Property description

A Grade II Listed brick under clay, four bedroom village property with three reception rooms overlooking an enclosed rear garden in the heart of Weedon village.

The Old Forge dates in origin to the late 18th Century, was originally the village forge, and retains period features including exposed beams, original doors, and an exposed brick fireplace. It has over 1,850 sq. ft. of combined accommodation arranged over three floors, including the cellar. The property has been extended and renovated over the years and now offers on the ground floor, three separate reception rooms: a sitting room, a conservatory, and a study/family room. There is a kitchen/breakfast room which is open plan with the dining area, a utility/boot room, a cloakroom, and a ground floor bedroom. On the first floor, the landing accesses three further bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, and the family bathroom. The property is located on the village High Street in the centre of Weedon and the rear patio/courtyard and enclosed lawned garden are well orientated to catch the afternoon sun.

Ground Floor

The entrance hall opens to a study/family room and a dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A focal point - the remodelled kitchen/breakfast room - is open plan to the dining area with an original brick fireplace with a wooden surround and alcove cupboards. At the rear of the kitchen is a recently extended utility/boot room with a vaulted ceiling and a cloakroom. A sitting room door leads to the conservatory, which has doors to the westerly facing rear garden and to the ground floor bedroom with vaulted ceilings and overlooking the garden. The property also has a cellar.

First Floor

The stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor landing which accesses three further bedrooms. The double aspect principal bedroom has recently been modernised along with the four piece en suite bathroom with a Velux window, and the walk-in wardrobe. There are a further family bathroom and a study/nursery area with a dormer window overlooking the garden, added as part of the recent upgrades.
