BRIEF DESCRIPTION Old Smithy is a traditional Cottage that's been updated and modernised to offer you the Open Plan Kitchen Living space that's just perfect for modern family life!

Though the front door is to the side of the property and opens to the Hallway, you'll probably park on the driveway and walk through the Courtyard Garden and enter the property through the door into the Sitting Room. This lovely room is open to the eaves and is a really flexible space having been used as a reception hall, a dining room and even as a yoga studio! To your left is the ground floor Bathroom and large Dining/TV Room, and stairs lead up to the mezzanine study area and into Bedroom Four which is another flexible space and would make a great home office as well as a bedroom.

To your right the Living Room opens through to the large Dining Kitchen which is also open to the eaves with three Velux windows helping to flood this space with light. It has an excellent range of kitchen units with integrated double oven with hob and extractor fan over, fridge freezer and two dishwashers. There's bi-folding corner windows and a smart tiled floor that runs through to the generous Utility which has a sink, and space for a washing machine and further fridge freezer.

A door from the Dining Kitchen opens to the Inner Hall which has stairs up to the first floor. To your right is the Guest Bedroom with En Suite Shower Room. To your left is the Lounge which oozes character, with feature beams and an inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove (not tested) and off the Lounge is Bedroom Five which has also been used as a play room.

To the first floor are Three Bedrooms and a stylish Bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. The Principal Bedroom is a large double room with beams to the ceiling and feature exposed brickwork. Bedroom Two is another generous double room and Bedroom Five is a single room currently used as a Dressing Room.

The One Bedroom Annex has a Living Room, Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom and it's own independent heat-source heating. It's currently used as storage and there is a restriction on the property that doesn't allow the annex to be sold separately to the main house.

Please note that the photos on this listing are from when the Vendors lived at the property. It has been rented out for twelve months and is currently tenanted, with vacant possession on completion.

The outside space here offers you a lawned front Garden, landscaped Courtyard Garden with further lawned area and a gravelled parking area for 2-3 cars.

This lovely property really does need to be viewed to appreciate the flexible space it offers - so please call the team at our Market Drayton office to arrange your viewing.
