Summary - CROFTON COTTAGE BATH ROAD SWINEFORD BRISTOL BS30 6LW
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family home with exceptional river views and large secure plot.
South‑west facing riverside garden with landing stage and elevated decking
Crofton Cottage is a spacious, beautifully presented period home set on an exceptional 0.32-acre riverside plot overlooking Swineford Lock and the River Avon. The house blends character features—stone façade, exposed charm and period proportions—with modern comforts including recently upgraded interiors, double glazing and ultrafast broadband. South-west facing level gardens, a paved river terrace, landing stage and hot tub create a strong lifestyle appeal for families who enjoy outdoor living, boating and wildlife.
The versatile layout includes three reception rooms plus a garden room, a ground-floor double bedroom (currently used as a study) and three first-floor double bedrooms served by a bathroom and shower room. Practical fixtures include a fitted kitchen with Rangemaster cooker, separate utility, downstairs cloakroom and gas-fired boiler supplying radiators. Secure block-paved parking, an electric sliding gate and a large double garage (potential to convert, subject to consent) add functional value.
Important practical points: the property lies in Flood Zone 3 and has experienced occasional flooding, although it is currently insured for flood risk. The cottage is an older stone construction (pre-1900) with walls that may have limited insulation; some buyers may want to budget for additional thermal improvements. Council Tax is currently in Band F, and the vendor is motivated to sell.
This home will suit families seeking a distinctive riverside residence within easy reach of Bath (about 5 miles) and Bristol (about 8 miles), and those looking for a property that already offers high-quality presentation with scope for further sympathetic updating or adaptation to meet changing needs.
