Fovant, SP3 5JA

A characterful and surprisingly generous three/four bedroom village home, offering scope for enhancement and enjoying a delightful position beside the Fovant Brook THE PROPERTY   The Forge is a charming and characterful property occupying a prominent yet corner position, just off the High Street in the popular village of Fovant.

Originally constructed in Chilmark Stone, the property has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a versatile home, combining period character with generous and adaptable accommodation.

Set within easy level walking distance of the village pub, shop and doctors' surgery, the property is particularly well placed for village life, whilst its position on the banks of the Fovant Brook provides a delightful riverside aspect to the rear.

The generous sitting room provides a welcoming centrepiece, with a large feature fireplace creating an attractive focal point.

There is also a conservatory and a separate dining room, together with a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a useful study which could equally serve as a fourth bedroom if required.

The first floor provides two further bedrooms, served by a family...

OUTSIDE   Approached via a gated driveway, there is excellent parking for several vehicles, together with a useful detached outbuilding which offers considerable versatility.

Currently providing valuable storage, this could potentially be converted to additional accommodation, a home office, studio or annexe-style space, subject of course to the necessary planning consents.

Inside, the accommodation is considerably more spacious than the exterior might initially suggest.

The gardens are very private incorporating two lawned areas plus an outside dining area and concrete pad which housed a workshop which could be reinstated.

To the front of the property sit the original stocks for the village, the stocks are Grade II listed but the house is not.
