a lovely south facing garden - beautifully presented character home, BS48 2AA

A charming early XIXth century period cottage that has been extensively and tastefully renovated in recent years creating an extremely comfortable home of great character offering considerable flexibility and a pretty, private south facing rear garden.

The property is thought to date from around 1820 and may once have been two cottages while latterly the property has been extended with a well matched addition that blends with the original accommodation.

Throughout the cottage is exceptionally well presented and the improvements that have been carried out since 2021 have certainly enhanced the property with great care taken to ensure that all new additions suit the original character and lovely feel of the house.

Today there are seemingly 2 front doors which might confuse the casual viewer into thinking that there are two cottages here.

The right hand door is no longer in use and so is just decorative but the true front door opens to an attractive hall hat with a geometric patterned tiled floor much like a Georgian tessellated floor.

The living room with its oak herringbone floor enjoys an outlook over the rear garden with a pair of windows, one having a window seat.

An original arched fireplace complete with a wood burning stove is a very appealing feature and a vertical radiator adds contemporary interest.

Plank doors open to both the hall and to a staircase hall that leads through to an equally charming sitting room that has previously served as a double bedroom if a third reception room isn’t needed.

The oak flooring continues through to the staircase hall and into the sitting room.

Here the triple window allows an outlook towards Silver Street, there is a classic cast iron fireplace and characterful exposed stonework on one wall, in addition there is a walk in recess with a window to the rear that may serve as a study recess with a bult in cupboard beneath the stairs.

The kitchen again overlooks the rear garden and the sheltered flagstone terrace with French doors leading outside.

There is a good range of contemporary wall and floor cupboards with an integrated dishwasher, a built in eye level oven, grill and combination microwave with extensive oak worksurfaces and an inset vitreous China sink.

Space is provided for an upright fridge freezer and the floor is porcelain tiled.

The living space flows through to a utility room that is so much more than just a utility room with plumbing for a washing etc.

Its exposed local stone chimney breast exposed polished floorboards and high vaulted ceiling are very appealing and the eye is drawn through to the panelled dining room that also has a faux stone period style stone fireplace, a deep sill window, a door to the garden and polished floorboards.

Finally on the ground floor there is well appointed full bathroom.

On the first floor the landing is large enough to offer a study area and is understood to have once been partitioned to offer another bedroom with an outlook towards Cadbury Camp.

The principal bedroom is well proportioned and arranged to overlook the rear garden with a dressing room off that has wall to wall fitted wardrobes, an outlook to the front and a door to a spacious en suite shower room.

The second bedroom is also a comfortable double room with an outlook towards Cadbury Camp and a cast iron Ducks nest fireplace.

Outside: The south facing garden is entirely set to the rear and stretches away from the house for a considerable distance.

A flagstone paved patio adjoins the back of the cottage with lawn beyond that is level and framed by local stone walls and a series of established shrubs and bushes.

A lily pond is set to one side with a gravelled seating area and towards the bottom of the garden there is a further gravelled area with two timber garden sheds and a summerhouse.
