La Rue de la Forge - often referred to as Old Forge Lane - was initially developed in the 1960s, designed with professionals in mind - particularly bank managers - in order to meet the demand for larger residences as the finance sector expanded. By covenant only one dwelling is permitted per plot resulting in a neighbourhood of substantial properties.
Located in a quiet part of the close, this 2,500 square foot residence is perfect for a growing family. The spacious and light accommodation on two levels comprises entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen / family room, games room / playroom, utility and cloakroom at ground floor level. Upstairs a large landing serves three bedrooms - all ensuite - and a versatile 23 foot lounge with doors to a good size terrace.
The flexible reception rooms provide the new owners with plenty of options. The lower level games room / playroom could easily become a further bedroom if required, comfortably served by the adjoining cloakroom which could be adapted to act as an ensuite. Indeed this house could effortlessly operate as a five bedroom property utilising the third and fourth reception rooms if preferred.
