  • Description
    In an elevated position in one of Somerset's most stunning and desirable villages, this superb Victorian semi-detached cottage offers breathtaking 25-mile views towards the Marlborough Downs and Salisbury Plain.

    The 110-year-old cottage, in a quiet lane overlooking Freshford, six miles from the Georgian city of Bath, would make an ideal family home or second residence.

    It's a short walk to the pub and primary school - and the village boasts trains to Bath and Bristol, with frequent services to London Paddington. There's easy access to the M4 and buses run regularly to Bath, Trowbridge and beautiful Bradford-on-Avon, just four miles away. In Spring and Summer the evening skies are dotted with hot-air balloons from Bath. And throughout the year bikers can use the cycle path beside the lazy Kennet & Avon Canal to ride into Bath and Bristol or east to Devizes and far beyond! Here is a cottage with immense charm. A special home, indeed . . . and one that has to be seen.

    OUTSIDE

    THE GARDEN: To the front is the beautifully kept, south-facing garden on three levels, with a secluded walled sun terrace, spacious lawn, rockery and five apple trees (which have produced up to 60 gallons of wine a year!) It's a gardener's dream. Yet despite its huge stock of shrubs and perennials, this garden has been cleverly designed to need only the minimum of maintenance!
    There's also a greenhouse and shed - and the garden extends right around the cottage to the rear where there's a second walled patio and covered terrace. A coal bunker and log store are by the back door.

    There is planning permission for a car port in the garden.
