West Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5SA

Welcome to The Old Forge.

A deceptively spacious detached character home in the delightful village setting of West Lulworth, on the world-renowned Jurassic Coast and within walking distance of Lulworth Cove itself.

The property offers character in abundance with period features including thick walls, cast iron style radiators, exposed timber beams and stonework, whilst benefiting from a layout suited to modern living.

The Old Forge has been a successful second home and holiday let for the current owners, who are giving you the opportunity to take over the mantle of this desirable property.

A traditional PORCH leads into the ENTRANCE HALL. A welcoming hallway, with a staircase rising to a galleried first floor landing and plenty of natural light filtering down from above.

Doors lead off the entrance hall into various rooms including the main RECEPTION ROOM, a wonderfully sociable space with ample room for both a substantial dining table and relaxed seating for a good number of guests.

A broad brick fireplace with a log burner creates a striking focal point, while four windows bring natural light into the room.

Pale timber flooring and a simple neutral finish complement the exposed brickwork and give the accommodation a light, understated character.

French doors lead into the SUNROOM where the character of the original building is combined with an abundance of glazing.

Exposed brick and stone walls and a substantial timber beam sit beneath a painted beamed ceiling, while the glazed roof and full-height doors make the most of the outlook over the garden.

This creates a lovely transition between the house and outside and provides a versatile additional sitting area.

The KITCHEN BREAKFAST ROOM, accessible from both the Sunroom and the Reception Room, combines traditional features with practical everyday space.

A range of base units are complemented by granite work surfaces and a Belfast-style sink positioned under a window, whilst a freestanding island provides additional preparation space and informal seating.

A traditional range cooker forms an attractive focal point. Exposed stone and brickwork provide a wonderful reminder of the building’s origins, with stone flooring continuing the period feel.

A stable-style door opens to the rear garden, bringing in further natural light and providing convenient access.

A further door leads to the separate UTILITY ROOM With chequerboard tiled floor, cupboard housing Megaflow™ hot water cylinder, window, space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, additional door to front, a useful way to come in from that coastal walk!

BEDROOM THREE (with ensuite SHOWER ROOM) and BEDROOM FOUR, both very well proportioned rooms, are also on the ground floor, accessed off the entrance hall, as is a further FAMILY BATHROOM.

This is fitted with a suite that includes a roll top bath, whilst on the FIRST FLOOR you will find a GALLERIED LANDING with storage cupboards, doors to both bedrooms.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM benefits from a delightful view over the rear garden, with a door leading into the PRINCIPAL ENSUITE BATHROOM, a generously sized light filled room fitted with a modern three-piece suite, also with access to a good storage area.

The SECOND BEDROOM is also on this floor and benefits from a further ensuite SHOWER ROOM with white suite and window.

Outside The property opens onto an established garden which rises away from the house, with areas of lawn and mature trees, shrubs and climbing plants creating an attractive, leafy backdrop and offering views across parts of the village.

Immediately adjoining the house are areas suited to outdoor seating, making the garden a natural extension of the living accommodation.

Location School Lane is nicely tucked away yet accessible to the more southerly part of the village and offers easy access to the popular Castle Inn and numerous coastal walks.

There is also a wide selection of other restaurants and pubs further into the village.

Additional amenities can be found up the road in the nearby village of Wool, where you can find a mainline station offering services to London Waterloo as well as Poole, Dorchester and Weymouth, along with a bakers, butchers, post office, chemist and many other useful shops, just a ten minute or so drive away.
