High Street, Marshfield

Marshfield is a vibrant, cultured and historic village in the Cotswolds that is convenient for Bath, Bristol and commuting further afield via the M4. The historic High Street is like walking back in time with a rich history linked to malting barley for ale and was the first stage coach stop from Bristol to London. The village has facilities suiting both young couples and retired grandparents as well as everyone in between. There is an array of pubs, cafes and tea shops. The flat countryside to the north and rolling hills to the south are fabulous for walkers, runners and cyclists alike. Sports include the popular local cricket club.

The period G2 Listed characterful home is thought to date back to the 1820s and lies in the heart of the village on the High Street. The sitting room is delightful with a wood burning stove in stone fireplace, period sash window, and wood flooring. There is a very useful storage space under the stairs and access to the kitchen. The kitchen has been lovingly upgraded with a wonderful sustainable 'Woodstock Kitchen' that provides plenty of preparation space and storage with amazing flagstone floors. There is space for breakfast table, a useful integrated slimline dishwasher, and electrical outlet to have a microwave plugged in one of the cupboards. The window above the kitchen sink looks out to the rear.

A hidden delight in the property is found down some easy steps into the cellar. This would be a perfect place for fantastic dinner parties, space for the wine enthusiast, and storage.

There are maturing espalied fruit trees and climbing roses around the edge with raised borders.
