Apple Tree Cottage is a characterful four-bedroom detached cottage set in a very large, level garden approaching 0.47 acres in sought-after High Woolaston. The house offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms, a conservatory overlooking the rear garden and a detached garage with useful outbuildings — ideal for family life, gardening enthusiasts or those seeking room to expand. The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony with countryside views, and the conservatory/patio provides a pleasant spot for outdoor dining and afternoon sun.
The property retains period features: exposed beams, a brick fireplace and rustic kitchen with central island. Practical points include off-street parking behind double gates and a rear driveway for easy access. Services are traditional — oil-fired boiler and radiators — and the septic tank is located in a field opposite the house (solicitors reviewed permissions when vendors purchased).
Important practical considerations: the cottage was built before 1900 with solid brick walls that are likely uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. These features mean prospective buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation where possible, heating modernisation) and verify any works needed for the septic system. Mobile signal is average, broadband is fast, and the immediate area is low-crime, affluent countryside with good local schools and road/rail links for commuting.
Overall, this is a classic rural family home that combines period charm, a substantial private garden and flexible accommodation. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a peaceful countryside base with scope to update energy performance and personalise interiors.
