A well presented, spacious and idyllically located detached property just five miles from Bath city centre. It has a lovely garden, rural views and ample parking area. This pretty detached house dating back to the 18th Century with recent yet sympathetic additions, offers large, light and open modern living accommodation combined with attractive character features. Throughout the ground floor there are large wooden framed, double glazed sash windows including large bays in the kitchen/ dining room and the living room which flood the property with light and give the feeling of spaciousness that is already prevalent from well proportioned rooms. To help during the long winter months the property benefits from under-floor heating throughout (except in the utility and cloakroom) and there is an inset Jetmaster fire in the living room. The kitchen/dining room is a very adaptable space which has recently been updated by the present owners with wall and base mounted units, a central island with granite work surfaces. The first floor accommodation is equally spacious and is also served by under-floor heating, each of the bedrooms on the first floor could be classed as a double although bedroom four may work better as a twin or single. The principal bedrooms are located at either end of the landing and there is a recently re-fitted bathroom and a separate shower room that serve the bedrooms on this level. En suite facilities could easily be incorporated into either room. The fifth bedroom is on the second floor and could quite also be used as an office, study or playroom. The gardens, views and position of The Cottage are stunning and a particular feature for both green fingered enthusiasts and those that prefer a choice of peaceful, private spots to enjoy a good book and a gin and tonic on a summers evening. Situated entirely on the south side of the property with a gentle meandering stream (the Lam Brook) providing your boundary this really has a special feel about it. There are mature trees and a range of well stocked and equally well attended flower and shrub borders that are interspersed throughout, there is an exquisitely kept vegetable garden with greenhouse close by, a small island with a stunning weeping willow and a raised terrace from which you can sit back and enjoy it all!
