Forge Cottage, Slaugham

Welcome to Village Life…
Some houses have a special feeling the moment you arrive, and this beautiful Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Warninglid is certainly one of them.
Believed to date back to around 1560, the house is full of everything you could wish for in an English country cottage – exposed oak beams, characterful rooms, an impressive inglenook fireplace and a wonderful sense of history.
Yet behind all that charm is a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully modernised home, with three bedrooms, generous living space and truly exceptional gardens.
The House
The spacious sitting room is a wonderful place to retreat to, with its magnificent inglenook fireplace creating the perfect setting for cosy winter evenings. The separate dining room is made for Sunday lunches, family celebrations and evenings entertaining friends, while the conservatory adds another lovely dimension to the ground floor – somewhere to sit with a morning coffee, read a book or simply enjoy the changing seasons in the garden. The well-fitted kitchen blends comfortably with the cottage's traditional character, while upstairs there are three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, alongside a family bathroom.
Throughout the house, soft, neutral finishes complement the exposed oak timbers, creating a warm and welcoming home that feels both timeless and comfortable.
A Garden to Fall in Love With…
Beautifully landscaped and lovingly maintained, they have been designed as a collection of distinct spaces, each with its own character and atmosphere.
There are generous lawns, a productive orchard and delightful ornamental gardens, with carefully clipped box hedging, symmetrical planting and charming arbours.
Whether it's summer lunches on the lawn, pottering in the garden, picking fruit from the orchard or simply finding a peaceful spot to unwind, this is outdoor space to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
A driveway provides parking and leads to the double garage, which also benefits from a useful WC.
The Location
Set along The Street in the heart of Warninglid, the cottage enjoys a wonderful position in one of Mid Sussex's most picturesque villages.
The popular Half Moon pub, village hall, recreation ground and children's play area are all part of local village life, while beautiful surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for walking and exploring.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, Warninglid is conveniently placed for the A23, with Haywards Heath, Horsham, Brighton and Gatwick all accessible.
A truly special home where centuries of character, beautiful gardens and the pleasures of village life come together.
