A charming three bedroom period house with off street parking and garage as well as landscaped gardens in the village of Corston, just 4.1 miles from Bath.
This fully renovated and extended cottage arranged over two floors sits tucked-away in extensive landscaped gardens on the edge of the small village of Corston to the west of Bath. Originally part of a row of farm worker’s cottages dating back to the mid/late 18th century they were later reconfigured into three properties making Langdale Cottage end of terrace to the south-west. “We have totally renovated the cottage, whilst keeping the traditional character, including the addition of two single storey extensions which now comprise the new kitchen/utility room and a new entrance lobby and cloakroom. There is also potential to add a second-storey extension above the kitchen subject to planning permission. The cottage also comes with an under-croft garage which was built by the previous owners circa 1969,” say owners Alan and Chris. “The extensive rear garden was designed by a landscape architect following which we built all the hard landscaping, laid lawns, added a pond and carried out extensive planting of trees, shrubs and perennials. There are two purpose-built sheds discreetly screened within the garden and a greenhouse, alongside which are soft fruit bushes and apple and plum trees. It’s a truly stunning country garden.”
“We were first attracted to the cottage due to its village location, especially the beautiful surrounding countryside, and the ease of access to public transport to both Bath and Bristol, and beyond. There was also the temptation of many attractive countryside walks, many of which are right on the doorstep. You really do get the best of both worlds living here.”
“Nearby Marksbury and Saltford have excellent primary schools and there is a good comprehensive in Keynsham. Bath has a wealth of independent schools and Bath Spa University is just a short walk away. Corston has a village shop and post office and an excellent village hall offering a range of social activities. Newton St Loe farm shop has a lovely cafe and is 1.0 miles away. Bristol Airport is 14.7 miles away.”
“Since the cottage refurbishment we have enjoyed many years of peaceful and social living in Corston and we will find it a wrench to leave. We have an excellent relationship with our neighbours who are always the first there if we need help – we will be very sorry to leave them. The garden has given great joy, both with friends enjoying a glass of wine on a summers evening, or simply sitting out there quietly with a good book.”
