The sitting room has a "Jetmaster" open fire with a wood burner in the family room alongside.

Outside

The main gardens lie to the rear and offer a classic English country feel. With a raised deck and formal lawn for enjoying the far-reaching views and alfresco entertaining, the borders comprise established planting with a path that crosses a shared path to a further area of wilded garden with pond and trees. The shared path continues down to The Tyning, where parking is available for vehicles. To the end of the terrace is a large store, ideal for bicycles and larger items. The property is approached along a mainly pedestrian track with a further shed and log store.

Situation

Freshford is a picturesque and highly desirable village on the outskirts of Bath, renowned for its strong community feel, beautiful countryside surroundings and excellent connectivity. A rare feature for such a small community is that is has its own railway station, providing direct services to Bath, Bristol and the south coast. The city of Bath (approximately 6 miles) offers world-class cultural, retail and dining amenities with an abundance of theatres and museums. A network of footpaths, riverside walks and open countryside is literally on the doorstep of this truly delightful cottage. The village itself boasts a popular community shop, café, pub and primary school, contributing to its enduring appeal.
