House For Sale £520,000
Laurel Farm Cottage, formally a farm house, dates back to 1840 and possibly prior. The property is very charming and a delight to look upon, set back from the old thoroughfare and the street with the brook babbling by.
The local primary school nearby and farm shop, plus the easy access to Bath and also Bristol, make this an ideal retreat.
If you are looking for a property to add to, the outbuilding will give you plenty of options, from home office, project rooms etc and the gardens combine relaxation with self sufficiency vegetable growing.
The accommodation is approached via the old stone path to the cottage, in the warmer months lit up with climbing wisteria and hydrangea. The entrance hall opens into the main living room with beamed ceilings and a large stone fireplace, there are window seats recessed into the thick stone walls.
You will find a dining room that links from the living room and the kitchen, with an additional space behind. The kitchen breakfast room being the hub of the home with an Rayburn to warm you in the winter months, a utility room, downstairs shower room, study and a conservatory.
The first floor landing has a rustic banister, four generous bedrooms and a modern bathroom suite.
Externally you have two cow sheds, now converted into garages, as well as five sheds including an open barn which would make a excellent entertaining area, all accessed via the rear garden which is over two levels.
