Occupying a south facing spot off the village green, Old Forge Cottage is a charming period property; previously Cropton village forge, which underwent a complete renovation around 12 years ago where the accommodation was remodelled to create a more contemporary flow of accommodation and an emphasis on creating an energy efficient home. PV panels fitted to the roof bring in a welcome annual RHI, the property is double glazed throughout, there is underfloor heating to the ground floor and the house is centrally heated via an air source heat pump. The result being a character property where the traditional and the modern meld easily together and which scores a high C in its EPC.

The stylish accommodation amounts to almost 1,700 square feet in total and briefly comprises the following. Entrance porch with cloakroom and a separate utility. Large open plan kitchen diner with French windows opening out onto the south facing terrace and a generous living and sitting room with multi fuel stove. Upstairs are three double bedrooms the master being exceptionally generous and with an en-suite shower room as well as a further house bathroom. Large, fitted wardrobes to two of the bedrooms offers ample storage space.

Old Forge Cottage occupies a sizable south facing plot, with an open aspect to the front. Attractively landscaped, the garden combines a more formal lawned garden with well stocked borders planted up with shrubs and spring bulbs and a large vegetable and soft fruit garden to the far end, with fruit cages and vegetable beds. Perfect for those buyers keen to create a more sustainable way of living. There is plenty of parking on the driveway and within the garage. There is a large stone barn which currently provides useful storage but could easily be adapted as an office or studio space.
