Midford Road, Midford, Bath

Description

The Moorings is a late Georgian Grade II listed detached property thought to have been constructed for the Somerset Coal Canal Company and as the name suggests used as a Toll House for the canal. It sits next to the Midford Brook in the desired village of Midford within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Accommodation

You approach the property across a balcony and enter through the front door into the hallway. The hallway provides access to the sitting room, dining room, kitchen and stairs to the lower and upper floors. The property has recently been fitted with extensive secondary glazing throughout, installed to provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance.
The sitting room is a light room with 16-pane wooden sash windows letting natural light in with feature log burner fireplace and shelves and cupboard to the alcove. The dining room is another light dual aspect room with Bath stone surround fireplace and cupboard to the alcove.

Externally

A short lane from Midford Road leads to the rear of the house allowing vehicle access through a wooden electric gate to driveway parking up to three vehicles. There is a stone laid patio seating area which overlooks the garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with established beds, shrubs and small trees. There is a store room with an old WC and a wooden built storage shed. A short walk from the house takes you to the Two Tunnels cycle/walk path to the city and a plethora of countryside walks.

Location

Midford is a quaint Cotswold village approximately 3 miles (5 km) miles south east of Bath. The Cam and Wellow Brooks merge in Midford to form the Midford Brook, which then flows down to join the River Avon close to the village of Monkton Combe.
On the hillside above Midford is Midford Castle a late 18th-century folly castle built in the shape of the ace of clubs. The castle was built in 1775 by Henry Disney Roebuck and provides a regal sight in such wonderful woodland surroundings. To the west of the village is upper Midford. Here in 1995 plans were made to create a new plantation to be known as Millennium wood. In 2000, land between Midford, Southstoke, and Combe Hay was prepared and planted with a variety of native trees and shrubs.
