Some homes have character. The old furnace house has A story.
Standing proudly on Spring Wood Road, this extraordinary residence is a home quite unlike anything else on the market. Rich in history, beautifully presented and set within approximately one acre of land, its show-stopping Grade II Listed former ironworks blast furnace creates an unforgettable first impression before you have even stepped through the door. Add four superb bedrooms, three stables, a gated yard and interiors overflowing with exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings, limestone flooring and period charm, and you have a property that is not simply impressive - it is truly one of a kind.
From the moment you arrive, it is clear that this is somewhere incredibly special. Set along the attractive Spring Wood Road, the property makes an immediate impression with a substantial block-paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, complemented by a beautifully maintained lawn and mature hedge-lined boundaries.
And then there is the furnace.
An extraordinary piece of history standing proudly within the grounds, the Grade II Listed former ironworks blast furnace is an unforgettable feature and one that gives The Old Furnace House a character and identity that would be almost impossible to replicate. For anyone searching for a home with genuine heritage, architectural interest and a story behind it, this is exceptional.
Step inside the house itself and that sense of character continues throughout.
The beautiful lounge is warm, inviting and packed with period charm, centred around a striking exposed brick chimney breast housing a multi-fuel burner. Limestone tiled flooring flows beneath your feet and benefits from underfloor heating, bringing a wonderful level of comfort to this incredibly characterful room. Solid oak internal doors throughout the property further enhance the quality and traditional feel of the home.
The separate dining room is equally impressive, again featuring limestone flooring with underfloor heating and another superb exposed brick chimney breast with a multi-fuel burner, creating a fantastic space for family meals, entertaining and cosy evenings at home.
Opening from the lounge is the show-stopping kitchen and breakfast room, where traditional character and modern-day practicality come together beautifully. Bespoke cabinetry provides an abundance of storage, while a large central island and breakfast bar forms the natural heart of the room. A variety of integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher, while further limestone flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout.
Yet another magnificent exposed brick chimney breast provides a dramatic focal point within the kitchen, reinforcing the heritage of the property and giving the room a level of individuality rarely found elsewhere. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, making this an outstanding space for entertaining and allowing the interior to connect effortlessly with the outside.
A separate laundry room keeps the practical side of family life neatly tucked away, with fitted cabinetry concealing appliances, limestone flooring and underfloor heating continuing the quality found throughout the ground floor.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is an extremely useful shower room, beautifully finished with sleek tiling, a generous double shower enclosure and limestone flooring with underfloor heating - a superb addition to such a substantial family home.
Upstairs, the sense of space and character continues.
There are four excellent-sized bedrooms, each enhanced by beautiful vaulted ceilings and useful fitted wardrobe storage. The combination of generous proportions, natural light and character detailing makes the first floor every bit as impressive as the ground floor.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, complete with a large double shower enclosure, vanity storage and limestone tiled flooring.
The family bathroom is another gorgeous space, featuring the same timeless limestone flooring together with a freestanding bathtub and separate double shower enclosure - a wonderful balance of traditional styling and everyday practicality.
Outside, The Old Furnace House becomes even more exceptional.
Immediately adjoining the rear of the property is a substantial Indian stone paved patio, providing a fantastic low-maintenance space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing throughout the warmer months.
Beyond the formal garden, the property extends to approximately one acre of land, offering an incredibly rare amount of outdoor space.
For equestrian buyers in particular, the property has even more to offer, with three 12ft x 12ft stables, a gated concrete yard and a separate storage yard Whether required for horses, storage, hobbies or simply the enjoyment of additional land, the versatility here is outstanding.
And dominating the setting is, of course, the extraordinary historic furnace itself - an imposing and fascinating reminder of the area's industrial past and a feature that makes this home utterly unique.
The Old Furnace House is not simply somewhere to live; it is a piece of history. Exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings, solid oak doors, multiple chimney breasts, limestone floors and roaring multi-fuel burners sit effortlessly alongside bespoke cabinetry, underfloor heating and beautifully presented modern accommodation.
Add approximately an acre of land, substantial parking, equestrian facilities and the magnificent Grade II Listed blast furnace, and you have a home of a calibre and individuality that very rarely comes to the market.
A genuinely extraordinary property that needs to be experienced in person to fully appreciate its history, scale, character and setting.
