A fabulous detached period house (not Listed) of character and charm in a Conservation Area and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, carefully refurbished throughout to a particularly high standard. Enjoying stunning widespread and far reaching views across the valley towards the Westbury White Horse, the property is delightfully situated in this highly sought after, thriving village on the southern outskirts of Bath.
Externally
Leigh Cottage stands in fabulous, beautifully designed and tended gardens to front, side and rear. They are enclosed, mainly laid to lawn with numerous flower borders, specimen trees, bushes and mature shrubs. There are various sitting areas to take account of the stunning views, sunshine or shade (and include a wide sun terrace directly off the sitting room). There is a separate area below the main garden with a timber shed (this would make a lovely spot for a home office) whilst, in front of the house, there is a cobbled and gated driveway providing parking for 2 cars. Outside water taps and lighting.
Location
The house occupies a wonderful, select and peaceful position. Being part of the extremely popular village of Freshford, the house is close to the excellent primary school, community shop/cafe, railway station and riverside pub. Wonderful walks are available in the beautiful countryside in the immediate vicinity, the centre of Bath is only 5 or so miles away whilst the various shops and amenities in Bradford-on-Avon are also nearby.
