Property description

Situated on the glorious rural outskirts, just under 4 miles west of Bath is Kelston, a quintessentially English village that is awash with attractive period homes. One such property is Tower Cottage, a beautiful stone-built house that is thought to date back to around 1745. It began life as a small two-up-two-down estate cottage, but over the years it has been greatly and sympathetically extended and modernised and so is now a very spacious and hugely characterful family home with four bedrooms, three reception rooms, three bathrooms, off-street parking for five cars and a double garage.The house has a traditional layout and style with all of the rooms being generously proportioned. There is a good-sized kitchen with walk-in larder and a characterful living room that features exposed beams and a wonderful inglenook fireplace that retains the original bread oven. The dining room, which flows through from the living room, is particularly spacious. The vendors say: “The dining room has provided the perfect backdrop for many large family get-togethers. This is a charming home which has a very comfortable and cosy feel throughout.”“There’s a large garden that backs on to open countryside. The garden has been lovingly cared for with well-stocked flower beds, lawns, a thriving vegetable patch, fruit cages and a pretty orchard of apple, plum, walnut and mulberry trees. Beyond the orchard is a small field. There are spectacular unbroken views of Kelston park and the rolling countryside beyond.”“Back in the house, the sun-room has sunlight streaming through large windows throughout the day. This is a wonderfully relaxing place to sit and admire the garden and the array of wildlife.”“A beautiful summerhouse has been erected in the garden in a spot that enjoys a spectacular panorama. It is a delightful place to sit and relax and soak in the glorious views of the countryside.”“Kelston is a lovely village with a great community. There is a large fete once a year with many traditional stalls such as cheese rolling and welly throwing. We also have a really good pub, the Old Crown, which has new owners, a good selection of beers and wonderful food. The award-winning Bath Soft Cheese Co. has a shop and cafe in Kelston. The village hall is actively used for many of the usual village activities. There are also stunning walks around the village, as well as excellent access to Bath with all its unique shops, theatre, galleries and museums.”
