A charming period cottage in the very heart of this popular and much sought
after Chew Valley village.
Description
A delightful village home is believed to date to circa 1840 and is wonderful
property for those seeking to be close to all village amenities and perfectly
placed for country living with both Bath and Bristol within easy reach. The
owners have very much enjoyed that they can take a footpath directly from the
end of Mead Lane avoiding the road, to the local primary school, the village
church and tennis club. Blagdon Lake can be reached in the same way,
considered by many to be the jewel in the crown of the Chew Valley, all of
which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Whilst the property retains character, such as the fine inglenook fireplace in
the living room, it has the benefit of not being listed thus allowing for
modern touches to be added such as the highly efficient solar panels making a
significant contribution to the running costs of the home. The house benefits
from two modern bathrooms, one of which is en suite to the ground floor
bedroom, which could work well for a dependent relative or independent
teenager. The good size entrance hall is currently used as a music room with
an upright piano on one wall but could be equally well used as a study with a
desk currently placed to enjoy a lovely outlook across the rear garden. The
stylish kitchen has been comprehensively refitted to include a generous array
of smart build in storage cabinets and appliances with plenty of space for
dining with family and friends. A doorway from the rear of the kitchen leads
past the downstairs cloakroom/utility to a good size garage. The vendors also
park a vehicle on the lane to the front of the house. A level, lawned garden
to the rear enjoys a good sense of privacy and is walled on all sides
providing safe enclosure for those with young children or pets.
