About this listing

Holters are delighted to present The Smithy, a remarkable timber-framed cottage dating back to 1670, tucked into the heart of Bettws Cedewain. Sympathetically restored and meticulously improved over recent years, this beautiful home combines centuries of history with the comfort and reassurance of extensive modern upgrades, and is offered to the market with no onward chain. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, where exposed beams and original timber framing create a home rich in warmth and authenticity. The sitting room is an inviting space centred on a wood-burning stove, with the staircase rising to the first floor. From here, the accommodation flows into the equally characterful dining room, where the exposed studwork and beamed ceiling take centre stage. Beyond lies the kitchen, bright, welcoming and centred around an AGA, with space for everyday dining, while a stylish wet room completes the ground floor. Upstairs are three charming bedrooms, each retaining the cottage's period appeal through exposed beams and sloping ceilings, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Behind the scenes, an exceptional programme of improvements has created a home that is as practical as it is beautiful. Significant works include stabilising the bank and excavating the watercourse, alongside the installation of a new kitchen and downstairs wet room, replacement windows and door, new flooring throughout, a fully renewed heating system with new boiler and oil tank, and replacement drainage. Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to complement the idyllic setting. A newly laid driveway provides generous parking, while renewed fencing and a beech hedge frame the grounds beautifully. The gardens wrap around the cottage before extending across the bridge to a further lawn beyond, creating far more outdoor space than first meets the eye. A substantial detached outbuilding adds exceptional versatility. Fitted with a solid floor, power and lighting, it offers excellent potential as a workshop, studio, hobby space or extensive storage. Completing the property is a delightful shepherd's hut, thoughtfully equipped with a wood-burning stove, kitchenette and shower room. Opening onto its own private deck beside the water, it offers an idyllic retreat for guests, a peaceful home office or simply somewhere to escape and unwind. The Smithy is a home that wears its history with pride while offering the peace of mind that comes from careful, considered renovation. Beautifully restored, wonderfully versatile and set within one of Montgomeryshire's most appealing villages, it presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of a 17th-century cottage without compromising on modern comfort.
