Description
South Cottage is a charming Grade II listed period cottage which has been the subject of a comprehensive renovation. The cottage is an excellent country home in which to hideaway enjoying a tucked away location in the rural hamlet of Petty France and yet easily accessible to the M4 corridor, ideal for those who commute to Bristol, Bath or those seeking to escape London for the weekend. A public footpath is accessible immediately from the doorstep which explores the beautiful surrounding countryside and woodlands, whilst just across the road is the Bodkin House Hotel and restaurant. The cottage has been sympathetically extended and wholly renovated including re-wiring, roofing, damp proof coursing, windows, all new flooring and decoration.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors extending in all to 1,151 sq.ft. The ground floor opens to the new extension which houses the brand-new kitchen. The kitchen is fully fitted with Bosch appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, induction and oven. The kitchen connects superbly to the living room which features a wood-burning stove within a large stone inglenook fireplace complete with the former bread oven feature. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and the main bathroom. The bathroom has been fitted with a luxurious roll-top bath. The top floor offers a further shower room alongside a characterful attic bedroom with magnificent exposed beams.
The cottage is approached down a shared drive leading to the private parking bay for two cars. Aptly named, the cottage enjoys a south-facing aspect with the private garden arranged to the front. The garden has a good degree of privacy bound by new fencing and mature trees. The newly laid lawn adjoins a patio terrace.
The cottage is available ready to move into with no onward chain.
