Description
The Old Forge is located in a peaceful and enviable position within the hamlet of East Hatch. East Hatch is within the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 2 miles west of the sought-after village of Tisbury.
This stylish and attractive stone cottage is not listed and was the subject of a comprehensive renovation and extension project led by Classic Architecture in 2018 shortly after it was purchased by the current owners. The whole property has been stunningly designed, with attention to detail evident in every room.
The front porch leads into the entrance hall, with cloakroom and WC easily to hand. The principal bedroom lies off, with engineered oak floorboards, an en suite dressing room (with French doors) and adjoining bathroom with herringbone brick floor and a separate walk-in shower.
Leading from the hall the other way, the sitting room is a truly striking space, with an open fire place and bi-fold doors opening along one side of the room onto the west-facing garden terrace.
A curved wall provides a stylish touch and connects the sitting room neatly with the kitchen/dining room; a really amazing space, with vaulted ceiling and further bi-fold doors leading out to the west-facing terrace.
The bespoke Devol kitchen includes integrated appliances include a Miele oven, Bosch dishwasher and Neff gas hob. There is also a larder with chalk-board door and utility room with herringbone brick floor and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Upstairs, the landing leads to two further bedrooms and a large family bathroom.
The property is approached up a private lane, onto a resin-bonded drive and parking area. This charming cottage is privately positioned with wonderful far-reaching views towards the combe of Hatch Bottom.
The garden lies to the south and north-westerly side of the cottage and is arranged on different levels, mainly laid to lawn. A large terrace wraps around the west side of the cottage, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
