Cottage for sale in Bath BA2, 4 Bedroom

An idyllic four double bedroom mid-terrace cottage in the highly desired village of South Stoke. Very nicely presented and retaining period features throughout. Set in an elevated rural location with beautiful panoramic countryside views.

Description

Formerly two cottages that in recent times have been combined to create a good size four bedroom home. You enter this property into a small hallway which provides access to the sitting room, kitchen diner and stairs to first floor. The sitting room with its southerly aspect is a naturally light and spacious room with stripped wooden floor and a feature fireplace with Bath stone surround. The kitchen diner makes a great open plan dining/entertaining space and has a lovely central feature Bath stone fireplace. The kitchen area leads through to a useful utility room with space for appliances. Further from here you find a shower room with WC. When the two cottages were combined both stairs cases were retained and so you have access to the first floor from the hallway or the sitting room. The first floor landing, accessed via the hallway stairs, leads to bedrooms one, two, three and the bathroom. All three bedrooms are situated to the front aspect and provide beautiful far reaching countryside views. A door from bedroom one leads into a study room which then provides passage through to bedroom four to the rear aspect. Stairs from here take you back down to the sitting room. Externally a path to the front of the property leads you to the gardens no more than 10m away. Having been two properties the home has the benefit of both gardens which now provide a very nice outside space. The main larger garden is laid to lawn with established beds, it provides a concrete laid seating area with glorious views and a very useful stone built home office with power and light. Walking through to the next garden it is laid to lawn and leads down to the road at the rear. This is one area that could potentially provide off-street parking for two cars.

Location

South Stoke is somewhat of a hidden gem being a small picturesque village situated on the southern fringes of the city of Bath. It is located 2 miles (3 km) south of the city. The village is in a designated Conservation Area and the buildings are mainly built with cream oolitic limestone. There are no less than 27 listed structures in and around the immediate village, which has retained much of its original character and historic appeal. The village has most recently been made famous by the South Stoke villager’s successful campaign to buy back their beloved Pack Horse pub. Through community funding and national/international press coverage the pub re-opened at the beginning of the year and the result is a true testament to everyone’s efforts. A thriving and friendly village pub which is a must see should you visit the area. The local church is situated centrally in the village and dedicated to St James it dates from the 12th century. Although the village has a very rural secluded feeling it is also very usefully only 1/3 mile to the nearest bus stop to the city and public house and ½ mile to the nearest local supermarket and petrol station. You also have Combe Down village nearby with its abundance of amenities, shops and all levels of schooling. The village provides views over the surrounding countryside and is the starting point for many country walks. A popular route is to visit other villages and their pubs in the area, such as Combe Hay and Midford, via the now disused Somerset Coal Canal. You may also like to visit the nearby South Stoke Millennium Viewpoint which is a stone seated beauty spot providing far reaching views towards the Westbury White Horse hill and beyond.
