As it's name suggest, the property was the former village forge dating back over 600 years, very much dated by its cruck frame construction popular from the 12th century. Parts of the original frame are exposed within the property adding to its considerable charm.

The property offers expansive ground floor accommodation with a superb farmhouse style Kitchen/Dining Room with a wide range of units and an oil fired 'Aga'. There is a separate Dining Room, a character Lounge with large stone open fireplace and a large extra Sitting Room is ideal for a games room.
