Set in the picturesque village of Norton St. Philip, this stone-built three-bedroom cottage offers immediate occupation with no onward chain. Its compact footprint and period features suit first-time buyers, professionals seeking a country base, or investors looking for a value-add rental. The layout is practical across two storeys with cosy living space, a simple kitchen and one family bathroom.
Outside, a small easily-managed garden and a substantial stone workshop with power are standout extras. The outbuilding could provide secure storage, a home office or a hobby workshop; any change of use or conversion would require planning consent. The property benefits from double glazing fitted since 2002 and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
The cottage is authentic and solid but not fully modernised. The original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so there may be opportunities and costs to improve thermal efficiency. The interior would respond well to selective updating to kitchens, bathrooms and decorative finishes to maximise comfort and value.
Location is a strong selling point: village amenities, pubs and a primary school are within walking distance, while Bath, Bradford-on-Avon and good rail links are nearby for commuters. On-street parking is available without permit restrictions, and the area shows low crime and an affluent, rural character.
