THE PROPERTY
Forge Cottage is a superb and very spacious detached family home in a quiet rural location and yet within easy distance of the A69, Corbridge, Hexham and commuting to Newcastle. The property forms part of a small group of similar homes and is accessed from a minor road which links the village of Newton and the A69. The property is a single storey converted barn, originally constructed in the 18th Century and more recently converted to create a delightful family home full of charm and character that one would expect of a property of this nature, including open pitched ceilings, exposed roof beams and large windows. The well proportioned accommodation has double glazing throughout, oil fired central heating and briefly comprises entrance lobby, large dining room with windows to two aspects, living room with a feature open fire place and a very spacious breakfasting/living kitchen. There is also a separate utility room and a large study which although currently used as a gym could be used as an additional double bedroom, play room etc. Alot of the principle rooms have oak flooring. There is a cloakroom and a spacious family sitting room used as an entertaining space with built in bar. There are several sets of twin patio doors leading out onto the gardens. The bedroom corridor provides access to the master bedroom with en-suite facilities, guest bedroom with en-suite facilities, family bathroom and three further double bedrooms, totaling five. Outside there is detached quadruple garaging, greenhouse and gardens which are a particular feature of this home being totally enclosed mainly by high stone walling and offer well stocked and extensive borders and several large patio areas and two large ponds. The gardens are well screened and offer a very high degree of privacy. Properties of this nature, caliber and size rarely come onto the market in this superb and most convenient location and will undoubtedly attract interest. We strongly recommend an internal inspection to fully appreciate what is on offer.
