About this property

Nestled within the highly sought-after village of Freshford, just a few miles south of Bath, this wonderful cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful period home. Combining timeless architectural charm with contemporary living, this intriguing residence offers flexible accommodation, retaining the historic charm inherent with its history.

The property is entered to a half landing with turning stairs to the upper and lower floors. The lower floor has storage and a cloakroom. There is a study/occasional bedroom on this level adding to the versatility of the accommodation. A kitchen/dining room lies to the rear with gas fired Aga set within a fireplace recess and full height dresser alongside work tops with butler sink. Ample room is provided for a kitchen table and the stripped wood floor adds further character to rustic character of this room, which overlooks and has access to the rear garden. Alongside is a dining room with an ornate cast iron range and storage cupboard. The ground floor hall comprises the two primary reception rooms both benefiting from their views to the south east. The sitting room has a "Jetmaster" open fire with a wood burner in the family room alongside. This room also leads into a store room that includes a gas fired boiler, installed in 2024, ideal for drying laundry. This floor also has a modern fitted wet room with a large shower enclosure, basin and WC. The second floor comprises a principal bedroom with fabulous views and an en-suite bathroom, also benefiting from far reaching views. There are two further double bedrooms, both of which offer spectacular views. The arrangement and flexibility of accommodation lends itself equally well to family life, guest accommodation or working from home, just as the current owners do.

Outside
The main gardens lie to the rear and offer a classic English country feel. With a raised deck and formal lawn for enjoying the far-reaching views and alfresco entertaining, the borders comprise established planting with a path that crosses a shared path to a further area of wilded garden with pond and trees. The shared path continues down to The Tyning, where parking is available for vehicles. To the end of the terrace is a large store, ideal for bicycles and larger items. The property is approached along a mainly pedestrian track with a further shed and log store.

Situation
Freshford is a picturesque and highly desirable village on the outskirts of Bath, renowned for its strong community feel, beautiful countryside surroundings and excellent connectivity. A rare feature for such a small community is that is has its own railway station, providing direct services to Bath, Bristol and the south coast. The city of Bath (approximately 6 miles) offers world-class cultural, retail and dining amenities with an abundance of theatres and museums. A network of footpaths, riverside walks and open countryside is literally on the doorstep of this truly delightful cottage. The village itself boasts a popular community shop, café, pub and primary school, contributing to its enduring appeal.
