The Old Smithy is a spacious period property with later additions, with views across the open countryside that wrap around it. The property sits in a rural position, yet it is conveniently located for road and rail access. It has south facing gardens and grounds and features include leaded windows, an oak staircase and oak panelled doors.

The property offers potential to increase the living space if required, through conversion of the attached two stables and the top floor walk-in loft, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents.

The front door is set under a feature canopy porch that opens to the entrance hall with a door to a ground floor shower room.

The exceptionally large, triple aspect drawing/dining room has French doors opening to the terrace and at each end of the room are fireplaces, one of which is an open working fireplace and the other houses a Scandinavian wood burning stove. There is also a single door opening to a veranda in front of the attached two stables.

The large fitted kitchen/family room has Corian worktops, a Belfast sink, a four oven oil-fired AGA set in an Inglenook fireplace and an integrated dishwasher. It has a quarry tiled floor, French doors opening to the terrace and a feature fireplace.

From the kitchen is an opening to an inner hall off which is the pantry, boot room with a rear entrance door and the large fitted utility room. The utility room also has a rear entrance door, a Belfast sink and space for various freestanding appliances including a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.

The inner hall has German oak wood flooring that continues through to the light and airy garden room, which the vendors added in 2008. It has a picture window, vaulted ceiling, two electric powered Velux windows, a prominent freestanding Scandinavian wood burning stove and two sets of French doors opening to the terrace and garden.

On the first floor is a split-level study landing, the principal dual aspect bedroom with an en suite bathroom and two further double bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

On the top floor is a double bedroom with an en suite WC and from the landing is also a door to a large walk-in attic.

There is paved parking for several cars in front of the large outbuilding that is subdivided into a large L-shaped garage, housing a sauna (available by separate negotiation) and two stores. Further outbuildings include two attached stables that can be accessed from either end.

The private south facing gardens have been arranged into three compartments, including the immediate lawn with a paved terrace adjacent to the house and a lower paved and pebbled terrace, as well as a hot tub (available by separate negotiation). Beyond the immediate garden is a more informal lawned garden comprising a range of mature trees and six raised beds. Beyond the informal garden and set behind a tall hedge is a tennis court that is in need of upgrading.

Throughout the gardens are a range of mature trees, evergreen and perennial plants, including bluebells and daffodils, which provide all-year round interest and colour.

The paddock extends to approximately 1.85 acres and has access from the paved drive to The Old Smithy and also from the road. It has a water supply and is enclosed by post and wire fencing. A public footpath crosses the drive and paddock; further details are available on request.
