For Sale3 Bedroom Link-Detached House in Dunkerton, Bath, Somerset, BA2£600,000

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Dunkerton, on the peaceful south-eastern edge of Bath, this charming Georgian-style cottage, dating back to around 1750, is full of warmth, history, and countryside charm.Originally part of a larger farmhouse used to house agricultural workers, the now link-detached three-bedroom home was sensitively converted in the 1970s and has since been thoughtfully modernised by its current owners — all while preserving its unique character. ‘We fell in love with the setting immediately,’ say the owners. ‘The views from every window are like framed paintings – lush green hills, mature trees, and even the church spire. It’s peaceful, private, and feels completely removed from the bustle of everyday life, yet Bath is just 15 minutes away.’ Over the last few years, the owners have lovingly enhanced the property, including rewiring the house in 2020, laying new parquet flooring in the living room, redecorating throughout, and re-landscaping the garden. The result is a warm and welcoming home that combines the cosiness of a traditional cottage with modern comfort. Set across two floors, the home offers a bright kitchen/breakfast room, cosy sitting room, utility and WC, three bedrooms, a family bathroom, mezzanine level, and a generous loft, all accessed via front and rear entrances. ‘We especially love the sitting room,’ they note. ‘The parquet floor, the wood burner – it’s such a relaxing space in winter, and in summer it stays beautifully cool. You can sit and watch the wildlife just outside the window.’ Outside, the garden flourishes in spring and summer, becoming a colourful and productive oasis. ‘We’ve grown vegetables, entertained friends with BBQs, and spent countless evenings dining alfresco as the sun sets behind the trees – there’s even a spotted flycatcher that returns from South Africa each year to nest in our wisteria.’ ‘The surrounding village is steeped in history — from the nearby medieval church to the remnants of Dunkerton’s colliery past, still visible along the brook and footpath.’ ‘Community life is vibrant and welcoming, with neighbours who’ve become close friends. From summer fairs to candle-lit Christmas services, and great local schools and community spaces like “The Hive” in Peasedown, there’s a real sense of belonging here.’ ‘Farm Cottage is not just a house, it’s a lifestyle – quiet mornings, countryside walks, and a garden filled with birdsong. It’s such a special place and we’ve made such precious memories here.’ Additional Information: Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.
