High Street, Batheaston, BA1

Dating from the mid-18th Century, this former coachman’s/gardener’s cottage is only attached at the rear to the garages of Batheaston House. It has been extensively updated and extended to offer the current layout over three floors that includes a potential ground floor bedroom suite with wet room. The front door opens to the primary reception room with a slate floor and French doors to the garden. Open stairs ascend to the upper floor with further steps flanking a feature wall to the kitchen. Fitted in a modern, contemporary style with a comprehensive range of cabinets on three sides including integrated appliances and space for a large fridge freezer. Returning to the reception room, a doorway and slate floor continue to the family dining room with a wood burner to one corner and a deep window looking over the garden. From here, doors open to the wing extension with a utility cupboard and a shallow flight of steps down to a further bedroom suite. With an exposed feature stone wall and tiled flooring, a sliding door opens to the garden and a large roof light adds to the natural light of this room. A modern fitted and fully tiled wet room adds the benefit of using this area as a guest suite or reception room as required. On the first floor, a wooden floored landing has an airing cupboard and access to each of the three bedrooms. The largest is vaulted with deep windows offering a view of the "Secret Garden" and an ornamental fireplace. The second bedroom is also vaulted, and both are served by a luxurious bathroom with egg bath in addition to a separate shower cubicle. The third bedroom has a space saver staircase up to an attic bathroom also with slate floor, Velux, and storage.
