South StokeBath, BA2 7DX

Packhorse Cottage is a fine, period country house situated in the highly desirable Conservation village of South Stoke.

The property enjoys a private setting near the heart of the village with the benefit of unspoilt views from the house across the neighbouring countryside and farmland.

Built in attractive stone, the property offers 2,355 sq ft of relatively versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.

There are many period features including fireplaces (which are either open or have an inset wood burner), exposed beams, shuttered windows and a fine elm staircase.

The accommodation comprises a spacious sitting room with a feature fireplace and open views, a generous dining room, a kitchen large enough to take a family breakfast table, a family/second reception room with an elegant woodburner and a study.

Also on the ground floor is a practical utility area and cloakroom.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom with large en suite, four further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room.

OUTSIDE
The property is situated in an elevated position just below the village centre with open southerly views across the neighbouring countryside and towards Hodds Hill.

The property is accessed via a long driveway from the bottom of Old School Hill or via a pedestrian pathway alongside the churchyard down from the village square.

The total plot size is about 0.41 acres. The main garden is terraced with a large level lawn leading off the house, which enjoys open country views and provides an ideal outdoor entertaining area.

There is a pathway down to a lower lawn area, which could be a useful play area and below that is a wilder orchard area. The driveway is also located here with parking and turning space, as well as a detached double garage.

To the rear of the property is a large vegetable garden enclosed by an attractive stone wall.
