Bassett Cottage was once a farmhand property for the dairy farm within the village. It is approached via a shingle driveway from the lane leading through the front garden and also giving access to a neighbouring property. The drive leads to the parking area which could accommodate 2 cars.

The stone cottage faces to the south west and enjoys fantastic views over the valley beyond.

Internally the main door leads into the kitchen which in turn follows onto the generous sitting room which boasts stone mullioned windows and an inset woodburning stove in a lovely fireplace.

Upstairs consists of two bedrooms matching the kitchen and living room on the ground floor and a bathroom.

Externally there is a lean to build of corrugated materials and houses the oil fired boiler and the washing machine. An extension would be ideal for the property and would need the relevant consents to be obtained.

Claverton Village is both ancient and historic, a former Saxon settlement built around a religious manor, once home of The Bishop of Bath and Wells and Ralph Allen.
