Woolverton, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Getting its name from the beautiful rural views it enjoys over Somerset fields and towards Wiltshire’s Westbury White Horse, Meadow View is a stunning period cottage sitting in the heart of Woolverton.

With its pretty frontage demonstrating that it was originally two cottages, the semi-detached property has undergone sympathetic modernisation to offer comfort and convenience. Laid out over three floors, four bedrooms can be found on the first and lower ground floors, with a fifth room, currently used as a loft-style hideaway, on the second floor. Well laid out, the ground floor also plays host to a generous, light-filled kitchen/diner and separate sitting room which includes a recently installed wood burner, a study, a utility, and a cloakroom. The property has one en-suite shower room and a family bathroom situated on the first floor. The current owner explains what attracted him to the property: 'It was the surrounding countryside, the beautiful appearance of the outside of the building, the lovely garden with a vegetable patch, fruit trees, and the privacy. It also has lots of parking space and very good transport links.' Situated for easy access to Bath, Frome, several other market towns, and picturesque villages, there are also a wealth of welcoming pubs, farm shops, and notable attractions within easy reach, making this a great location to enjoy a country lifestyle while feeling well-connected. ‘It’s a friendly area to live in, with a range of activities, from a village choir to drama groups, in Rode, Norton St. Philip, and Beckington, as well as the monthly independent market in Frome.’ For education, there are primary schools in Rode (0.8 miles) and Beckington (1.8 miles), with secondary schools in Frome (4 miles) and renowned private schools in and around Bath (10 miles).

‘The house has a very practical layout and is always filled with light. Living in this house is a joy, and every new visitor insists on a tour to admire its features.’

‘Enveloped by fields often frequented by sheep or cows, the garden has given me lots of pleasure, from growing vegetables and flowers to enjoying different areas for sitting and relaxing.’

‘The brick-based greenhouse and double garage both come with mains water and electricity. The garage is good for storage and would make a great workshop.’

‘The neighbours are wonderful, and we often share impromptu meals and coffees together.’

‘The house lines up east-west, so there are some wonderful sunrises.’
