Description

Dating back to the 17th century, Wayside Cottage is a stunning detached house with surprisingly large rooms and character features at every turn. The property is set in a large plot with a sizeable garden and ample off-street parking.
Believed to have originally been two cottages, Wayside Cottage has a unique floor plan including two staircases. The accommodation downstairs comprises a large sitting room and dining room (both with an inglenook fireplace), playroom/reception room with a log burner, kitchen, utility and downstairs shower room. Oak flooring runs throughout the downstairs.
Upstairs you will find three well proportioned bedrooms accessed via either staircase, large landing and superb recently fitted family bathroom with separate walk-in shower.
The property also benefits from a newly installed central heating system, including Vaillant boiler.

Outside

The rear garden is of a fantastic size and is great for any summer events. It is mainly laid to lawn with some patio areas and a rockery. Various children’s play areas have also been added by the current occupants.
The garden is mainly enclosed with hedging and has a gravel area (which can be extended if need be) to park. One point worth mentioning is there are services at the end of the garden which are set up and ready to be used for a home office/annex (subject to planning permission).

Situation

The current owners describe the house’s location as the perfect balance between town and country.
The sought after Whitchurch Village, in the Bath & North East Somerset country, is approximately 10 miles from Bath with its Roman origins and Georgian architectural and approximately 4 miles south of the city of Bristol. Whitchurch has a number of small shops, a pub, superstore, Sports Centre and a Primary School.
The nearby Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes are notable for their fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study amenities, and there are plenty of countryside walks close by. Also easily accessible are the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Secondary education is available at the renowned Chew Valley School and at Wellsway School in Keynsham.
The M4/M5 motorways are accessible via a link road at Keynsham and Bristol International Airport is within easy reach and is only a short drive to the A4 and South Bristol Link Road. An off-road cycle path runs alongside the house, creating an easy and safe commute into the city centre. The house is serviced by two bus routes, with access to Temple Meads station (15 mins) and the north of the city.
