3 bedroom cottage for sale

This charming, detached cottage is brimming with history, character, and timeless appeal, nestled in the heart of Yatton village with convenient access to all local amenities. A unique opportunity, this period home is offered to the market with no onward chain. Dating back to the 1800s, it was originally two separate cottages—Sunnyside and Snowdrop—until they were skilfully merged into one residence in the 1950s, resulting in this delightful and distinctive property.

The entrance welcomes you with a courtyard paved in cobblestones that once belonged to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's historic Passenger Sheds. Stepping inside, the home’s rich character is immediately evident, with original inglenook replaces, exposed wooden beams, and a secret priest hole leading to a cosy study space.

The ground floor features a bright, dual-aspect kitchen, a convenient cloakroom and a spacious drawing room. Both the sitting room and dining area showcase charming bay windows and inglenook replaces, exuding the warmth and character one expects in a home of this nature. A more recent addition, the garden room at the rear, has a stunning wooden-beamed ceiling and overlooks the beautifully landscaped garden—ideal for quiet reflection or relaxation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is spacious and airy, with windows on two sides and its own en-suite shower room. Two additional double bedrooms complete the upper level, with the third bedroom accessible by a secondary staircase from the sitting room, and also connected to bedroom two through an adjoining door.

Outside

The rear garden has been lovingly cultivated, offering a variety of spaces to enjoy. From the manicured lawns to raised patio seating areas, decorative stone paths, and well-tended planting beds, the garden is a peaceful retreat. Two ponds and a stone outbuilding add extra charm, while a summer house provides the perfect spot for outdoor gatherings, all with the picturesque village church as a backdrop. The front of the property is enclosed by a traditional stone wall, with a neat lawn bordered by mature shrubs and bushes. A gravel driveway, secured by a five-bar wooden gate, offers ample off-street parking and leads to the historic cobbled courtyard and the entrance to this captivating home.
