Set on the edge of the Cotswolds AONB, this Grade II converted farm building blends period character with usable family living space. The property offers three double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en‑suite), an open-plan kitchen/dining room and principal living spaces that open onto a mature, level garden — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Practical strengths include a fully equipped Shaker-style kitchen refitted in 2023, private parking for three cars, a garage and a detached outbuilding with electrics suitable as a home office, gym or studio. The home is tucked in a quiet hamlet with easy road and bus access to Bath (around six miles), strong local schools and ample countryside walking from your doorstep.
Buyers should note the house requires further renovation and modernisation to reach its full potential. Its Grade II listing will restrict certain alterations and may complicate some works. Heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, the walls are traditional stone (likely uninsulated) and broadband speeds are very slow — factors to budget for when planning upgrades. Council tax is relatively high.
This is a strong opportunity for a family seeking a characterful rural home within commuting reach of Bath, or for buyers wanting a sympathetic renovation project that preserves period features while adding modern comfort.
