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.
