Description

Quarry Farm Cottage enjoys an exceptional location on the edge of the sought-after village of Wick, positioned equidistant between the historic city of Bath (6 miles) and the vibrant centre of Bristol (9 miles). The surrounding landscape, part of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers a superb blend of rural charm and modern convenience.

The village itself offers a friendly and well-served community with a convenience store, village pub, sports ground, and an active village hall. For families, there is a local primary school within walking distance, and several highly regarded independent schools are easily accessible. The picturesque village of Doynton, just 1 mile away, further enhances the area’s appeal with its timeless charm, welcoming pub The Cross House, and active community. The surrounding countryside, including the tranquil Golden Valley and the soon-to-be nature reserve at Wick Quarry, offers outstanding walking, bird watching, and equestrian opportunities. The National Trust’s Dyrham Park is also within easy reach.

Foremost among the area’s educational offerings is Kingswood School in nearby Bath—a prestigious co-educational day and boarding school, set within 120 acres of beautiful grounds. Founded in 1748, Kingswood offers outstanding academic, sporting, and artistic provision from nursery through to sixth form, and is consistently rated ‘Excellent’ in all areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. The school is located just a 10-minute drive away, on the north-eastern outskirts of Bath.

Transport links are excellent, with the A420 providing direct routes into both Bath and Bristol, and the M4 motorway (J18) just 6 miles away—ideal for those commuting to London or the wider South West.
Lovingly and meticulously renovated by the current owners, Quarry Farm Cottage is presented in immaculate, turn-key condition. This detached period home, believed to date from circa 1850, has been thoughtfully extended and updated throughout to offer a seamless blend of original character and contemporary comfort.

The ground floor centres around a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family room—an impressive and sociable space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A central island, AEG integrated appliances, and full-width bi-fold doors open onto the rear terrace and landscaped gardens, creating a highly versatile and inviting heart to the home. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, providing warmth and comfort throughout.

To the front, the elegant sitting room features a wood-burning stove and lit alcoves, providing a cosy retreat. A practical utility room and a stylish cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite offers a true sanctuary—elegantly proportioned and thoughtfully appointed with a bespoke dressing room and a beautifully finished en suite shower room. Two additional double bedrooms, a versatile fourth bedroom or study, and a stylish family bathroom complete the first floor, delivering both comfort and flexibility for modern family living.

The property also enjoys a substantial loft space, which is currently excellent for storage but also offers superb potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
The home benefits from smart Nest heating throughout, offering intuitive temperature control and energy efficiency. It is offered to the market with no onward chain, presenting a rare opportunity for a smooth and timely purchase.

The property is approached via an impressive private driveway, offering generous parkingacross two smartly laid gravelled areas, complemented by an integrated double garage. Within the garage, a well-appointed utility area includes a sink, washing machine, tumble dryer, and ample storage—combining practicality with convenience as well as the added benefit of EV charging intergration.

To the front, a gently sloping lawn is framed by mature planting and neatly tended borders, creating an inviting and picturesque first impression. The rear garden is a particular highlight—expertly landscaped and arranged over three thoughtfully designed tiers. A sun terrace, accessed directly from the kitchen, provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, while manicured lawns and richly planted beds offer colour and interest throughout the seasons. A charming garden store, equipped with power and lighting, provides additional functionality.

In total, the grounds extend to approximately 0.40 acres, delivering a wonderful sense of privacy, peace, and a manageable slice of country living.

Quarry Farm Cottage is a rare find—combining rural charm, refined interiors, and an outstanding location—ready to welcome its next chapter.
