Description

Blacksmith Cottage is a delightful, unlisted, period cottage in the heart of the conservation area of Topsham. Arranged over three floors and updated in recent years, including a new roof to the main house, the property retains a host of period features. The living accommodation has been opened up creating a spacious, dual aspect sitting room enjoying exposed timbers and a brick fireplace with inset wood burner and in turn leads through to a dining room.
To the rear is a lovely 'cottage style' kitchen featuring an integrated washing machine, dishwasher, space for fridge freezer* plus a four-ring gas hob and high-level oven & grill. Sliding patio doors lead out to the garden.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a shower room. The second floor is occupied by the principal bedroom with a modern ensuite bathroom.
To the rear is a beautifully tranquil yet low maintenance south-west facing courtyard garden, with a garden room currently used as a home office/gym. There is the possibility to convert the garden room and store into a self-contained annex with shower room. The current vendors advise they have the drawings for this which we understand have been through pre-approval with no comments. In addition, there is off-road parking for two cars. Internal viewing highly recommended to appreciate the property in its entirety.
