This tiny one-bedroom cottage for sale is perfect for cosy living
A tiny one-bedroom cottage in the picturesque village of Norton St. Philip, Bath, could be yours for £450,000.
Nestled down a sleepy country lane, this detached stone cottage would be perfect for someone seeking a slower pace of life. Just a short drive from bustling Bath, it offers the best of both worlds.
Inside, a covered porch leads directly into the snug sitting room. Wooden floors flow throughout the cottage, and this particular room highlights many of the home's original features, such as traditional shutters, a Bath stone fireplace complete with Stovax multi-fuel burner, and a window seat which offers fantastic views out into the countryside setting.
There's room for both a sofa and a dining table. To the right of the fireplace, you'll see what was the original bread oven, which can be accessed from the kitchen, with cupboards now being located directly beneath.
Over in the kitchen there is a lovely contrast between the Welsh slate work surfaces and the pale cream Shaker-style units. There's also a butler's sink, washing machine, fridge, built-in dishwasher, gas hob and electric oven. This room is incredibly bright and airy, thanks to the double-glazed French door and window that lead out into the garden.
Throughout the home you'll find original doors, with one of these leading down to the cellar. Down here the space has a window, electricity and an insulated ceiling, with it accommodating the home's water tank.
The single bedroom has a charming view out into the garden and surrounding fields, as well as an original stone fireplace. There's also a surprising number of floor to ceiling wardrobes, given that this is only a one-bedroom home. But they instantly maximise the amount of space in that particular room, giving you ample areas to hang all of your clothes.
There's also a loft located above the bedroom which is accessed by a pull-down ladder and has been boarded and fully insulated, providing even more storage space. The bathroom is also located on this floor, complete with quaint cottage design and a bath/shower.
Outside there is lots of green space to enjoy in the garden, with roses, foxgloves and a yellow tree peony already growing. There's also a small west-facing patio area where you can set up a table and chairs — perfect for your morning coffee.
An outbuilding provides further storage, with it currently being used partly to store bicycles, as well as housing the dustbins.
Set in the friendly village of Norton St. Philip, you'll find all the essentials that you could possibly require within walking distance. From a supermarket to the oldest pub in England, The George Inn, there is a real sense of community spirit. This is seen in activities such as the annual bonfire party, cricket on the Mead (when the weather permits) and even a cinema club.
For those looking to explore further afield, there are many great country walks to be had in the beautiful surrounding countryside, while a bus service runs between Georgian Bath and the artistic town of Frome.
The property is currently on the market for £450,000 via Fine & Country.
