Property description
Forge Cottage is situated on the grounds of the Bayham Abbey estate within a hamlet-like enclave of former estate buildings to the rear of the main house. The property has been beautifully renovated by the current owners, to incorporate a blend of style, whilst retaining many characterful period features.
Upon entering the property, you are greeted with a generous-sized dining room with tiled flooring and French doors leading out to the garden. The fabulous open plan kitchen is a real focal point of the house with a central island with seating, bespoke fitted wall and base units, a Stoves Richmond range cooker, and integrated appliances. There is also a delightful seating area with a wood burner to the front with sliding patio doors leading out to the terrace, offering a great area for day-to-day life and entertaining.
Just off the kitchen, there is an attached separate annexe with a hallway leading to a separate utility room, gym and bathroom with access to the garage and office located above, offering great scope for more. The formal drawing room overlooks the front and rear of the property with wooden flooring and a feature fireplace.
On the first floor there are two generous-sized bedrooms, both with ensuites. The principal suite enjoys an attractive outlook with a walk-in dressing room with a stylish en suite. The sizeable guest bedroom with exposed beams is located across the second floor and offers a free-standing roll-top bath with a separate cloakroom.
Forge Cottage is approached via the main estate driveway that winds a most attractive route across open fields toward the main house, The property shares the internal courtyard of the quadrant with the other four residents but benefits from its own private rear garden with a large terrace area.
