To the left is a snug, with a display window and cupboard underneath, with original exposed upright timbers and steps leading down to a sitting room. With a central fireplace with wood burner, beamed ceiling and shelving, a window looks out to the canal at the front. To the rear is a practical hobby room with terracotta tiled floor and access to a storeroom with meters and wall heater.

The family room area has a canal view and opens to the kitchen as well as to the dining area. This is triple aspect with doors opening to a large, paved terrace, screened from the canal with trellising and planting. A low-level wall divides the rear reception area, with doors from the rear garden and steps to the parking area. The kitchen is well-appointed with granite worktops, a butler sink, and a twin hob electric Aga. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer with a pantry cupboard built-in below the stairs. A utility room has matching units, a sink and plumbing for appliances with a boiler and cloakroom beyond this.

A glazed door opens to a fabulous roof terrace with glass balustrade and access to a home studio with vaulted roof line, north and east aspects.

Outside

The natural wooded surrounds of the property cleverly combine wild planting, along with more formal gardens and comprehensive paved terracing. Offering extensive parking from a sweeping drive that leads to a detached double width car port. There is a large timber garden store and attached workshop with power and light. There is also a further shed, vegetable garden and a number of fruit trees adding to the appeal. Mooring can be applied for via Canal & River Trust for a fee as the canal bank does not form part of the demise.

Situation

Murhill, is a small area within the Conservation Area of National Landscapes (formerly known as AONB) of the Limpley Stoke Valley, through which runs the river Avon and Kennet & Avon canal. Historically, the nearby quarries used the natural slope of the hills to transport the stone to the canal barges, long since disused to make this a delightful sylvan idyll. The nearby village of Winsley with primary school and Hartley Farm Shop & Kitchen, then leads to the charming town of Bradford on Avon for larger shopping needs. There are too many local footpaths to mention, all taking advantage of the glorious surrounding countryside. The Historic city of Bath is less than 6 miles drive away with its wealth of cultural and leisure facilities as well as extensive shopping.
