Welcome to Keystone Cottage in Cold Ashton. Originally two separate stone cottages, now connected via a two storey extension, this large charming 3/4 bedroom home offers spacious accommodation with beamed ceilings throughout.
Internally, the main entrance to the rear leads past a useful utility/cloakroom with w/c into the large bright central dining room with solid hardwood sprung floor and south facing sliding doors to the patio and garden beyond. Unique features abound including bespoke wooden shelving, radiator covers, stained glass doors and stair wall all handmade by the current owner.
A bar peninsula separates the open plan dining space from the raised horseshoe shaped bespoke handmade solid wooden kitchen, with worktops hand carved from single pieces of solid beech. Space is provided for a separate drinks fridge under the bar and full-sized dishwasher, whilst numerous cupboards and shelves offer ample storage, including housing for the gas central heating boiler. A solid hardwood floor completes the rustic charm, whilst dual aspect windows offer glorious views of both the south and west gardens, making this a light and practical space for family gatherings and entertaining.
Double French doors lead down from the dining room into the cosy but spacious 7m x 3.8m living room with dual aspect windows, and huge original inglenook fireplace complete with Villager wood burning stove and space for log storage. A glazed door gives direct access out to a further large covered log store.
Upstairs, the impressive 7m x 3.8m master bedroom suite has a high vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, dual aspect windows, and a generous en-suite shower room with his and hers basins and plenty of built-in storage.
The landing with bespoke handmade handrail leads on to the second double bedroom, well equipped with fitted wardrobes and storage cupboards. An en-suite shower room, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and two large windows overlooking the south facing circular lawn and pond make this a desirable room indeed.
The third double bedroom and en-suite bathroom is accessed by its own private staircase. Two Velux windows flood the room with light whilst the low level window offers a view of the village road below. The downstairs fourth double boasts a stone fireplace and glazed French doors out onto the west patio and walled garden, and offers a multitude of uses as a family room/snug/office or guest room.
Externally, the extensive level gardens which are mainly surrounded by stone walls and benefit from many mature shrubs and trees, have been thoughtfully partitioned into three distinct areas; the main south facing patio and large elevated circular lawn with pond, a west facing patio and walled wildflower garden and huge vegetable patch with raised beds. The garden/potting shed and greenhouse offer further facilities and will be a great asset to any keen gardener.
Sitting in the centre of a very quiet rural village which nestles amongst the Cotswold Hills, in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the greenbelt, Keystone Cottage will appeal to anyone wishing to enjoy this stunning unspoilt countryside. However, as it is also just 5 miles north of the City of Bath, 12 miles east of Bristol and within 5 minutes’ drive of J18 of the M4, it is ideally located for anyone needing quick access onto the motorway or rail network and the private driveway offers parking for two or three cars.
Both internally and externally, the property offers a truly unique opportunity to acquire a comfortable, spacious home replete with both original and bespoke features, complete with extensive stunning mature gardens in an ideal location for both town and country, and early viewing is highly recommended.
