Forge Road, Kingsley

Discreetly positioned behind an area of green, this enchanting home enjoys a peaceful setting just a short stroll from the village shop, the much-loved Kingsley Common, and the tranquil village pond. Believed to have once been two separate cottages, the property retains an abundance of period detail while offering modern comforts for today’s living.

The ground floor boasts four versatile reception rooms, each with its own unique appeal. The largest, measuring an impressive 22'7 in length, showcases a fireplace with wood-burning stove, exposed beams, and a deep bay window flooding the room with light. A second reception room offers a further wood-burning stove set against a feature wall of exposed brick, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen leads to the dining room, an impressive space with a high ceiling and skylights that allow natural light to pour in, with a door to the garden—perfect for entertaining.

The heart of the home is the newly fitted Shaker-style kitchen, thoughtfully designed and featuring a range of wall and base units topped with luxurious work surfaces, an integrated dishwasher, electric oven, and a four-ring induction hob. A classic composite sink and drainer is perfectly placed beneath the front-facing window, offering delightful garden views. From here, a spacious rear hallway provides additional storage and utility space, with direct access to the garden and stairs leading to the first floor.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three of which are generously proportioned doubles. The principal suite, stretching to 22 ft, includes a dressing area, built-in cupboard, and captivating views over the rear garden and surrounding countryside. The fourth bedroom, a charming single, would make an ideal nursery or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, glass screen, wash basin, WC, and obscured window.

Outside, the south-west facing garden extends to approximately a third of an acre, offering a wonderful sense of privacy. A paved terrace leads to sweeping lawns, attractively planted with mature shrubs and fruit trees. Additional features include a garage, a store, and a versatile studio.
