The accommodation includes principal lounge, formal dining room, cosy snug opening to a stylish kitchen with conservatory beyond. To the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The paddock with its three stables lay beyond the formal gardens. Blacksmiths Cottage – timeless. Understood to date back to 1832 with later additions, Blacksmiths Cottage now combines traditional charm with modern efficiency to provide a stunning four bedroom detached family home with an additional one and a half acre (approx.) grassed paddock.
Situated in the sought after commuter “marsh” village of Fulstow with its vibrant village hall, public house and connections to the grammar schools at Louth, Alford and Caistor the location complements this family friendly home.
The retention of ledge and braced sneck doors, beamed ceilings in some of the rooms and brick built fireplaces to the snug and dining room is complemented by the sleek contemporary units to the kitchen, double glazed conservatory and modern oil fired central heating system to create a home of relaxed welcome and comfort. The distinctive two storey hexagonal frontage allows for a superb welcome and provides access, via the traditionally appointed dining room, to the 17’5 multi aspect principal lounge with its fine carved mahogany fireplace. The intimate snug with warming, cast iron stove opens to the well appointed kitchen to form the relaxed heart of the home and the adjoining conservatory enjoys views across the lawned gardens towards to the paddock.
The distinctive frontage also provides for a striking first floor guest bedroom with dressing area and the master suite including a double bedroom with pippy oak furniture and its own shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by an excellent bathroom with a traditional double ended bath and separate shower enclosure.
Blacksmiths Cottage is set back beyond extensive reception parking and the screened side garden with its broad lawns, mature shrub beds and summerhouse is ideally suited to family games and al fresco entertaining. The fenced paddock with its three timber stables completes the property.
