Slait Cottage is a charming three-bedroom detached cottage set on an elevated plot at the edge of Bleadon, with far-reaching countryside views and a large private garden. The house combines traditional character — sandstone/limestone walls and a red-tiled roof — with light-filled rooms and a sizeable farmhouse-style kitchen. A private gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking for several cars.
Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), and two bathrooms across approximately 1,347 sq ft of living space. The property sits in an affluent, low-crime rural setting with good road links (M5 nearby) and local village amenities including a shop, post office and pub; primary schooling rated Good is close by.
Notable considerations: the original stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the EPC is D66, so some thermal improvements could be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important for home working. The cottage dates from before 1900 and, while well-proportioned, may benefit from selective updating or insulating works rather than a full refurbishment.
Overall, Slait Cottage suits buyers seeking a character home with scope to improve energy performance and connectivity, who value rural tranquillity, generous outdoor space and easy access to local services and transport links.
