Description

This Grade II listed Tudor house, known as The Old Forge, is a unique and historic property situated in the Hertfordshire village of Lilley. Dating back to the late 15th century, the house still retains many of its original features, including four fireplaces, beams, and a cellar, which is said to have hidden John Bunyan during the Reformation. The current owners have undertaken significant renovations to modernize the property while preserving its historic charm. The house now boasts over 3,000 square feet of accommodation, including a large kitchen/breakfast/snug area with a handmade kitchen and bespoke Aga, as well as an annexe and a party barn. The property is set in mature grounds of approximately 0.33 acres and features gas central heating and new windows throughout.
