The property is located at the end of a private drive off Claverton Hill. Dating from the 1930s it was formerly the gardener's cottage for Orchard House. The cottage has been completely renovated and extended by the current owners with great care and attention to create a charming family home. The original cottage is double fronted and built from Bath stone beneath a tiled roof. The side extension seamlessly mirrors the fabric of the older building including the gable window, chimney, masonry, and window frames. The entrance hall leads to a welcoming and homely kitchen with the original Rayburn stove and beautiful parquet floor. The parquet flooring continues to the living room which features an impressive stone fireplace. French doors open to a paved patio perfect for al fresco dining. To the rear of the property is a further extension where there is a utility/boiler room, cloakroom and study or boot room with access to a back yard. Completing the accommodation on the ground floor is a snug or dining room that retains the original stone fireplace. Upstairs there is engineered oak flooring throughout. There are four bedrooms that all benefit from southerly views across the valley towards Sally in the Wood. The principal bedroom has an en suite wet room. The family bathroom features a reclaimed suite of bathroom furniture, in keeping with the age of the property, yet with a modern touch.
The property also benefits from a separate self contained accommodation within a converted greenhouse, perfect for a dependant relative or holiday let. It comprises of an open plan kitchen, sitting room and a dining area with French doors onto a terrace overlooking the garden. There is also a bedroom and shower room.
The beautiful gardens extend to nearly one acre, wrapped around the cottage and mainly lawned. There are apple and plum trees, cottage garden plants and mature trees and hedging. At the end of the garden is a greenhouse, potting shed and plenty of space for a vegetable garden as well as an area to store garden machinery. Closer to the house and at the end of the driveway are a storage shed and storage container.
