This original Grade 2 Listed wheelwrights forge is in an idyllic location within the hamlet of Pipe Ridware. Adjacent to the original church the cottage has an abundance of character with its original timber-framed construction still evident throughout. Historically extended, there is potential to create a self-contained annex ideal for an elderly relative or teenager. The present owners have sensitively refurbished the cottage paying great care and attention to its natural heritage and charm. In addition to the impressive living space, there are extensive outbuildings which lend themselves to a variety of uses. All this stands within a beautiful country garden surrounded by mature trees and offering complete privacy. The authentic charm and character of Wheelwrights House can only possibly be understood after an internal inspection, and an early viewing would be recommended.
