This stunning Grade II listed detached thatched cottage, known as The Forge, is situated in the picturesque hamlet of Whitehall, just a few minutes' drive from the villages of Hemyock and Culmstock. The property retains many original features, including exposed ceiling timbers and panelling, a large fireplace with oak beams, and original doors. The cottage offers a spacious and well-proportioned family home, with five bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. The property also features a huge L-shaped barn that can be converted into a large annexe, workshop, or independent holiday cottage units, subject to planning. The gardens are a delightful mix of lawns, flower beds, and shrub borders, with a pretty part-cobbled, part-paved terrace and two tiny stone outbuildings providing useful storage. The Forge is situated in a rural position, surrounded by the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with many footpaths, bridleways, and woodland nearby. The property is within easy reach of the surrounding villages and towns, and has good access to the M5 motorway and mainline rail services.
