Charming rural retreat with mature gardens and countryside views.
18th‑century detached stone cottage with extensive period character
Ashley Cottage is an 18th‑century detached stone cottage set in the peaceful village of Stanton Drew, recently renovated to blend period character with contemporary comforts. The house offers well‑proportioned rooms, exposed oak beams, a log‑burning stove, a bespoke shaker kitchen with Neff appliances and granite worktops, and a bright sun room opening onto landscaped gardens.
The property sits on a large, private plot with wrap‑around, south‑westerly gardens, a pergola and an elevated ‘secret’ garden area enjoying countryside views towards the Great Circle. Mature planting and a gated entrance create an immediate cottage feel while providing good privacy from the lane.
Substantial renovation work has been completed: new roof, extensive damp proofing and internal upgrades including premium fixtures and an Aquatech water purifier — making the house largely move‑in ready. Practical considerations include a single family bathroom serving three double bedrooms and an EPC indicating low energy efficiency, so heating and insulation improvements may be needed to reduce running costs.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a rural family home or countryside retreat within easy commuting distance of Bath and Bristol. It offers characterful living with potential to further improve energy performance and adapt spaces to modern lifestyles.
