DESCRIPTION The Forge is a very pretty detached period home positioned at the centre of this prime sought-after village within easy level walking distance to both pubs and conveniently just a 7-minute drive from Kemble train station.

Attractive limestone tiled flooring continues throughout the ground floor which further comprises a generous living room with wood burning stove, inner hall with cloakroom off, and a useful utility/boot room adjoining the carport. The first floor is split into two wings, the principal bedroom wing occupies the first floor above the original forge and includes a large double bedroom accompanied by a full en-suite bathroom. The other wing comprises two double bedrooms, main bathroom and continues up to the second floor which offers a further bedroom characterful attic room.
Outside, The Forge sits within a manageable south-facing plot accessed through double timber gates to a gravelled parking area in front of the carport.
