Description

Imagine your own distinctive country cottage, nestled within a country lane at the head of approximately 1.6 acres of mature gardens and grazing, just one and a half miles from Thornbury High Street, east of the A38. This charming semi-detached character home boasts an elevated position above the lane, offering views across the railway cutting and out to open farmland beyond. The well-established gardens spread to the side and rear, featuring a practical workshop and a garden room or studio. Behind the home, there's a field where the current owners have raised livestock. The cottage itself houses three bedrooms, separate bath and shower facilities, a compact fitted kitchen and a dining room equipped with a range. For cozy evenings in, there's a snug ideal for unwinding with a book beside the crackling wood-burning stove. A glass-enclosed passageway leads to triple-aspect living room, complete with a vaulted ceiling and a welcoming open fireplace. The generous space, both inside and out, affords everyone the freedom to indulge in their hobbies and interests. From crafting in the garden room, tinkering in the workshop, growing some veg to perhaps rearing sheep in the field, this unique and captivating home offers endless possibilities. And with countryside walks starting right at your doorstep, it represents an opportunity that's too good to pass up!

Thornbury is a thriving market town to the north of the City of Bristol and the M4/M5 interchange, with excellent commuting links via the motorway network and by rail from Bristol Parkway Station(Paddington/South Wales). The High Street offers a wide variety of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Other facilities include the leisure centre, golf course and library, plus open community spaces, parks and sports grounds. The town is blessed by a number of primary/junior schools, plus The Castle secondary school (www.the castleschool.org.uk) adjacent to Thornbury’s Tudor Castle, a luxury hotel.
