Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Woodbridge, IP13 :
The Forge was originally built in 1795. The current owners have extended the property and made the accommodation spacious and flexible with rooms that are light and bright with a contemporary feel, whilst at the same time rediscovering and revealing many original period features. The forge itself is now a spacious living room, with multi-fuel stove and wood panel vaulted ceiling. Adjacent is the ex-stable, once used for shoeing horses and now a very flexible space used as a utility room and gym, with a useful well-lit mezzanine floor currently used as a hobby workshop area. What was the smiths cottage has a dining room, with multi-fuel stove in an inglenook fireplace, exposed ceiling timbers and a period-style stud wall divider creating a study or reading area. The dining room is adjacent to a spacious walk-in larder with cold slab, and to the kitchen which also houses an airing cupboard that contains the oil-fired boiler. The small front entrance hall leads to a downstairs bathroom. The new rear extension has a conservatory-style garden room that features Spanish tiles to the dado, with glazed door leading to the rear winter garden, a second sitting room - with a superb picture window to the rear - and Catalan-style staircase to the first floor. A second study also leads off this room, which has windows to the rear and side gardens. Three of the first-floor bedrooms are full of character with exposed beams and timbers, with the main bedroom featuring the original Victorian fire basket whilst another bedroom includes a warm linen cupboard. The final bedroom is part of the extension - another double bedroom - with a Juliet balcony and stunning views over the countryside. A family bathroom with a large shower cubicle, WC and basin completes the first floor accommodation.
The garden is mainly to the side of the property, a mixture of lawn, mature shrub beds and cottage style vegetable/fruit plot. Outbuildings include a Lugard summer house and a potting shed with windows matching the main house, both with power and light fitted, a Hartley greenhouse, a sizeable workshop and a log-store.
The property has high-performance double glazing and oil-fired central heating and is not a listed building.
