Description
Property Description: Guide Price: £650,000 - £675,000. Batch Cottage is an attractive character cottage in an idyllic village setting, with views towards the historic Norman church and duck pond and a strong sense of community on the doorstep. Full of period detail, the cottage has well-proportioned rooms, three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a west-facing walled garden.
The property is believed to be one of the village’s notable historic homes, with exposed stonework, flagstone flooring and traditional-style radiators adding to its character. The substantial stone walls help keep the cottage cool in summer, while the fire in the main reception room creates a cozy focal point through the winter.
A stable front door opens into the entrance hall, where the original flagstone floor immediately sets the tone. The generous sized main sitting and dining room is a particularly appealing space, with French oak flooring reclaimed from a French château, a bay window, built-in shelving and cupboard storage, together with a gas fire.
Steps rise from the hall to the kitchen, which has lovely views across the village duck pond and towards the surrounding valley. There are granite worktops, an induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine/drier and breakfast bar, with a painted stone wall adding further character.
Steps down from the hall lead to a further reception room with a west-facing bay window. Currently suited as a study or playroom, its position and proportions also give flexibility for occasional guest accommodation.
At the far end of the cottage is a good sized ground floor shower room, with a stable door opening directly out to the garden.
Upstairs are three comfortable double bedrooms. Two have fitted or built-in wardrobes, while another has ample space to add fitted storage. One of the bedrooms has a particularly attractive outlook towards the church. The family bathroom is a substantial room with a wrought iron clawfoot bath and space to incorporate a separate shower if required.
Outside: The west-facing walled garden is mainly laid to lawn and provides a private place to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. A new garden shed provides useful storage, with a further area behind the cottage suitable for bicycles and other outdoor equipment. There is driveway parking for one car, with additional on-road parking available within the village.
Location: The setting is a significant part of the appeal of Batch Cottage. The cottage sits within sight of the village duck pond and Norman church, while an award-winning pub and a choice of countryside walks are close by.
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, Bath and Wells 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.
