House For Sale £650,000
Ewemove - This home is a real surprise... If you are looking for generous space inside and out, flexible living arrangements and open plan living - this is certainly a must look. Original features and modern living blended perfectly, wonderful views a double garage and oodles of parking. Fantastic!
Located at the heart of the village The Smithy, once a tiny cottage, has been rebuilt and extended over time, using the original and reclaimed bricks and materials to produce this fantastic family home on approximately a third of an acre of land. Last majorly refurbished and extended in 2017, this home has been decorated and fitted out to the highest standards, including being re-wired and having a new heating system installed.
The double garage has been built with converting into an annex in mind, if needed, and has an added conservatory currently used as a studio.
With ample family life to be enjoyed in the village including the local pub and the recreation ground as well as various clubs and activities for young and old, this is the perfect spot to base the family.
Approaching the home through the large wooden gate, and down the private drive that allows parking in front of the house, before opens up on the right in front of the double garage providing ample parking for all the family and guests.
You would be mistaken for thinking you had come to the wrong house as the exterior of this home looks small compared to the space there actually is inside.
To the back of the home, a large area of lawn borders the river bank which has been enclosed with fencing and lights, and a built up decked veranda sits outside the sitting room and dining room, providing a fabulous entertainment space and magnificent views. Wow!
Entering straight into the living room at the front of the home, an open staircase to the right leads up to the first floor. A spacious open room with ample space to enter the room take off shoes and coats before reaching the living area. The living area with its beamed ceiling easily accommodates a couple of large sofas, whilst the original Smithy's cast iron bread oven, provides a focal point to the room.
To the back of this room a door opens into the living kitchen area, and to the left a door leads into the downstairs sleeping accommodation, which was once where the original Smithy's house stood.
The sleeping accommodation is made up of two double bedrooms, the first along the hall a good size room overlooking the front of the home - a great extra bedroom downstairs or perhaps dressing room to the main double or sitting room if using this area as a bedsit. The main bedroom has a lovely cosy comforting feel despite its generous size. A large en-suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower with ample space to get dressed, gives this room a little luxury.
The kitchen living space is divided into 4 with a utility area and downstairs loo on the left followed by a seating area and door into the sitting room - a lovely area to be with the rest of the family whilst you chill or the kids watch t.v. On the right of the area, a generous kitchen space complete with island followed by the dining area which is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar. This kitchen is every cooks dream and provides a fantastic room to entertain from, but also a wonderful family area all together. At the back of the dining area stable doors open onto the decking doubling the room you have to entertain, eat, or just enjoy the outdoors.
The sitting room is a handy completely separate room to the rest of the downstairs, accessed from the kitchen. Again a great spacious room with patio doors opening onto the decking - fabulous views! A lovely room for an extra sitting room, music or hobby room and even an occasional extra bedroom ...
Upstairs the landing is actually another generous sitting area with a log burner to keep it all cosy and warm. 3 double bedrooms make this a really flexible space - childrens part of the house, family bedrooms with elderly relatives downstairs... Depends on your lifestyle and family make up.
The first bedroom behind the sitting area is a good double with en-suite shower room, plenty of space here for all your bedroom furniture - perfect main bedroom, teens or young adults room.
To the right of the sitting area, a smaller seating space and hall. First off the hall is another great size double bedroom, followed by the family bathroom and then the last of the double bedrooms. Theses are great rooms for any age whether they be child or adult, with ample room for beds, toys and furniture.
This is such a flexible home and would suit a number of different family set-ups. Ideal for those that may have elderly or limited physical ability, living with them, or perhaps a grown up child that needs their own space. Whether entertaining is your thing or just bringing up the family... This is an idyllic location with endless possibilities.
