Summary - TOWNSEND COTTAGE TOWNSEND NORTON ST PHILIP BATH BA2 7LQ
Flagstone floors, exposed beams and plantation shutters throughout
Foxglove Cottage is a characterful two-bedroom stone cottage tucked into the heart of Norton St Philip, offered on a freehold basis. The house retains period features – exposed beams, flagstone floors and plantation shutters – and has been tastefully extended to provide an open-plan kitchen/dining space with a double-door wood burner and a vaulted bedroom with Velux windows. The rear paved courtyard is private and low-maintenance, ideal for alfresco meals and evening drinks.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, a low local crime rate and no flood risk. The village location places local amenities, a popular pub, primary school and farm shops within easy walking distance, while Bath is about seven miles away by road or regular bus service.
Important points to note: the cottage dates from c.1824 and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so improving thermal performance may be needed to reduce running costs. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the property has a single bathroom, so buyers should factor in potential updating. Room sizes are modest, reflecting the traditional cottage layout rather than modern open-plan proportions.
This home will suit buyers seeking a compact, character-filled village base with straightforward outdoor space and good connectivity — especially downsizers or couples wanting easy village life close to Bath. It also offers scope for targeted energy upgrades and internal modernisation to personalise the finish and improve efficiency.
