Clays End, Newton St Loe, Bath

The property comprises a substantial detached stone built period cottage with the majority of the accommodation across two floors and a smaller single storey section to one side. The property has been let until recent times and now offers an opportunity for refurbishment and extension to take full advantage of the delightful situation within a plot of 0.67 acres enjoying rural views.

The existing property comprises an entrance hall, two reception rooms, kitchen, small conservatory, utility room and downstairs shower room with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Planning consent was granted earlier in 2025 (under ref 24/01537/FUL Bath & North East Somerset Council) to extend the property to provide an entrance hall, utility room with cloak/wc, large open plan kitchen/dining and family room and snug/office on the ground floor with four double bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms. The consent also includes the installation of air source heat pump, ground solar array and detached timber garage.

The property enjoys an enviable situation on the southern edge of the unspoiled village of Newton St Loe where the sale of freehold property is genuinely an extremely rare opportunity. The village has a parish church, and very popular farm shop and café both a short walk from the property. The village of Saltford which is close by offers a wider range of day to day amenities, while the City of Bath is only 3 miles to the east.
