Description

Forge Cottage is a well-presented detached cottage set in the heart of Woodditton village, featuring attractive weatherboarded and brick-and-flint elevations under a pantiled roof, with double glazing and oil-fired central heating throughout.

The entrance hall opens into a vaulted, double-aspect sitting/dining room with exposed timbers and understairs storage. The kitchen is fitted with base and eye-level units, induction hob, oven, extractor, and stainless steel sink, with space for a fridge-freezer and washing machine. The ground floor also provides a principal bedroom with side aspect window, a bathroom with bath and shower attachment, wash basin and WC, and an inner hall with storage. On the first floor, a landing with roof light and wood flooring leads to two further bedrooms, both with built-in or side aspect features.

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking and access to the garage, which benefits from double wooden doors, power, lighting, and houses the oil-fired boiler and wash basin. The front garden is neatly landscaped with brick-and-flint walling, fencing, and planted borders. The enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs, and flower borders. Architect's drawings are available showing a proposed open-plan kitchen/dining room extension into the garage, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Woodditton is a popular village just outside Newmarket, with a well-regarded pub, a church, and good access to the surrounding countryside. Newmarket town centre provides a wide range of shops, schools, restaurants, and leisure facilities, including two racecourses. The area is well connected by road via the A14, A11, and M11, by rail from Newmarket to Cambridge and Ipswich with onward connections into London in under an hour, and by air via Stansted Airport approximately 40 minutes away.
