Manor Cottage - Bath and Longleat? Cosy restored farm cottage
Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden
On the Wiltshire/Somerset border, tucked away down a little country lane overlooking open countryside is this delightful listed farm cottage, dating back to 1652. Converted from the cheese room attached to the farmhouse, the cottage has undergone complete refurbishment in 2007.
It is tastefully furnished and well equipped, making this a super relaxing holiday home in a perfect, peaceful location, yet close to local amenities. The cottage provides an ideal touring base with Bath, Longleat and Stourhead estates nearby and the historic town of Bradford on Avon is only 4 miles away where canal boatrips offer a relaxing way to meander through the countryside.
Manor Cottage is the former cheese room to Manor Farm, and is attached to the main farm house by the entrance hall only. The cottage is a sunny, newly refurbished 2 bedroom bolt hole in the Wiltshire countryside. The cottage has a tiled entrance vestibule, leading through to the large sunny lounge, with log burning stove for those chillier nights and a dining alcove. Many of the furnishings are antique. The newly fitted bathroom has a separate bath and shower cubicle.
The kitchen is also newly fitted with all modern conveniences including microwave, dishwasher and washing machine/dryer. The floor is tiled and has underfloor heating. The bedrooms are light and airy - one is a double with a fitted wardrobe and the other is a twin. Outside is a patio area with garden furniture and BBQ.
Guests have exclusive use of the paddock area opposite. The cottage is situated down the end of a no through lane which leads directly onto bridle paths. It is secluded but not remote. The nearest shop is at the top of the lane, and further facilities (large Tesco Extra superstore) is just 3 miles away. Bath is 12 miles, the delightful Bradford on Avon just 5 miles, Longleat is 10 miles. We are surrounded by many excellent gastro pubs.
