About The Old Forge
The Old Forge is a detached house in Osbaston, Monmouth, Monmouth (NP25 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
