Winsome Cottage, The Rocks

Setting the Scene

Winsome Cottage is a charming property set in the idyllic hamlet of The Rocks, Ashwicke, surrounded by woodland and open farmland on the Southern edge of the Cotswolds.

Ashwicke is situated 6 miles from the beautiful City of Bath. It is nestled between the sought-after villages of Colerne and Marshfield. Both have excellent facilities which include country pubs, GP surgeries, convenience shops, a florist and coffee/tea shops. Families will appreciate the choice of schools, as both villages have well-regarded primary schools, Colerne Primary School and Marshfield C of E Primary School. There is also easy access to the secondary independent schools north of Bath including Kingswood School, King Edward’s School and The Royal High School for girls.

Conveniently located for access to the M4. Regular trains from both Bath Spa Railway Station and Chippenham.

The property

This unique GRADE II LISTED 5 bedroom mid-terrace cottage is part of the original ‘Southernwood Castle Estate’, thought to date back to the 15th century - it offers a unique chance to own a piece of history.

The property features two kitchens (one of which features a garden room, the other a dining room) providing flexibility in layout and offering potential for multi-generational living or creative redesign. It features 2 spacious reception rooms - one currently used as a sitting room, the other would be ideal as a potential dining room or playroom. There are 3 bathrooms (one en-suite) and a WC.

The well-maintained garden boasts a lush lawn, flourishing vegetable patches, and a charming patio perfect for outdoor seating. Additionally, a versatile outbuilding currently used for storage with potential to be adapted for use as a home office.

The property is move-in ready, though it would benefit from modernisation. Winsome Cottage offers the perfect opportunity for those looking to create their dream family home or embark on a rewarding renovation project.
