Set in a quiet Rowton hamlet, The Old Smithy is a period detached cottage offering flexible family living across generous floorspace. Character details include two cozy rooms with log-burning stoves, a breakfast kitchen, and French doors that connect the main living/dining room to extensive rear gardens. The plot is a major asset: large, well-established lawns, fruit trees, patios, greenhouse, potting shed and an integrated watering system ideal for gardeners and families who value outdoor space.
Practical benefits include a substantial barn/garage with electricity and rooflights, separate workshop/wood shed and useful ground-floor accommodation — a shower room and utility — that aid everyday convenience. The property has modern additions aimed at reducing running costs: roof-mounted solar panels with battery storage and low-carbon electric panel heaters, alongside double glazing and internal wall insulation in the solid-brick walls.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house is pre-1900 with stone/solid brick construction and shows a low current EPC rating despite the PV and battery system; main heating is electric room heaters rather than a mains gas central system. Council tax is described as expensive. The large garden and period fabric will require ongoing maintenance, and the site presents renovation potential for buyers wanting to improve energy performance or adapt spaces further.
Location-wise, the cottage balances tranquillity with access: primary schools within a few miles, Wellington station and supermarkets about five miles away, and the M54 approximately six miles for commuter routes. This suits families seeking countryside living with reasonable regional connectivity.
