Located in an extremely pretty rural position on the edge of Horton, Holly Cottage is a charming period cottage with later additions made by the current owners. The cottage is rendered with a stone-built extension and presents well with some attractive features and a range of comfortable accommodation. There is further potential to enlarge the cottage (with the necessary planning permission), and of course, would lend itself to a purchaser with equestrian interests as much as it would suit someone simply requiring a country lifestyle with the benefits of the privacy afforded by the extensive grounds.
Internally, the rooms are well proportioned with an abundance of natural light, comfortable ceiling heights and views across the gardens and grounds. The present owners have improved the property and extended the accommodation, creating a spacious three bedroom home with a good range of living space including a large and attractive sitting room with a dining area. To one end of this impressive room is a stone fireplace fitted with a log-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with a range of bespoke fitted units and a good conservatory provides additional space from which the pretty gardens can be enjoyed. Double French windows open on to the beautifully presented main gardens.
Outside:
Holly Cottage is beautifully positioned within its grounds and is approached through entrance gates to a large parking area beside the cottage on one side of the drive and the garage and stables on the other. The delightful gardens are well established and offer a pretty, secluded area to enjoy, with the larger south-facing garden to the rear of the property and predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and shrub borders. Beyond the formal gardens are pretty paddocks within a ring fence, which has been enjoyed by the family for the keeping of horses and ponies. There is a range of timber stables and barn to the northwest of the cottage, comprising two loose boxes, a tack room and a hay store. The stables are well located to take advantage of access to the paddocks for turnout. The garage and workshop are useful attributes and offer substantial space for storage with versatility for other uses.
Location:
Communications in the area are superb with the M4 (J18) c. 4 miles giving access to London and the M4/M5 interchange near Bristol. Rail connections are available at Bristol Parkway, Bath Spa or Chippenham. Bristol Airport is c. 25 miles away offering both domestic and international flights. Sporting opportunities are endless including racing at Bath, Chepstow and Cheltenham; hunting with the Duke of Beaufort's Hounds; equestrian activities including the Badminton, Gatcombe and Dauntsey Horse Trials; polo at Westonbirt; golf at Bristol, Bath and Castle Combe; Premiership rugby at Bath and Bristol and motorsports at Castle Combe.
