Eaton Smithy is a remarkable property located in the heart of Eaton, a charming village in Cheshire. Originally a blacksmith’s forge, this historic home boasts original features including striking Grade-II listed sandstone walls and iconic elements from its past like the smithy sign and anvil in the garden. The property sits on a generous plot, accessed through electric gates, offering privacy amidst beautifully landscaped gardens divided into three distinct areas. The large L-shaped detached garage presents substantial potential for conversion or development (subject to planning permission), making it an excellent investment opportunity.
Inside, the unique character of Eaton Smithy is apparent with high ceilings adorned with exposed beams and terracotta tiles throughout the spacious kitchen. The open plan living and dining area allows for versatile family living while maintaining an airy feel. A cozy slate hearth creates an inviting atmosphere perfect for a log burner, enhancing its appeal further.
The property features two well-sized double bedrooms along with a versatile upper room that currently functions as a study but could serve various purposes. The bathrooms are functional yet could benefit from modernisation.
Outside, the gardens offer serene spaces for relaxation or entertainment, featuring established hedging for privacy. A meticulously restored well adds to the historical charm of this home, which has been well-maintained but presents ample scope for refurbishment to maximise its potential as either a family residence or vacation rental. With community spirit thriving in this village known as one of ‘Best Kept Villages,’ Eaton Smithy harmoniously blends character and opportunity.
