Set in the heart of Neen Sollars, The Old Smithy is a handsome Grade II listed timber-framed cottage offering authentic period character and generous living space. A large sitting room with an imposing inglenook and extensive exposed timbers gives immediate historic charm, while a separate dining room, breakfast room and useful study/potential third bedroom create flexible family accommodation.
The property sits on mature, well-established grounds with an enclosed front lawn, rear lawn and small terrace. A gravel drive leads to a single garage with workshop and good vehicle hardstanding — practical assets for everyday life in a rural village. The cottage faces south, benefitting from a sunny aspect and village views including the nearby church.
This house is sold chain-free but requires renovation in places; fixtures and finishes are dated and some updating is needed to meet contemporary standards. Its Grade II listed status will restrict structural alterations and may complicate refurbishment, so buyers should factor specialist consents and potentially higher conservation costs into their plans.
For families the location is convenient: Cleobury Mortimer (schools and shops) is three miles away, larger centres and rail links at Ludlow and Kidderminster are within reasonable driving distance, and local village amenities include a pub, church and hall. Broadband speeds are reported as fast, while mobile signal is average — typical for a remoter rural setting.
