, en-suite bathroom with shower cubicle and multiple eave storage areas.
