House For Sale £599,950
Description
Manor House Farm Cottage is a lovely village residence situated in the semi-rural village of North Stoke, just a stone’s throw from the historic city of Bath. The property has an attractive frontage with an oak frame storm porch and seating area where you can take in the views and watch the house martins fly out and return to your eaves.
The wood floored entrance hall is large and doubles as a dining space as it stretches front to back in the property. The sitting room has a similar wood laid floor and looks out to the front of the house. The focal point of the room is an attractive oak beam fireplace with a wood burning stove and slate hearth. To the rear of the property and giving access through French doors to the rear garden is the generous sized kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has plenty of worktop space with integrated induction hob and electric oven. There is space also for a washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher. This is a versatile room with a triple aspect, giving it a light, bright feel and is an extension of the garden in the summer. There is also a downstairs cloakroom WC sitting just off the entrance hall.
Upstairs are three good sized double bedrooms, the largest of which looks out onto the pretty rear garden and patio. A family bathroom sits in-between and has a bath with shower over.
The gardens are magnificent, and large, some 150ft in length. With a spacious sun terrace patio which sits immediately to the rear of the property. This then leads up stone paved steps to the rest of the gardens, which are beautifully planted with a mixture of flowering borders, mature trees and lawn.
There are two log cabin style outbuildings, both with power and internet wired in, that can be used either as home offices or bedrooms or as treatment rooms or workshops depending on your profession. These lend excellent useable space throughout the year and give you the flexibility of accommodation to suit your needs. There are also a shed for gardening equipment and furniture storage.
To the very end of the garden lies a newly laurel hedged bordered area that would make a perfect spot for a firepit and seating area or a spot of wild camping with the family.
Situation
Manor House Farm Cottage is situated in the heart of the picturesque and highly sought after village of North Stoke west of Bath. The village is host to a number of period cottages and large country residences and is within 5 miles of Bath City Centre. North Stoke boasts a wonderful elevated position that offers some excellent panoramas of the local countryside. St Martins Church is nearby and lovely country walks with Lansdown Golf Club and Bath Racecourse within walking distance to the east. Only half a mile country walk is Upton Cheyney with its well-regarded public house; The Upton Inn. Swineford is only down the road where The Swan, a Bath Ales pub can be found and great access to the Bristol to Bath cycle path which is part of the National Cycle Network.
Nearby is the World Heritage site of Bath and the city of Bristol, both offering major shopping and entertainment attractions along with numerous historical buildings to enjoy. Bristol airport is also only a 15 mile drive away and the M4 motorway Junction 18 is 8 miles drive to the north. Keynsham Railway Station is the easiest to get to and gives fantastic links to both Bristol, London, Wales and the South-West.
