Nestled on the fringes of open countryside, Corston is a picturesque Somerset village just four miles west of Bath, combining rural tranquillity with superb access to the city and nearby Bristol. Set within the Duchy of Cornwall's Newton Park Estate, the village is surrounded by gently rolling farmland and leafy lanes, with the Corston Brook meandering through its heart. A well-kept village playing field provides a lovely green space for recreation, bordered by mature trees and footpaths that connect to scenic countryside walks. The village church, All Saints', dates back to medieval times, and together with the friendly local community, hall, and nearby farm shop and café, creates a charming and timeless rural atmosphere.
Tucked discreetly at the end of a quiet no-through road, in a small group of barn conversions, with views towards the Cotswold Way hills, lies this stone-fronted detached cottage, offered for sale with no onward chain.
Exposed stone walls, a feature fireplace, and deep window sills combine to create characterful and inviting accommodation throughout. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully extended on the ground floor with two single-storey additions: one to the side, housing the bathroom and utility room, and another to the front, providing a delightful additional reception room with views and direct access onto the garden.
The original sitting room, complete with feature fireplace, opens through to the fitted kitchen, which offers a comprehensive range of units and integrated appliances.
A spiral staircase, hidden behind a door in the lounge, leads to the first floor landing and two double bedrooms, each with fitted furniture. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite cloakroom, providing first floor facilities in addition to the main ground floor bathroom.
Externally, the space, double garage, and parking are unrivalled. The beautiful gardens, cultivated over decades, enjoy a southerly aspect and open views. Predominantly laid to level lawn, the gardens also feature attractive seating areas ideal for outdoor dining. The large workshop/shed provides an ideal space for those with green fingers to enjoy gardening in this wonderfully peaceful setting, or it could be developed further into a home office. A filled-in pond and water feature add to the charm, creating a focal point within the landscape, while all boundary and terrace walls have been carefully built and immaculately maintained, reflecting the care and attention given to every detail of this much-loved home.
The property has been further enhanced by the addition of a detached double storey garage, measuring approximately 6m x 5.5m. Pedestrian and up-and-over vehicle doors provide access, while a staircase leads to the first floor. The garage is fitted with power and light, and has been used in various ways over time currently offering secure parking, storage, a utility area, and workshop space. The first floor could easily serve as a large home office or studio, while maintaining parking and storage below. To the front, a gated driveway provides ample off street parking for several vehicles.
