Friary Cottage is a charming 17th-century stone house set in a private riverside plot overlooking the Iford Valley. The adaptable layout includes three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, a bright conservatory, and a generous living room with a large wood-burning stove. Outdoor life is a key feature: extensive formal gardens, a fenced productive orchard with a licensed stall, elevated terrace, riverside pontoon and notable river wildlife.
Practical, modern upgrades sit alongside period character. Solar panels (2022) with battery storage and dedicated optic fibre deliver low-running costs and fast broadband. The property benefits from a prolific spring-fed water supply (borehole backup) and double glazing; mains electricity, private drainage and oil-fired central heating remain in place. Parking for two cars plus additional visitor spaces are available; the drive is owned but maintenance is shared with neighbours.
Notable considerations are presented plainly: the house sits in a medium flood-risk area close to the river; heating is oil-based and the property uses private drainage. Council Tax Band E and EPC C reflect the energy profile despite recent solar installation. A further c.5 acres of paddock with shelters and water is available separately, offering potential for smallholding use or equestrian interest.
This home suits buyers seeking a peaceful country lifestyle with strong connectivity to Freshford and Bath (GWR links), families wanting good local primary schooling, or buyers looking for a productive smallholding with immediate move-in presentation but scope for further modernisation where desired.
