The Old Forge, Tring Road, Wilstone, Hertfordshire

Jon-Paul Brampton presents....The Old Forge in Wilstone. 

the property

Located in the heart of this well regarded Hertfordshire village, this period detached home, dating back to circa 1830, offers character charm and generous space throughout.

Entering through the gate in the picket fence and walking up the front path, you are greeted by a charming front door, here there is access through to a front porch where shoes and coats can be removed and stored. 

The main living room is the the left hand flank of the property, and really is a show stopper of a room. Forming what would have been the original forge, with its vaulted and beamed ceiling it is a large space with panoramic views. A wood burning stove sits centre stage and there is ample room for large sofas and chairs, and a dining table is you so wish. 

Along the inner hallway there are two further reception rooms, currently used as a dining room to the front, and a snug/study to the rear. There is a downstairs WC for convenience and a kitchen/breakfast room to the right hand flank of the house. Again a good size room with an array for base level units, worktops and space for utilities. A charming stable door provides access out to the side the property. 

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The main bedroom is a good size and benefits from its own ensuite shower. There is a further double bedroom and a large single bedroom, both serviced by a family bathroom. There is loft access on the landing with a pull down ladder with the loft being fully boarded. 

Externally there is a garage to the left hand side of the property, and a pretty fenced garden to the front, perfect for relaxing in the warmer months and watching the world go by.

All in all a truly one of a kind home is a stunning location, but please do not just take my word for it! Browse the photos, watch the video tour and then if you think this could be the home for you, get in touch to arrange a viewing.
