Summary - The Old Smithy, Ffrith LL11 5HT
3 bed 2 bath House
Extensive grounds and versatile outbuildings for rural living and hobby farming.
Detached former blacksmith’s cottage with strong period character
Set on just over an acre in peaceful Ffrith, The Old Smithy is a rare, detached period cottage offering extensive outdoor space and flexible living. Formerly a blacksmith’s forge, the house retains exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and character details that create an evocative rural home. A large garden, productive allotment area, and a paddock provide lifestyle potential for equestrian use, smallholding or garden projects.
Internally the layout is versatile: multiple reception rooms, a garden room with full-height glazing, a ground-floor room with en suite (ideal as a guest room or home office), and two double bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen combines traditional units with modern appliances and an oil-fired Rayburn. Broadband speeds are good despite the rural setting, and there is off-street parking and a sweeping gravel drive.
There are important practical considerations to note. The EPC is rated E and heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the property may require further energy-efficiency works. The stable block is partially renovated but will need completion or conversion work to become habitable. Mobile phone signal is reported as none and council tax sits in a high band, reflecting running costs. These factors are balanced by large plot size, freehold tenure and low flood risk.
