Description
Offered Chain!

Old Smithy Cottages is a remarkable historic home with origins dating back to the 14th century, believed to be the oldest inhabited property in the county, and among the oldest in England. Originally a row of workers' cottages, it now offers flexible accommodation with four reception rooms, a large dining kitchen, five bedrooms, and two/three bath/shower rooms. Unusually for a property of its age and central village location, it includes gated driveway parking, a garage, and generous garden space, extending to just over 0.2 acres.

A ledged front door from Dean Street opens into a small hall with access to two main living rooms.
The lounge features a brick fireplace with cast-iron stove, ceiling beam, wall light wiring, and bespoke shelving with a hidden door to the dining room, which has windows on three sides and a carved decorative fireplace.
The sitting room includes an Inglenook-style painted brick fireplace with quarry-tiled hearth and bench seating, plus a ceiling beam and lighting points. The family room offers a Victorian-style open fireplace with tiled hearth and slips, exposed timberwork, a fitted cupboard with display recess, and wall light wiring.

Old Smithy Cottage has a timbered front facing Dean Street, though everyday access is usually from the rear. Remote or phone-controlled solid oak gates with a pedestrian gate open to a brick-set courtyard drive, providing secure and private parking for several vehicles. A gate leads to the part-walled rear garden, with a brick terrace for outdoor dining, a shaped lawn with mature planting, and a south-westerly aspect. Two garden stores and a brick-and-tile garage complete the setting.
