Smithy Lane, New Luce

7 Smithy Lane is one of the most individual, eye-catching properties in the pretty, unspoilt village of ‘New Luce’. The property is a striking one-bedroom, semi-detached cottage bungalow. This captivating property offers multiple options: as a home set out on one level, a holiday retreat to get away from the ‘hustle and bustle’, or a first-class holiday rental home for investment income.

Displaying a fresh quintessential cottage frontage, the house offers some beautiful design features from a bygone era, blended beautifully with modern convenience. The flexible and versatile accommodation, formed over a single-storey layout, offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, maximising free-flowing living space.

The lounge is relaxed and welcoming, and the log burner promises cosy evenings spent enjoying the warmth of the fire and flickering candlelight. The ‘heart’ of the home is the open-plan kitchen/diner, which has been beautifully fitted to include an excellent range of floor and wall-mounted units in a pastel shade, providing a fashionable and efficient workspace. It further benefits from an integrated oven and hob, with ample space for a freestanding dishwasher, fridge and washing machine, making this the ideal kitchen for any chef. There is also ample room for a table and chairs for more relaxed dining and social occasions with friends and family.

The generous double bedroom is spacious and offers ample room for an oversized bed and still room for freestanding furniture. The tiled bathroom is bright and fresh with an electric shower inside a quadrant shower enclosure.

The property benefits from a large cottage-style front garden with off-street parking. The garden provides the ideal spot for lazy summer’s days, making this a secluded haven. The specifications of this lovely home also include double glazing, all-electric heating, an air-source heat pump, Insulation and solar panels with a battery. Effectively, the home runs very efficiently and actually generates a surplus of energy.
