The property

Vendor's viewpoint- "Middle Cottage has offered us the perfect combination of Cotswold countryside life, in a buzzing community village with the beautiful city of Bath on our doorstep. We have enjoyed the south facing garden, which is a sun trap and has been a prefect spot to admire the views. The cottage quirks and features are what we love most!”

Welcome to this charming 2 bedroom, grade II listed cottage nestled in a secluded location with views that will make your heart skip a beat. As you step into this home, you'll immediately notice the care and attention the current owners have poured into it. Period features blend effortlessly with modern touches, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. Picture yourself on a cold winter's night, curled up by the wood burner, basking in the warmth and cosiness. The kitchen, recently renovated, boasts all the conveniences one could desire, making cooking a breeze. And let's not forget the solid oak engineered floors that add a touch of elegance to every step you take.

But the real star of the show is the outside space. Prepare to be awestruck by the flat south-facing secure garden that awaits you. Not only is it a haven for sun worshippers, but the views across the Box Valley will make you feel like you've been transported to a different world. On a clear day, you can even spot the majestic Westbury white horse standing tall in the distance. The garden has been expertly designed to maximise space, with a meticulously manicured lawn and a pebble ground seating spot strategically placed to capture the best of both sunrise and sunset. You'll find yourself surrounded by nature, with woven hazel fence panels and a tall hedge providing the perfect amount of privacy. As you stroll through the garden, you'll be greeted by the vibrant colours and intoxicating scents of lavender, roses, Japanese quince, lambs ears, catmint, and honeysuckle in the carefully tended flower beds. And every countryside cottage worth its salt has its own vegetable patch and herb garden, and this one is no exception, currently boasting strawberries, chives, rosemary, and thyme for all your culinary needs. Need storage for all your gardening tools and outdoor essentials? Fear not, because the handy shed has got you covered. And to top it all off, there's even a garden room/office providing a tranquil space for those wanting to work away from the home or a space to host guests.

For parking many residents park on Tutton Hill, or in the village, which is a short walk from the property.
