A detached, Grade II listed, family home, with annexe accommodation in a semi-rural setting

With red brick and tile-hung elevations, Smithy House offers a traditional Grade II listed, versatile home, in need of some modernisation, but still retaining many period features, including exposed timbers and brickwork, ledge and brace doors and a wonderful inglenook fireplace. On the ground floor, a porch entrance leads into a sizeable reception room with a rustic, open tread staircase to one corner and at its heart an impressive period fireplace, offering a warming ambience on chilly evenings. An inner hall gives access to a formal dining room, with a kitchen/breakfast room beyond. Fitted with timber cabinetry and tiled work tops, the kitchen also has a door to the outside. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a generous family bathroom, with the principal room having the benefit of en suite facilities. Adjoining the main house, but with a separate access, the annexe accommodation comprises a ground floor reception room, along with a kitchen and adjacent bathroom, whilst on the floor above, there is a bedroom and large eaves storage. This secondary dwelling offers various options for use, including accommodation for a dependent relative, or for visiting guests, a home working area or perhaps an additional income stream.

This property has 2.18 acres of land.

Outside

Evergreen hedging fronts the road, with wrought-iron vehicular and pedestrian gates leading to a paved driveway which provides parking for numerous cars and access to the detached, double car port. There are expanses of lawn to the side and rear of the home, bordered by both hedging and post-and-rail fencing, allowing lovely views out to the fields and countryside beyond. Paved terracing adjoining the house offer opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. Adjacent to the garden is approximately 1.5 acres of land with a stable and some further outbuildings requiring modernisation, with versatile use options.
