Summary - HERRIOTTS BRIDGE COTTAGE BATH ROAD WEST HARPTREE BRISTOL BS40 6HN
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious plot, gated parking and outstanding lake views near Bath and Bristol.
Five bedrooms plus separate one-bedroom annexe
Set on approximately half an acre overlooking Chew Valley Lake, Herriotts Bridge Cottage is a spacious five-bedroom detached home plus a separate one-bedroom annexe. The property delivers flexible accommodation across about 2,500 sq ft, with large gardens, gated parking and far-reaching lake and countryside views — a rare package so close to Bath and Bristol. The annexe offers genuine multigenerational or rental potential.
Internally the house is generous and well laid out: dual-aspect principal bedroom with en-suite, multiple reception rooms including a conservatory, and a kitchen with adjoining utility/wet room. Modern services include a ground-source heat pump and underfloor heating. The plot is private and productive, with lawns, patio areas, vegetable beds and espalier fruit trees.
Important practical points: the vendor describes the property as needing renovation and scope for modernisation throughout, so some updating and finishing will be required. Energy performance is modest (E) and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working. Council Tax (Band F) and private drainage/utility arrangements are additional running costs to factor in.
This home will appeal to families wanting space and views, buyers seeking an income stream from the annexe, or those prepared to invest in sensitive updating to create a spectacular lakeside home. Chain-free sale and excellent commuter links to Bristol, Bath and Wells add further convenience.
