Foxglove Cottage is a compact, characterful 2-bedroom cottage built c.1824, set in the heart of Norton St. Philip. The house retains period features — exposed beams, plantation shutters, flagstone flooring and a double-door wood burner — that create a warm, cosy interior while delivering a strong village atmosphere. The extended kitchen/dining area offers a comfortable open-plan living space on the ground floor.
Upstairs comprises two double bedrooms; the principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows that flood the room with light. The property is double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, providing modern comfort within a historic shell. A paved rear courtyard provides a low-maintenance outdoor space for dining and evening relaxation, while a small front garden and a decent plot give a sense of separation from the street.
Practical points to note: the cottage’s stone walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002. There is a single bathroom and rooms are modest in size — typical of period cottages — which may limit complete reconfiguration without structural work. Broadband is listed as fast and mobile signal excellent, and there is easy access to village amenities including a pub, shop, primary school and regular bus links to Bath.
This property suits buyers seeking a village lifestyle with character and manageable outdoor space — ideal for downsizers or anyone wanting a period home within easy reach of Bath. It presents immediate liveability with scope for sensitive updating to improve thermal performance and modern convenience.
