The Forge

Description

The Forge is an exceptional single storey barn conversion set within the unique Wellesley Park estate just outside of Wells. This private estate of around 17.5 acres has been superbly redeveloped creating 18 outstanding individual properties together with unique facilities including a tennis court and spa with a large swimming pool, sauna, steam room, reading room and gym. All facilities are exclusively for the occupants at Wellesley Park. The properties are within the original holding and are mostly redeveloped farm buildings. Each has their own private garden and allocated parking spaces.

The Forge has been finished and appointed to a high standard throughout with traditional architecture and contemporary design combining to give modern living with character features.

The Forge benefits from additional upgrades from when the current owner bought the property 'off-plan' with underfloor heating throughout and ceiling speakers for the music system. The stunning open plan living area has oak flooring and features a wonderful sitting room area surrounded by full height windows with views over the garden and adjacent meadows. The accommodation comprises an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, with the open plan kitchen being very well appointed with granite work surfacing, and integrated Neff appliances including oven and combi microwave, gas hob, dishwasher, fridges and washing machine. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room. There are two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom. All bedrooms have built in wardrobes with automatic lighting.
