Description
The Old Blacksmith's Arms is a unique property located in the center of a village, comprising a spacious house, two cottages, and a plot of land totaling around half an acre. The house, formerly a bed and breakfast and a blacksmith's shop, has been modernized while retaining its original charm, including deep stone walls, beamed ceilings, and a pantile roof. The property features an L-shaped hallway, reception rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom on the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor. The house also has a driveway, outbuildings, and a large garden with a pond, lawns, and borders. The two cottages, Anvil Cottage and Blacksmith's Cottage, were developed in 2003 and have been let out as holiday lets, but can be sold as a going concern with all contents and forward bookings. The property also has planning permission for the construction of two new semi-detached dwellings on the allotment garden, subject to the reconfiguration of the site and local occupancy restrictions. Overall, the Old Blacksmith's Arms offers a unique opportunity for a change of lifestyle with a supplementary income, or for further development and expansion.
