Description

"A charming Grade II listed home occupying a very generous plot in the sought after hamlet of Forthay, on the outskirts of North Nibley village. The property which has been in the same family for many years has been well loved and retains a great deal of character and integrity, but now requires modernisation to fulfil its potential.

Positioned at the end of a sweeping driveway the property enjoys a good degree of privacy and a wonderful outlook across its gardens and the rolling countryside beyond. The cottage garden style grounds offer expanses of level lawn and wild flower borders, mature woodland and a plethora of stunning roses. There is a large barn and adjoining workshop in addition to further outbuildings and a useful greenhouse.

Arranged over three floors the property offers generous room proportions and plenty of retained character features throughout. A spacious hall with stunning parquet flooring and a large coat cupboard creates a welcoming entrance. There is a mixture of panelling and exposed stone walls and a sweeping staircase leads to the first floor. Beneath the stairs a further door provides access to a useful cellar.

The dual aspect sitting room is a pleasant room with a lovely outlook over the front garden and a large inglenook fireplace with an unusual Norwegian Jotul cast iron stove. The dining room, opposite, is a generous room with fireplace and a larger design of Jotul stove. Dual aspect windows overlook the gardens.

The kitchen diner family room is positioned at the rear of the house and offers ample room for both a dining table and comfortable seating.
