Located six miles south-east of Bath, the picturesque Somerset village of Freshford is idyllically set within the Avon valley and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Green Belt and a conservation area. As a highly sought-after village enjoying excellent links with Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Frome and a number of equally desirable villages, it boasts an excellent primary school, a community shop, a local Inn and instant access to miles of footpaths. Positioned in the Park Corner area, three-bedroom Bank Cottage is an 1850 built end of terrace cottage which, together with attached White Hart Cottage, was originally a village Inn. Arranged over two floors it is a typical Cotswold style cottage with thick walls to ensure it stays cool in the summer and warm and cosy during the winter. The pretty stone exterior is further enhanced by a climbing antique pink rose rising from the small front garden while an elevated and enclosed rear terraced garden offers privacy and excellent views. ‘For location, beauty and community Freshford cannot be beaten – it’s a really wonderful village with excellent amenities, from the community run shop and café to the train station offering regular services. The cottage feels traditional and comfortable and is in a good position. The garden is a good size and very peaceful,’ say the owners.
‘There was a lot of work to do to the property when we bought it in late 2018 including a damp course, replastering, fitting a new boiler, a partial roof repair and creating more cupboard space and shelving for storage and display.’
‘French doors open from the kitchen to a small yard which offers steps up to the garden where there is a mix of lawn and rockery areas, rose bushes, shrubs and fruit trees. The garden is picket fenced and gated to ensure it is safe for children and dogs.’
‘The lounge, with its log burner, low beams and alcoves has so much character. The main bedroom has lovely views over the garden.’
‘We love being surrounded by beautiful countryside which is accessible from the doorstep – the local woodland and riverside walks, especially to nearby Iford, really are stunning.’
‘Next door to the brilliant shop and café is a recently updated village hall which offers around 30 community groups and classes. Village sporting facilities are good with an active tennis and football club. Homewood Park Hotel & Spa is nearby.’
