Broad Oak Hill, Dundry

Withey Cottage is a charming dressed stone cottage situated just outside the city boundary in a privileged elevated position. Approached by a generous gravel driveway with ample space for a good number of vehicles and even a caravan or camper van, the property is accessed via a winding stone footpath that descends through the enchanting garden to a spacious entrance hallway to the home. The current vendors have sympathetically remodeled and re-styled the cottage to create a versatile, practical and homely property to enjoy.

The entrance hallway features two small fitted cupboards with plenty of space to decamp muddy boots and cloaks before continuing into the property. From the hallway, internal French doors flow into a captivating sitting/dining room which features a handsome stone fireplace with a woodburning stove, painted stone wall and original beams that are part of the ceiling; the cosy sitting area is wonderful for evenings in, in front of the fire, whilst the dining area has plenty of room for a family sized dining table and features the original period staircase rising to the first floor. Beyond the sitting room a door leads you through to a spacious and versatile reception room which is currently utilised as a double bedroom, and this room features French doors that lead you out to a discrete private courtyard. 

To the opposite end of the entrance hallway you will find a beautifully appointed kitchen which in recent years has been updated but in a traditional shaker style, in keeping with the rustic cottage style of the home. The kitchen features quality wall and base units complemented by an oak counter top. There is a double Belfast sink, space for a Rangemaster style cooker and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer, there is also provision for other white goods. Behind the kitchen cabinets are lovely stone tiles adding even further character. The kitchen window glimpses views out over the surrounding countryside towards Bristol and to the side, French doors lead you out to the garden.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a stylish, recently renovated bathroom which features a chic retro suite including a walk-in shower cubicle with contemporary black fixtures, a beautiful vanity unit with a feature sink and toilet, stunning glazed metro tiles add to the luxurious feel of the bathroom and a large skylight bathes the room in excellent natural light.

Moving onto the first floor you will find the property's remaining two double bedrooms, both beautifully proportioned, the rear room benefits from far reaching views towards the city whilst the front bedroom benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and cosy decor.

Outside, the property's garden is every bit as enchanting as the house itself, meandering gently down the hillside and offering multiple areas to enjoy the peaceful rural setting. Within the garden the mature treeline and privacy is a particular feature, with a vast array of mature trees, plants and seating areas to enjoy. There is space to host visiting guests for summer barbecues and intimate dinner parties, with the glistening backdrop of the city lights at night. There is plenty of space to cultivate your own vegetable garden, rear chicken, harvest the numerous fruit trees (including a bountiful fig tree) or just to simply soak up the serene environment. 

The garden features a number of buildings including a fantastic sized studio/workshop that could be utilised for a number of purposes and includes a woodburning stove, a separate cabin/home office, garden shed and chicken coop. Both the studio/workshop and cabin/home office are fully insulated and have electricity running to them.

What we love about the property: This utterly charming home is just moments from the convenience of the city and yet feels as rural as you could wish for, with character features, an enchanting garden and views you could marvel at for hours!
