A Magical 5 Bedroom Detached Family Home Where Charm, And Modern Living Unite. Massive Scope For LIV

A substantial detached five-bedroom home with outbuildings, land and exceptional live/work potential

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Newtown, Old Smithy is a rare detached family home offering generous accommodation, historic character and outstanding flexibility. With double-storey barns, mature gardens and an apple orchard, this is a property that suits families, entrepreneurs and buyers seeking space to live and work in one place.

The accommodation is both practical and full of warmth. Two spacious reception rooms provide flexible living, one with a more modern feel, the other rich in traditional character, ideal for family life, entertaining or home working.

At the heart of the house sits a fully fitted kitchen combining modern convenience with period features, including exposed beams, original stonework and a character stove, creating a welcoming space for everyday living and hosting.

Upstairs, the property offers five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom forms part of a larger bedroom wing and includes an en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are bright and adaptable, suitable for children, guests, home offices or hobbies.

Outside, the grounds are a real highlight. From a sunny patio area, the gardens extend into two private, established garden spaces and onward to an apple orchard, offering privacy, space and a strong connection to the surrounding countryside.

The double-storey barns and additional outbuildings (including the original smithy, not listed) offer significant scope for a range of uses, including workshops, studios, storage, or potential live/work accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Old Smithy is well positioned between Ilminster, Chard and Taunton, providing convenient access to schools, shops, amenities and transport links.

This is a substantial and characterful home with genuine potential, rarely available in such a flexible and well-connected rural location.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
