An immaculately presented three bedroom detached cottage with a two bedroom annexe, large gardens with countryside views, outbuildings and a single garage with room for storage, conveniently situated near the Bath and West Showgrounds.

About the property:

Batch House is an attractive detached stone cottage with generous living accommodation including a spacious conservatory overlooking the stunning gardens, downstairs study and three large double bedrooms with two en-suite shower rooms. A separate annexe is currently run as a successful Airbnb but would be equally suitable for a dependent relative with open plan kitchen/living room and two double bedrooms and its own private courtyard. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped with a variety of rooms, a vegetable garden, outbuilding and a large terrace to make the most of the views. The bottom of the garden is bordered by a stream, with the perfect opportunity to create another seating area to enjoy the peace.

About the inside:

An enclosed entrance porch offers plenty of room for shoes and coats before arriving into the hallway with a spacious dual aspect farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room opening to the left, fitted with a range of oak units and space for a large electric range cooker. Opposite the kitchen is a practical utility room and cloakroom. In the centre of the cottage is a generous and light filled dining room which opens into a peaceful sitting room with a wood burning stove to the right, and a large conservatory overlooking the gardens to the left. Further on, a spacious study could also be used as a ground floor bedroom.

Upstairs are three surprisingly large double bedrooms, and a contemporary family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a wall of built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. Far reaching views can be enjoyed from this room, and from bedroom two which also has an en-suite shower room.

About the outside:

A large gravelled driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and access to a double garage with up and over door. A five bar gate leads into the main garden which extends to approximately 3/4 of an acre, perfect for both keen gardeners and a growing family. A generous paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, leads down to the first of several lawns with an open sided garden room creating a cosy seating nook. A series of archways, paths, and steps lead to different areas divided by hedges and mature shrubs and trees, incorporating lawns, fruit trees, a greenhouse and stone workshop, vegetable garden, and the stream at the bottom with scope to create a further seating area to enjoy the sound of the water trickling by.

About the annexe:

The annexe is a detached stone cottage with its own walled courtyard and consists of an open plan kitchen/dining/living room with a wood burning stove, downstairs shower room and two good sized bedrooms upstairs. Currently run as a successful Airbnb, the annexe lends itself to a number of uses, such as for a dependent relative or holiday accommodation.
