Tucked away in a peaceful, traffic free location in the heart of the desirable Box Village, this charming Bath stone Georgian cottage offers plenty of period charm and countryside comfort from this well connected position.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this two bedroom cottage is encapsulated within a picturesque terrace of similar homes enjoying a delightful elevated position with far reaching views across the surrounding countryside from the first floor. Ideal as a first time purchase, a downsize move, or a buy to let holiday home, this lovely residence exudes attractive features and practicality in equal measure.

As you enter this home you are met with a welcoming open plan sitting dining room where an exposed stone wall and a wood burning stove create a warm and characterful ambience. A traditional fitted kitchen occupies the middle of the house, providing ample cabinetry and workspace, along with a door that leads to the garden and a convenient utility cupboard neatly tucked away for practical living. At the rear of the house on the ground floor, a beautifully presented shower room offers a fully tiled large shower enclosure, further to the hand wash basin, W.C, and heated towel rail.

On the first floor, two well proportioned bedrooms provide a tranquil retreat for family and guests and occupiers of the main double bedroom at the front of the house can expect to enjoy impressive open views that stretch beyond the village. Adjacent, the slightly smaller second double bedroom has a pleasant vista of the mature rear garden and beyond towards greenery, often benefitting from plenty of natural light via the sash window.

Outside, the property features a delightful enclosed rear garden, thoughtfully designed to provide a private and peaceful space to relax or entertain whilst surrounded by mature planting beds that provides a luscious background of greenery and colour. There is a highly useful and well equipped summerhouse which serves perfectly as a garden office.
