This one-bedroom Victorian cottage in the heart of Box offers immediate charm and easy village living. The cosy sitting room centres on a Bath stone fireplace with an inset log burner, while sash windows and original features give genuine period character. The compact kitchen opens via a stable door to a sunny south-easterly garden with patio, lawn and a useful stone outbuilding.
Practical for a first home, pied-à-terre or buy-to-let, the layout is traditionally cottage-sized with steep, winding stairs to a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an original fireplace. The period-style bathroom has a shower over the bath and some concealed storage. The property is freehold and offered chain-free, making for a straightforward purchase.
Buyers should note the house is small (approx. 427 sq ft) with a very small plot and on-street parking only; there is a right of access across neighbouring properties. As an older, uninsulated stone-built cottage, it may benefit from sympathetic insulation and updating to improve energy efficiency. Despite these limitations, the garden, character features and central village location are strong positives.
Box village amenities are all within walking distance — shops, pubs, a sought-after primary school and regular buses to Bath. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical appeal. This property suits someone looking for a characterful, low-maintenance base close to Bath and countryside walks rather than a large family home.
