4 Bed Semi-Detached House For Sale Bath, BA2

Originally a mid-1700s built farmhouse and old dairy, Church Cottage now stands as a fully renovated and sympathetically modernised four-bedroom home set within a pretty walled garden. Positioned on the border of the Cotswolds and the Mendip Hills, this characterful property is one of the original Dunkerton properties, appearing on an antique geological map currently hung in the comfortable beamed sitting room. Built from a mix of Bath stone and White Lias stone, the sleepy cottage exterior perfectly fits into the beautiful environment in which it nestles. What’s more, available via separate negotiation, there is a fully insulated classic shepherd’s hut equipped with electricity and a multifuel stove, making it suitable for year-round use as a garden room, hideaway, or office. The property’s open-plan layout and easy garden access make it ideal for family life and summer entertaining. With warm corners and a log burner in an inglenook fireplace, the house is perfect for all seasons. ‘Church Cottage is a beautiful period home that has been perfectly updated to offer great comfort. There is plenty of space for a family to be together or have time to themselves,’ say the owners, who have lived here for eleven years. With a generously sized sitting room, a light and airy contemporary kitchen and dining space, and a guest suite on the ground floor, the first floor hosts three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bringing the property up to an excellent standard are a wealth of new features, including hardwood double-glazed windows throughout, French limestone Mandarin Stone flooring covering the entire downstairs, and reclaimed and restored antique radiators.

‘The south-facing garden is a standout feature and must be seen to be believed. Enclosed by a wall constructed from reclaimed stone, it’s a completely private sun trap where people relax, and plants thrive.’

‘The most impressive room is the cathedral-ceilinged kitchen/diner with a comfy seating and TV area. We spend a lot of time here.’

‘The village has a very active community, with the annual fair bringing everyone together. We are good friends with our neighbours, and the dogs have become best friends!’

‘There are some great local pubs and walking and running trails. Nearby Vobster Quarry provides wild swimming, while Babington House (Soho House) offers more sophisticated leisure facilities.’

‘Accessing a range of excellent schools is easy, as are all the world-class amenities Bath has to offer. One can get from Dunkerton to London Paddington in two hours by catching the train from Bath Spa Station.’

N.B. Shepherds Hut available via separate negotiation.
