Description
Description
A stunning, period home with the most fabulous and well-maintained gardens set in the heart of the idyllic village of Queen Charlton. Originally part of the Queen Charlton estate, this is the first time the property has been for sale on the open market in its 340 year history.
The property is set back from the road and accessed via a garden path leading up the level lawned front garden. The parking is all at the front and consists of a single garage with electrics and further off-street parking for circa three cars.
There is a charming front door and stone porch to the front of the property but the day-to-day access is via a David Salisbury conservatory to the rear of the property. The conservatory has underfloor heating and is used on a daily basis by the current owners as a dining and living room with stunning views over the gardens.
Through the conservatory is the kitchen which has a farmhouse style and includes a range of timber units and spot lighting. Off the kitchen is a utility with shower, toilet and wash basin. Next door is a charming dining room with a working Victorian fireplace with timber mantel, an ideal room for more formal dining. This room leads on to the front door hall. Also off the kitchen is an exceptionally cosy and charming sitting room complete with exposed oak beams, window seat and a stunning Inglenook fireplace with the original bread oven as well as a modern log burner and flue (fitted Dec 2020). The original beam over the fireplace still has etched witches' marks to ward off evil spirits!
Upstairs are three bedrooms arranged off the landing. Beds one and two look out over the front elevation whilst bedroom three looks out over the rear. All bedrooms are decent doubles and carpeted with ample built in storage. The bedrooms are serviced by a light and spacious family bathroom
The house benefits from Truespeed internet, a home alarm system and has been well maintained over the years with recent works completed to the roof, pointing, chimneys and windows.
The gardens are what make Cross Cottage truly exceptional and make up a natural paradise of level lawns, fruit trees, mature shrubs and well stocked beds. The garden is mature and landscaped into separate areas. The land used to be part of an orchard and three of the old apple trees (cooking apples) can be seen in the front garden.
There is also a pod (installed 2019) with electrics, insulated and double glazed with remote control lighting, ideal for a home office or hobby room. There are a couple of flagstone terraces, perfect for drinks or dining al fresco. At the far end of the garden is a delightful pond with a waterfall, workshop, summer house, garden shed, Robinson’s Royale greenhouse and a vegetable plot.
Location
Queen Charlton is a small village located just southwest of Keynsham, originally named after Catherine Parr who was given the manor by her husband King Henry VIII. Dominating the centre of this quaint west country village is the beautiful St Margaret’s Church. The property has a central village location and overlooks the village green and stone cross, with views of the 12th century church.
The property is located just 6 miles from Bath and approximately 5 miles south east from Bristol. Shops and other amenities are available at nearby Keynsham including main line rail services to both cities and providing a direct link to London Paddington.
The M4 motorway can be swiftly accessed via the A4174 dual carriageway that runs immediately to the north of the Keynsham bypass and Bristol Airport is approximately 10 miles distant.
