The Old Smithy is one of the oldest houses in Rowton, a quaint village about five miles north of Wellington.
According to the Wellington History Group, the house - which was formerly called Oswald House - dates back to around the 17th century, and was once home to the village wheelwright and blacksmith. It has also been used as an undertaker and a timber merchant, with the timber yard having been where the Baxter memorial now stands on the green.But now, the stunning detached property is a charming three-bed home filled with everything you'd expect from one of the oldest properties in town.
Outside, the former blacksmith's stables has electricity points, lighting, windows and a Velux roof window, as well as housing a solar panel system with battery storage.The expansive and enviable back garden would make the perfect sanctuary for green-fingered owners, with an allotment-worthy selection of raised beds, greenhouses and a potting shed.The home is being listed by Mannleys Prestige and is on the market for £600,000.
