Summary - The Old Smithy, Penybontfawr, OSWESTRY SY10 0NT
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Charming three-bed village home with immediate move-in potential.
Chain-free detached former smithy with character features
This detached former smithy offers character living in the heart of Penybontfawr, arranged over two floors and extending to about 908 sq ft. The sitting room centres on a newly fitted log burner, exposed beams and timber details that give genuine cottage charm. Chain-free sale and three bedrooms make it a realistic first home or village retreat.
Practical essentials are straightforward: a breakfast kitchen, refitted shower room and double glazing throughout. The footprint is compact with only a very small rear courtyard rather than a garden, so outdoor maintenance is minimal but limited for growing space or large gatherings. Oil-fired central heating serves the house; the EPC rating is F and some energy upgrades will be needed to improve efficiency and running costs.
The property sits on a village street with nearby local amenities and low crime, but take note of practical constraints: there is no mobile signal on site, broadband speeds are average, and the wider area registers as very deprived. The interior has bespoke, dated fittings in places and offers clear potential for modernisation or cosmetic updating to suit personal taste.
Overall, this is a compact, characterful detached cottage for buyers who prioritise village location and period features over outdoor space and immediate energy efficiency. Its chain-free status and ready-to-live-in condition make it attractive to first-time buyers or investors seeking a small holiday let, subject to any required improvements.
