About this property

Beautiful reconstruction of the Old Smithy, a two-bedroom semi-detached home.

Located in the heart of the Conservation Area, this stunning character cottage has been sympathetically reconstructed by the current owner, integrating modern technologies and energy-efficient features, whilst maintaining its original charm.

Solid Oak doors, brushed Stainless Steel fittings and Black Glass create a unique, contemporary touch to the design. The open-plan living space boasts a Jotul rotating, log burning stove, natural limestone floor and a high vaulted ceiling, which provides an abundance of natural light to the main living area. French doors provide direct access to a fully enclosed, South facing Courtyard Garden, which can also be accessed from the ground floor bedroom.

The accommodation offered is versatile, with a large bedroom and family bathroom, conveniently located on the ground floor, and a further double bedroom and spacious contemporary wet room on the first floor, which one could easily convert to a third double bedroom, if desired.

Solar Roof Panels feed a Thermal Store, which provides Hot Water and Underfloor Heating. The property also benefits from remote, web based Home Automation, Electric Boiler, Aircon and a Villavent Heat Recovery Ventilation System, providing fresh, filtered air to all living areas.
