Sellers have found their next home! A truly wonderful historic cottage set in
the centre of Bathford village, brimming with character features but finished
to a superb modern standard and additionally, has great ceiling height
throughout. The stories the walls could tell you if they could talk would be
amazing. As soon as you walk through the front door, the standard of finish is
evident and continues throughout from the recently fitted UPVC Sash windows to
the hidden lighting details. The hallway is spacious enough for shoe and coat
areas but also benefits from a large cupboard and a modern downstairs
cloakroom. The beautiful floor tiling extends through to the kitchen, but not
forgetting to retain the exposed stone step into the space. The fabulous,
vaulted kitchen/diner is flooded with light from the large Velux windows but
also the full - width Bi - fold doors to the rear. A sympathetically chosen
Shaker - style range of units is topped off with a deep wood worktop. Modern
integrated appliances include the dishwasher and washing machine with space
for a large American - style fridge/freezer and also a generous family - sized
dining table. Underfloor heating warms your toes in this area. The Bi - fold
doors open out onto a private garden space which is perfect for entertaining.
Surrounded by the original stone wall, there is enough space for outside
dining or seating and the essential BBQ and Pizza oven. The perfect outdoor
extension to the fabulous kitchen. If you should so wish, there is planning in
place to extend and create a utility room.
Walking through to the Living room, the large Bath Stone fireplace immediately
grabs your attention. The arched stone log store and inset wood burner
immediately make this the perfect place to relax. With plenty of room for a
couple of sofas and storage, this is a perfect space for all the family.
However, again the planning permission in place would allow you to extend from
this room and create an additional large bedroom/ playroom and study on the
ground floor. The option is there should you decide to take it up.
On the first floor is the main bedroom which has a lovely light feel from the
2 windows, lots of storage space and a built - in wardrobe. The room is also
served by the large family bathroom at the end of the landing, where automatic
low - level lights guide you at night. The bathroom features a modern roll - top
bath, and a wide shower cubicle, modern details such as inset speakers and
heated towel rail but also the character of the period - style radiator.
Beautiful marble tiling is set off by the white walls and practicality is
added with a vanity unit for storage. Onto the second floor, and 2 further
double bedrooms are located here. The first has a wonderful old Victorian
fireplace and space for both sleeping and storage. Both a Velux window and
side window bring in lots of light and make this a really attractive room. The
3rd bedroom could be a double but is best showcased currently as a generous
single bedroom. The wonderful beams that are exposed on this floor add tons of
character but without feeling restricted at all. In addition at this level,
there is also the low - level automatic lighting leading you to the modern
shower room, which is finished in the same high - end finish as the main
bathroom.
Outside, there are a variety of garden spaces in addition to the
kitchen/entertaining space and wrap around the property back towards the gate
from the parking area which is just off to the side of quiet Church Street. A
few wide and well - designed steps up from the parking area bring you up onto
the pathway which winds past the first area for garden storage and pot plants.
Set on the side is the first area of lawn alongside a pretty stone wall
intertwined with Wisteria and Jasmine. A perfect place for a bench and a glass
of something nice at the end of the day. The excellent larger lawn area then
extends towards the front, yet is given privacy by mature trees and shrubs and
the fact that the space is elevated above the footpath below. Recently
improved walling and a rejuvenated rockery garden frame the garden and a lower
section topped with bark offers a great space for the kids and some chickens.
Overall a great selection of different areas for play, entertainment, or
relaxation.
Bathford village is one of the most sought - after Bath villages, with its
excellent primary school, village events, and local amenities which include a
local community - run shop and post office with a small cafe area just a few
steps away from this cottage. Additionally, the Bathford club and local pub
are within walking distance, along with the historic church, hall, and active
community. The village benefits from an active rugby and cricket club with
large playing fields and a children's park. Countryside walks are in abundance
in the areas which include the Browns Folly nature reserve and canal side
walks over to Bathampton. The bus service is frequent (around every 20
minutes) into Bath and the road access to the M4 at J18 is straightforward
being on the right side of Bath for easy access. Overall a great village
community with all the benefits of Bath city centre easily accessible.
All main services are connected.
Full planning for 2 single - story extensions is in place and can be viewed on
the banes council planning website.
