Gordon Road, Peasedown St John

Vendors comments - "We’ve lived here for 46 years. Somehow the house felt ‘right’ from the moment we walked through the door. Friends and family describe it as ‘walking into a hug.’
It’s changed so much over the years to adapt to family life but never lost its special feeling. It’s a wonderful family home and I hope whoever buys it can feel the love it’s witnessed over the decades."

Apple Tree Cottage is a stylish, period cottage that its current owners have loved over their 46 year ownership. The property has evolved with life, seeing children raised and now grandchildren enjoying the same joys the property brought for their parents. Its wonderful garden is a true oasis, providing seclusion and areas that provide different purposes. Constructed in the Edwardian period the house provides a double fronted design and large rooms throughout, thanks to a double storey rear extension.

Stepping into the property, both living spaces run front to back within the original walls of the property. The lounge is the cosy evening room with an open fireplace offering a focal point and providing structure to the room. The rear section of the lounge has been extended and now offers additional space currently used as a reading area with a large bookcase. To the other side of the property is the kitchen/diner/family room. Again, running front to back with its dual aspect appeal the area is a great daytime room to enjoy. There is seating in front of a stove with dining space separating the kitchen.
The kitchen is a high end addition to the property with stylish and contrasting cabinetry and Silestone worktops that overlook the rear garden. The appliances are high end and integrated into the kitchen. They range from Neff, AEG, Siemens, Bosch and include a five-ring induction hob, dishwasher, microwave, full sized oven and oven/grill. Another wonderful addition is a high specification Quooker tap that provides chilled, boiling and fizzy water. The kitchen ties perfectly to the age of the property, whilst adding a modern touch.
To the rear of the property is an internal lobby leading onto a rear utility and shower room with w/c.

Rising to the first floor the property boasts great sized bedrooms. Two large doubles are located to the front of the property and to the rear an additional great sized double and smaller double room. Bedrooms one and two benefit from additional storage over the stairwell.
The family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation and is a three piece suite with w/c, hand basin and shower over bath. The space again ties beautifully into the age of the property, yet is a modern design offering the best of both worlds.

Throughout, the property offers a wonderful feel with its cosy and stylish appeal making it a great home for a host of buyers. The modern sash windows throughout compliment the age of the property whilst retaining energy efficiency, it is truly the best of both worlds here. 

The rear garden provides a peaceful setting with plenty of mature shrubs, plants and trees adding plenty of personality. A large patio is located off the rear of the property with a pathway sweeping through the garden to a patio at the base of the garden. There are secluded areas for a hot tub and even woodland style play area for the children. With carefully planted trees, the garden is private and not overlooked.
Towards the base of the garden is a rear highlight. A 15'7 x 12'5 garden studio with plenty of windows for daylight and underfloor heating. With power and internet connected, the studio is the most perfect work from home space! Over the years it has been used for many purposes, including work, hosting parties and gym.

Parking is unique and within the Deeds states that you can park a horse and cart at the front of the property! Over the client's ownership, they have freely parked in front of their home and due to the property being located within a quiet street, it is never too busy for guests.

Located within the heart of Peasedown St. John you benefit from being within proximity to all amenities, including shops and public transport links. However, the sense of rural living is obvious with its quiet community and large leafy gardens. Bath is approx. 6.4 miles away, making it the ideal home for someone based in the city looking for rural living.
