Description

Property Description - Guide Price: £425,000 - £450,000.
Believed to have originally been built as workers' cottages, 1 The Barton is a charming period home that blends character with modern comfort. Situated in one of the Chew Valley's most desirable villages, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside while remaining within easy reach of Bristol, Wells and Chew Magna.

The sitting room is full of warmth and character, centred around a wood-burning stove that creates a cosy focal point during the colder months. A useful under-stairs cupboard provides additional storage, while the room enjoys plenty of natural light.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen is both stylish and practical, finished with slate flooring and fitted with a gas range cooker. There is space for a dining table, fridge freezer and dishwasher, together with a utility cupboard providing plumbing for a washing machine. French doors open directly onto the timber deck, creating an easy connection between the house and garden during the warmer months.

Also on the ground floor is a new, contemporary shower room, while a separate reception area provides space an ideal for boots and coats and a stable door gives side access to the garden.

The first floor includes three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully refitted en suite bathroom. There is a further double bedroom and a charming single bedroom with an arched window. The layout upstairs could easily be reconfigured to create an family bathroom.

Above, the fully boarded attic is accessed via a loft ladder and includes a Velux window. Currently used as valuable additional storage space, it enjoys wonderful elevated views across the surrounding countryside towards the lake and as far as Wales. Subject to any necessary consents, it presents exciting potential for conversion into an additional bedroom.

Outside: The cottage has a pretty and established garden enjoying sunny south and west-facing aspects. A generous timber deck provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, which then steps down to a brick-paved area and the lawn which is bordered by mature planting. A brick-paved seating area and a traditional stone outbuilding add further character and practicality, while rear access provides space for a small car or useful storage.

Set within a thriving village community, with exceptional countryside on the doorstep and excellent access to both Wells and Bristol, 1 The Barton is a delightful period cottage that combines character, versatility and a wonderful village lifestyle.


Location:
Located in the sought-after village of Compton Martin, this charming cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy everything the Chew Valley has to offer. Renowned for its beautiful countryside and relaxed rural lifestyle, the area is ideal for walking, cycling and exploring, with fishing on nearby Blagdon Lake and sailing at Chew Valley Lake both close at hand.

Compton Martin has a thriving community with a busy calendar of events throughout the year. The popular Ring O' Bells is much more than a village pub, hosting festivals, family fun days and community gatherings, while St Michael's Church and the village hall provide the setting for a variety of social events that bring residents together. Despite its peaceful setting, the village remains within easy reach of Bristol, Wells and Bath, making it an ideal location for those seeking village life without feeling isolated.

The vibrant city of Bristol lies just seven miles to the north, while the historic city of Bath, famed for its Georgian architecture and Roman heritage, is under half an hour’s drive to the east. To the south, the charming city of Wells, has a thriving community with a magnificent Cathedral and a wide range of amenities. For commuters, the motorway network is accessible at Clevedon (J20), St Georges (J21) and Edithmead (J22). Bristol International Airport is close by, and mainline rail connections are available from Weston-super-Mare, Yatton and Bristol.
