Property Smithy Cottage is a gloriously characterful semi detached cottage which is steeped in history. Overlooking a beautiful medieval church in the rural village of Mucklestone, this is a highly desirable opportunity not to be missed! Originally dating back to the 16th Century the property has been tastefully updated in more recent years into a truly wonderful and spacious home which is tastefully presented in a lovely period style throughout. Positioned on a generous plot with plentiful gardens and also boasting a fabulous detached double garage with an annex above, Smithy Cottage offers all of the living and outside space that you will ever need! As you enter the property you will find a front porch which leads to the entrance hall, lounge, dining kitchen, laundry & boiler room/rear hallway and cloakroom/wc. Moving onto the first floor off the landing area are three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
Externally as you exit the property from the rear you will find attractively rustic sandstone walls with steps that lead to the front garden which has beautifully stocked flower beds, a stone outbuilding (which was previously a pig sty) and a manicured lawn with a range of mature trees. Another set of steps lead to the extensive gardens which include a large lawned area to the side with a nursery orchard and stone patio area. Furthermore there is the superb detached double garage with an annex above which provides an excellent space which would make the perfect office/hobby room with a modern shower room off. There is masses of parking space as you enter the gated entrance and a further parking space to the side of the detached garage.
