4 bed detached house for sale

Gloucester Road, Swainswick, Bath, Somerset BA1

Moorland Cottage is a modern property which dates back to circa 1980. The current owners have been there for over 25 years and have thoroughly enjoyed living there.

On the ground floor, to the left of the central entrance hall, you have the double aspect living room which leads through to the conservatory. To the right, you have the home office and the spacious triple aspect dining room with double sliding doors to the terrace. At the heart of the house is the light and airy kitchen/breakfast room featuring a Stanley range, and amazing views across the neighbouring fields. From here an archway leads through to the utility room. Also on this floor is a cloakroom.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, two further good sized double bedrooms, a smaller double bedroom and the family bathroom.

The property is approached via a small section of shared driveway (with one other property), onto a long private driveway which leads up to a parking area where there is space for four vehicles, in addition to the single garage.

Attached to the garage is an annexe which comprises reception room and bathroom on the ground floor, and a larger room on the first floor. This does require modernisation and renovation throughout, and it could be extended/reconfigured subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The gardens wrap around three sides of the property and are mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature plants and shrubs. Beyond this are paddocks, and a small copse.

In all approximately 3.46 acres. EPC: E.
