DESCRIPTION This substantial detached period residence is located on the edge of the much sought after village of Cheriton Bishop fronting onto a single track country lane, and within a short walk of the excellent range of amenities on hand which include two excellent inns, post office/shop, and health centre etc. The A30 is within easy reach and provides fast and easy access to Exeter (with the m5 motorway beyond), or Okehampton and Cornwall to the west. The magnificent Dartmoor national park is within a short drive, where lovely riverside and moorland walks can be enjoyed.

As the name suggests, many years ago the property used to be the old village forge, and was probably originally thatched. Now, it contains very spacious and comfortable family accommodation benefitting from modern day conveniences including an en-suite bathroom, uPVC double glazing and oil central heating throughout. The property contains 2 staircases which allows much flexibility to the accommodation, lending itself to a variety of possible layouts, including the potential to create a self contained annexe in the "forge" part of the house (obviously subject to the necessary permissions if major alterations were to take place).

The house has much charm and character, with period features including a lovely inglenook style fireplace in the living room, many exposed beams and roof timbers. There is a modern fitted kitchen, dining area, 2nd living room/snug (an ideal retreat for teenagers), a utility, spacious study, and adjoining garage building. The garden is a lovely feature of the property, being level, fully enclosed and designed for relative ease of maintenance plus there is ample off road parking for several cars. There are also some lovely rural views towards Dartmoor.
