An utterly charming period cottage in a private walled garden hidden in the heart of the village.

This charming Grade II Listed detached cottage dates in origin from the 17th Century and is a fine example of rendered and colour washed Witchert construction unique to the locality. The property is completely hidden from sight in a delightful walled garden and must be one of the best kept secrets in the village. The cottage was the home of the Rose family until the late 19th Century, who were prominent Quakers. The current owners have spent the last 15 years meticulously restoring the cottage, creating a truly exceptional home which has clearly been a real labour of love. There are notably good ceiling heights throughout for a cottage of this era.

The focal point of the charming sitting room is the original inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven. The separate dining room also has a pretty fireplace and hearth. The kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively fitted with handmade units. There is a rear hallway/library which has casement doors opening to a lovely walled courtyard, together with a staircase to the first floor and door through to the garages. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom, boot room and utility room.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi bath, opening through to a dressing room/occasional bedroom or nursery. There are two further bedrooms serviced by a shower room.

OUTSIDE
The cottage is approached via a gate in the wall opening into an enchanting walled garden with complete privacy. Laid partly to lawn with well stocked flower borders, mature bushes and shrubs, together with a magnificent willow. There is an original outbuilding which makes a great garden store and log store. To the rear there is a delightful private walled garden which is a real suntrap.

The garaging is reached via a service road off Stokes Croft.
