Set within the heart of Bucknell and backing onto the Shropshire Hills, Ye Old Smithy is a link‑detached cottage that suits family life and countryside lovers. The house offers a practical four‑bedroom layout across two floors, a well‑proportioned living room with patio access, dining hall, and a kitchen/breakfast room that opens to a lawned cottage garden. Off‑street parking and a decent plot add day‑to‑day convenience in a central village location.
The property blends character details — an oak porch and feature fireplaces — with practical upgrades such as double glazing (installed post‑2002) and an LPG‑fired boiler and radiators. Views from the main bedroom and garden look out over rolling countryside, while local amenities including shop, petrol station, butcher, pub and a primary school are all within easy reach. Rail links connect Bucknell to Shrewsbury and beyond, making journeys straightforward.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the home was constructed c.1967–1975 so while it has period charm it is not an older stone farmhouse; it has a medium flood risk rating for the area and runs on LPG heating. Broadband speeds are average in the village, and the house may benefit from routine updating or cosmetic refreshes to suit modern tastes. Council tax is band C, and the property is sold freehold.
Overall this is a well‑presented family cottage in a peaceful village setting, offering comfortable living space, garden and parking with strong access to outdoor amenities and transport. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking village convenience combined with countryside views, and to those comfortable managing the noted flood and service considerations.
