The Croft is an attractive end terraced period cottage which has been in the current family's ownership for over 75 years. It is constructed chiefly in stone beneath a pan tiled roof with a substantial two storey rear extension. The property has the advantage of not being listed and is offered to the market with scope for some modernisation and improvement to realise its full potential. It retains character features such as exposed stone walls, mullioned windows, beamed ceilings etc and is largely unspoilt. There are good size gardens to front and rear as well as the advantage of driveway parking.

Priston is a sought after and attractive rural village surrounded by farmland approximately 6 miles from Bath and 10 miles from Bristol. It has a great deal of charm and the cottage is a short walk away from the popular country pub, The Ring Of Bells, while the village hall is the centre of the community and caters for varying interests. There are a number of annual events including Priston May Day, a music festival and duck race as well as a strong local cricket team. There is a Co-Operative convenience store in nearby Marksbury which is approximately 2.5 miles away.
