In the 1990s, the village blacksmith’s forge was converted to create an additional reception room, now used as a dining room. The original chimney provides a walk-in cupboard with access, via a ladder, to a large attic room above.

Upstairs, the property offers three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from large built-in wardrobes, providing ample storage space. A well-appointed family bathroom is conveniently located adjacent to the principal bedroom.

Externally, the property offers an enclosed patio area with a brick‑built BBQ and a stone boiler house/store. A wrought‑iron gate opens into a mature, secluded, walled garden with established planting and a detached building, formerly the village fire station, now adapted into a characterful studio with power and a wood burner. A further gate provides access to The Walk.

To the front, there is private off‑street parking for two vehicles along with an electric vehicle charging point.
