The Old Smithy

Description
The Old Smithy is an attractive detached period house standing within a good-sized plot of c.0.36 acres which was formerly the village petrol garage and shop. The property is positioned in the village centre with a lovely view across the church opposite and just a short walk to the pub. Since being purchased in 2015, the property has been converted and renovated to a good standard creating a characterful family-sized home. 
Extending to around 1,733 sq.ft, the accommodation includes three reception areas, a kitchen/breakfast room which was refitted last year with integrated appliances, and a separate utility room and WC. The living room features a cosy wood-burning stove while the sitting room has a fireplace with an inset electric fire. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and the family bathroom which has been upgraded with both a roll-top bath and large walk-in shower. In 2017, planning consent was granted for a two-storey extension to create a fashionable kitchen/family room with a dressing room above, and externally a double garage (now lapsed). 
The house is accompanied by an excellent range of outbuildings including a home office, workshop and garden studio. The home office has heating/air-conditioning and wired internet, and the garden studio has power and internet connected and is fitted with a bar. The lawned gardens wrap around the house with the rear main garden enjoying a south-facing aspect. There is a generous amount of private off-street parking for numerous vehicle types over the front gravelled forecourt.
