The Smiddy, New Street, Dalry, Ayrshire, KA24

* HR link below *

Believed to date from the early 19th century, this unique home was formed in the 1960s from the village smiddy and it`s adjoining blacksmith`s cottage, creating a truly charming property of individual style and a deceptively spacious layout, complimented by delightful private gardens to the rear. Fully enclosed, there are south facing sitting areas, shed, lawn, beds, paved pathway, gravelled sitting area and, beyond a rear fence, a further area of wild garden sloping down to the river Garnock. There is an area of private ground to front and a single lock-up garage diagonally opposite on Smith Street. The Smiddy has been carefully maintained by the current owners for more than fifty years and is well presented, benefiting from modern gas central heating and double glazed windows.

The characterful accommodation extends to; entrance vestibule, broad, full length, L-shaped reception hall complete with deep store room and two cupboards, step down to an inner hall also with cupboard, spacious lounge viewing to the front, large farmhouse style dining kitchen with door to rear patio (combined gas and electric range plus the full range of white goods/appliances available), useful utility room, garden room with patio doors to terrace, downstairs bedroom (currently used as sitting room) and large, recently fitted bathroom with white four piece suite including separate shower. Stairs from the hall rise to an upper landing with storage off, a generous double bedroom with rear window, front bay window plus cupboard, and a cam-ceiled twin bedroom with rear velux and deep fitted storage.

The North Ayrshire town of Dalry stands on the west bank of the River Garnock and was traditionally on the easiest overland route from Glasgow to Ayrshire. It has benefited from having the A737 by-pass recently completed. It`s a quiet town with an attractive traditional town centre offering local shopping, cafes, bars and restaurants. There is a Co-Op and LIDL supermarket and nearby Kilbirnie has a Tesco superstore. Dalry makes an ideal commuting base with direct rail links to Glasgow in approximately 35 minutes and good road access both north via Paisley to the city and south to Ayrshire and the Clyde coast.
