Forge Cottage, Easby

About this property...

Forge Cottage, a charming rustic gem nestled in the heart of open countryside, stands as a testament to history, dating back to the 1700s. The cottage shares its idyllic location with the adjoining Easby Methodist Chapel, creating a quaint and peaceful atmosphere.

This grade-listed cottage unfolds over three levels, each exuding its own unique charm and character. The bottom floor, once the old forge room, has been transformed into a cosy sitting room. The echoes of its past linger, creating an ambiance that transports you to a bygone era.

Ascending to the middle floor, you'll find a spacious living room with a spiral staircase leading down to the sitting room below. The architectural details and period features seamlessly blend the old with the new, offering a comfortable and inviting space to relax.

The kitchen, a testament to craftsmanship, graces the middle floor. Handcrafted with attention to detail, it adds a touch of rustic elegance to the cottage. The top floor boasts three bedrooms, each with its own unique character, and a convenient shower room for modern comfort.

As you explore the surroundings, panoramic views of the Cleveland Hills unfold, showcasing landmarks like Captain Cook's Monument, The Wainstones, and Carlton Bank in the distance. Nature's beauty becomes a part of everyday life, creating a serene backdrop for this historic dwelling.

Externally, an easy-maintenance garden, allows residents to enjoy the outdoors without the hassle of extensive upkeep. A charming summer house provides a perfect spot to soak in the tranquillity of the surroundings.

Completing the ensemble, a practical garage stands ready to accommodate the needs of rural living, offering storage for tools, equipment, and perhaps a vehicle or two.
