3 bedroom cottage for sale

Offered for sale with no onward chain, Ash Cottage is a charming 18th Century cottage with oodles of period character, situated in an idyllic rural location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with country walks on the doorstep, just a short drive to the World Heritage City of Bath, and enjoying stunning panoramic views over the Bybrook Valley.

With beautiful character features that include an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, stripped wooden floor boards and exposed ceiling beams, the accommodation is set over three floors, with access to the property via a gated entrance which leads across the garden and into the south-facing garden room which has two sets of French windows opening onto the garden allowing plenty of natural light to flood in, as well as a herringbone brick paved floor and glass roof, making this a fantastic room to relax in come summer or winter. A door leads through into the cosy and warm dual aspect sitting room with a handsome inglenook fireplace, wood burning stove and engineered oak floor. The kitchen has been recently re-fitted with a range of wall and base units, gas hob, electric oven, and space for dishwasher and fridge/freezer, along with a utility cupboard that houses the modern Worcester combination boiler and plumbing for washing machine. Stairs lead up from the sitting room, which are enclosed with stripped boarding and a door that takes you up onto the first floor landing, leading to two double bedrooms, one with gorgeous stripped wooden floor boards and the other with exposed ceiling beams, and the centrally located family bathroom which has a bath with shower over, wc & basin, and a wonderful port hole window offering woodland views and adding yet more character and charm. On the second floor is a further double bedroom with built in storage cupboard, eaves storage, and stunning views over the valley below.

Outside is an enclosed and well stocked south-west facing garden enjoying plenty of sunlight along with panoramic views to the west. There is a large patio area with plenty of space for garden furniture and barbecue, making it the perfect spot to enjoy outside living in the warmer months, as well as a good sized lawn, and an array of established shrubs and trees, a substantial garden shed (available by negotiation), and even a stone-built well. On road parking can be found immediately adjacent to the property.
