Ground Floor: The ground floor of Forge Cottage offers an exceptional layout for modern living, with underfloor heating in the kitchen ensuring comfort throughout the year. A conveniently located utility room provides direct access to the integrated garage. The stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area is set for completion in early 2025. However, potential buyers who view the property before this date will have the exclusive opportunity to collaborate with the developers in selecting the finishing touches, including kitchen styles and potentially flooring. This exceptional space will feature high-end units, a central island, and integrated modern appliances, creating a chef-inspired kitchen dinning space. Two elegant glass lantern roofs, with integrated lighting, enhance the space’s beauty and flood the room with natural light. French doors open seamlessly onto the rear garden, offering a perfect connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Beyond the kitchen, through double doors, you are welcomed into what will be the family living room, an expansive space ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Adjacent to this is an additional room, perfect for use as a study or playroom, offering a sense of connection for the family while maintaining a sense of separation.

Continuing into the rear hallway, access is provided to a downstairs w/c and an exceptional room that can be easily adapted to suit a variety of needs. Whether envisioned as a bespoke boot room or, for those working from home, a private office, this space offers great flexibility.

The final room off of the rear hallway lies the inviting snug room, featuring a staircase leading to the first floor, access from the front door, and is ready to accept a log-burning stove if desired. This cosy retreat will be the ideal setting for both relaxing and entertaining.

First Floor: Ascending to the first floor, you will discover four exquisitely appointed bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The principal suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a private dressing room, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, complete with both a bath and shower.

The additional three bedrooms include two generously sized doubles and a well-proportioned single, all served by a sleek, modern family bathroom. Every room has been meticulously designed to maximise natural light and space, while preserving the home’s distinctive period charm.

Outside: The exterior of Forge Cottage is as enchanting as its interior. The front of the property features a stone-walled forecourt, complemented by elegant metal railings and a charming gateway, setting a sophisticated first impression. The forecourt is further enhanced with decorative pebbled stones, leading to a pathway that guides you to the rear yard.

At the back of the cottage a beautifully landscaped garden awaits. With an expansive paved patio, meticulously manicured raised lawn, and vibrant planting borders, this space offers the perfect setting for both relaxed outdoor living and refined entertaining. The driveway provides access to a generous block-paved parking area, the rear access is fully equipped with automation and an intercom system, ready to accommodate electric gates if you wish to add these at a later date, the cottage also benefits from a single attached garage, ensuring both convenience and privacy.

Location: Forge Cottage enjoys an enviable position in the charming Hamlet of Cowers Lane, conveniently situated between the market towns of Belper and Ashbourne. The area offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and accessibility. Nearby Belper, just 4 miles away, boasts award-winning high streets, excellent recreational facilities, and a range of shops and restaurants. Ashbourne, known as the gateway to the Peak District, is a mere 8 miles away, providing further opportunities for exploration and leisure.

For commuters, Derby City Centre is easily accessible, offering extensive shopping and transport links, including connections to the national rail network via Belper’s railway station. Whether you seek the charm of countryside living or the convenience of nearby amenities, Forge Cottage is perfectly placed to offer the best of both worlds.
