A cracking period village cottage with extensive, flexible living space. 3 or 4 Bedrooms plus Study, lounge plus dining room along with both shower and bathroom. PV panels with significant FIT p/kwh and air source heat pump provide radiators and water. There is also a garage, smaller than standard, but very useful found at the rear plus additional off road parking. Freshly refurbished and END OF CHAIN.

Ye Old Smithy (formerly known as West View) is a remarkable village property with a number of surprises. Now vacant and extensively refurbished following a period or rental, this is an End of Chain purchase. The original cottage sits to the front but beyond lies an extensive single storey section of accommodation including small garage. Windows are double glazed and a AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP and PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS serve to help make this period property as efficient and climate friendly as possible. It is worth noting the current vendors contract with Eon Next provides their PV investment with a return of 74.37p/kwh which these days is remarkably high. The accommodation is laid out to provide flexibility of use depending on requirements. The front section includes a welcoming entrance hall space along with kitchen, dining room (with inglenook) plus a third space suitable for a Study. Upstairs within this two storey section are two bedrooms, storage and bathroom. Beyond, within the single storey space is a lovely large and tall main reception room with good natural light plus a two part hall, Dressing Room or Bedroom option, Shower Room and at the rear, a large principal bedroom. The shape of the cottage creates a courtyard garden, well paved and walled with access to a front parking space plus door into and out of the attached garage space. The garage could possibly take a small car and certainly motor and push bikes.

Location

Ye Olde Smithy sits just off the village through road adjacent to the Primary School and stretches back a surprising distance from the front where at the rear, a small garage building can be found. This 'heart of the village' setting will put the new owners at the centre of village life of which Occold is very proud. The village supports a thriving modern Village Hall/Community Centre along with the aforementioned Primary School feeding to Hartismere High, The Beaconsfield Arms pub, Parish Church and Bus Routes. The road directly outside only leads through to Redlingfield one way and a No Through Road (Bulls Hall Road) save for farmtracks and footpaths. Eye is only a couple of miles away with everyday facilities and the area is wonderfully central for those needing to access the wider region by road or rail.
