This property offers a piece of the village’s history, converted from the former forge creating a unique and charming home. The house has been well maintained and improved by the current owner, it has a garden and two bedrooms offering a great opportunity with the benefit of having no onward chain.

From the lounge the kitchen has cream units with oven and electric 4 ring hob, there’s space for a washing machine and a fridge with a stable door leading out to the patio. The main bedroom, a double, has 2 built in wardrobes and shares a Jack and Jill style bathroom with the other bedroom (a single). The impressive shower room has a wet room style shower and vanity unit sink with brick walls giving a modern and stylish design. Also on the ground floor is an airing cupboard and downstairs WC. From the bedroom is loft access with a sturdy ladder up to a very useful boarded storage area.

Outside there is a lovely sun trap patio area with the original forge smelting pot utilised as an outdoor fire-pit.
