8, The Old Forge is situated in the heart of the village of Woolhope, Herefordshire. This idyllic country village is just 7 miles from both the cathedral city of Hereford, and the thriving market town of Ledbury, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ledbury has an abundance of independent shops, prize-winning butchers, supermarkets, both primary and secondary schools, library, swimming pool , and lively arts scene, including a renowned annual Poetry Festival. The historic city of Hereford - home to the world famous Mappa Mundi - offers everything you would expect from a riverside city - excellent shops, restaurants, hotels, schools, colleges, football team and leisure facilities. There is easy access by direct rail from both Ledbury and Hereford to London Paddington, (change at Worcester for Birmingham and the North). Nearest motorway is Junction 3 of the M50, 9 miles away. Woolhope itself is charming, with a rich village life. There is a monthly farmers market, and the village boasts a football club, tennis club, and cricket club. There are 2 village public houses, both brimming with charm and character. Nearby Fownhope, 2 miles away, has a doctor's surgery, primary school, post office, village shop, and members-only leisure spa with steam rooms, jacuzzi, pool and restaurant.
The Old Forge is a small and well-designed cluster of village houses built 15 years ago on the site of the village forge. This group of houses enjoys private parking with additional visitor spaces. Number 8 is an immaculately presented end terrace house with attached garage. The ground floor is of pink Herefordshire stone, while the first floor is rendered. The gabled entrance porch has a very useful coat /boot cupboard. The front door leads into the living room with warm toned 'old oak' parquet flooring and brick feature fireplace with calor gas 'wood' stove. There is a surprisingly roomy understairs storage cupboard. The kitchen/diner is light and airy with French windows leading directly onto a decking terrace area with coach lamp. Views here are to open countryside so this would be a perfect spot for an evening meal as the sun goes down. The kitchen itself is bright and attractive with a tiled washback (consisting of 8 complementary colours), country pine units, and a granite-style worktop with set in stainless steel sink and Hotpoint electric hob. There is also a fitted Hotpoint electric oven. The kitchen floored is laid with high quality Fired Earth St James terracotta tiles with Clarendon Patera diamond inserts. Stairs rise from the living room to the first floor: The master bedroom has a built in wardrobe and pleasing views of village rooftops, the church tower and the wooded hillsides beyond. The second bedroom enjoys views across the meadowland behind the house. The airing cupboard is in this room. The third bedroom, which could be used as a study/office shares the same village views as the master. The light and contemporary bathroom benefits from a ceramic tiled floor and etched glass shower screen.
8, The Old Forge has that extra sense of space due to its position at end terrace. It has an adjoining garage with double front doors, and a rear door giving access onto the garden. A family car could therefore be parked in the front of the garage, and patio furniture and tools stored in the rear. The garden behind the house is paved and gravelled and laid to shrubs, heathers, and box hedging. It is therefore easy to maintain, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the open views beyond it.
