Description

This Grade II listed Tudor house, known as The Old Forge, is a five-bedroom detached property with a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. The house has been lovingly restored and modernized by the current owners, who have added significant extensions, including a kitchen extension and a 15ft boot room, to create a spacious and comfortable living space. The property features four fireplaces, beams, and a cellar, and is said to have hidden John Bunyan during the Reformation. The kitchen is a standout feature, with a handmade kitchen from Harpenden designer Daniel Ramsay, a bespoke five-door electric Aga, and French doors leading out to the patio areas in the garden. The property also includes a separate annexe and a party barn, set in mature grounds of approximately 0.33 acres in the charming Hertfordshire village of Lilley.
