Rose Cottage, Radstock, BA3

This is an amazing opportunity to purchase a superb and unique country home, in a quiet position with wonderful views across farmland and countryside towards Bath. If you fancy living the country dream with fresh eggs from your own chickens, deer grazing at the bottom of the garden and calves peering over the stone wall in the spring this could well be the home for you!

Highlights include :

2.7 metre wide, oak framed, glazed bi-fold doors open up views to the lower part of Chilcompton and across the valley in the direction of Bath, the lounge is filled with light and the interior and external environments feel very much integrated.

Hardwood Decking adds even more usability to the bi-fold doors.
A hardwood decking platform sits immediately outside of the bi-fold doors located at the rear of the lounge and provides the perfect position to take in the superb view.

A Bath stone fireplace; surround, mantle and hearth. Supplied by Curtis Fireplaces this beautiful feature has been hand carved by a master stone mason from locally sourced Superior Bath Stone. The fireplace is completed by a Jetmaster open fire. Offering stunning looks, performance and efficiency, arguably this is the pinnacle of open fireplaces and compliments the Bath Stone surround perfectly.
