La Forge

La Forge is a beautiful example of a listed Guernsey farmhouse, having been in the ownership of just two Guernsey families since it was first built in the early 1400s, although earlier records of the area suggest a dolmen site from the neolithic period and indeed large stones on the main gateway to the property are suggested to have been part of a dolmen or other neolithic structure. The original farmhouse would have been thatched and over the years up to 1750 was refurbished with barns and a new facade added. The property itself offers four bedrooms and a number of reception rooms, together with a vine house and adjacent barn which could be incorporated into the accommodation if required. In addition there are a number of granite outbuildings, including one housing a quite spectacular and fully complete original wooden cider press, animal driven wooden wheel and cogs. Set on a south facing site of approximately 1.5 acres and including formal gardens together with a field, this really is a unique and beautiful piece of Guernsey history.
