FORGE Cottage is a delightful detached red brick cottage believed to date back over 200 years. It has been sympathetically extended and effortlessly combines original features such as beams to ceilings and original doors with a contemporary breakfast kitchen and large garden room providing further living and dining space. The property has been wonderfully maintained and cared for and could be lived in and enjoyed straight away. The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and provide views across open fields and beyond. The comfortable sitting room features an elegant Georgian working fireplace with ornate pine surround and marble slips and hearth with log burner. In the cosy snug, a large brick fireplace holds a log burner and features an old bread oven. The large, bright breakfast kitchen has a country feel and an attractive range of kitchen units with granite work surface, Rayburn, dishwasher, waste disposal unit and terracotta floor tiles. A good sized cloakroom and useful utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer are accessed from the kitchen. Completing the ground floor accommodation is an impressive garden room which provides a light and elegant space from which to enjoy views of the garden and adjoining countryside. This room has double glazing and under floor heating and can be used all year round.

To the first floor the light and airy master bedroom offers character and charm with beams and dual aspect windows. The landing area is fitted with large built in wardrobes. A second double bedroom also benefits from dual aspect windows with wonderful views over the adjoining fields, woodland and countryside. The main bathroom features a free standing roll top bath with traditional style shower attachment while the shower room is well fitted with a large shower enclosure and built in vanity unit with tiled top.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway which provides parking for several cars. The old forge is currently utilised as a garage with a useful workshop behind. Planning permission has previously been granted to convert the forge into separate living accommodation. This has now lapsed but the current owners believe it could potentially be re-instated. To the front of the property, a pretty front garden is planted with colourful cottage flowers with a seating area and fig tree to one side. The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped to provide several distinct garden rooms and a pervading air of tranquillity. Several low beds are bounded by box hedging providing a traditional knot garden surrounding the fountain in the centre of the garden. A lavender lined walkway sheltered by a metal pergola leads to one of several seating areas. A small vegetable garden is screened from view by low Yew hedging. At the end of the garden a wooden fence forms the boundary to the field with a toughened glass screen lit by spot lights at night, providing an open view to the field and beyond. Outside the kitchen is a patio area covered with a glazed roof which can be used all year round.

The property is situated just outside the picturesque village of Bosbury close to the popular market town of Ledbury. The cottage sits adjacent to a wildlife reserve and has fields to the rear and the side of the property. Bosbury is ideally located within the rolling Herefordshire countryside and offers a village shop, primary school, public house and church. The nearby market town of Ledbury offers an abundance of facilities including a cottage hospital, primary and secondary schooling and an eclectic range of independent shops. Further shopping and leisure facilities are available in the cathedral cities of Hereford and Worcester.
