The Forge

The Forge is pure postcard Devon, a 400 year old building that has been sympathetically modernised with all the latest conveniences and stands right in the heart of Georgeham, home to Tarka the Otter author Henry Williamson. It is perfectly located for the golden triangle of beaches at Putsborough, Croyde and Woolacombe with glorious Saunton merely a stones throw further away. If you are a surfer or golfer, or simply love the Devon coastline, this property is a must for you.

Come and stay to release the stress of the daily grind in a 400 year old Forge situated in the village of Georgeham, near Croyde (minutes from the sea!).

The village of Georgeham is nestled between Woolacombe and Croyde and boasts one pub, one restaurant and a great, well stocked village shop.

The Forge House

The Forge house is a converted blacksmith forge and attached barn containing 4/5 bedrooms, a large lounge and dining room and well-equipped kitchen. This accommodation is set over many levels and includes a self contained annex. It is a house of well designed features using many natural materials blending modern with old. The outside space is just as unique offering three ‘garden rooms’

One of the main attractions of the Forge is its location. The nearest beach is the award winning Putsborough Sands approximately one and half miles from the front door.

If surfing is your thing you will appreciate the sounds of the waves from Croyde the well known surf spot whilst at the Forge. The village of Georgeham itself surrounds this property. A few steps up the road takes you to the well stocked village shop and of course the famous Rock Inn.

The Forge House is a perfect place for families to stay in, Georgeham in or out of the summer season. With so many different levels and rooms widely spaced out there is no reason for anyone not to enjoy the time spent there.

Exterior

One of The Forge’s most attractive features is its enclosed decked garden of many levels. It is set out in a series of ‘garden rooms’
– a main leisure area which is a large deck for eating out with table, chairs and parasol (on request), a central area which can be accessed from French doors off of the main bedroom and is perfect for small barbecues (small barby provided) or sitting with a glass of wine or two: and finally the top deck which has a children’s swing but which is also designed to take hammocks (hooks are provided – so don’t forget to bring one if you have one!) where you can take in the sun sets and the countryside views.
