Claverton, Bath, BA2

Bassett Cottage was once a farmhand property for the dairy farm within the village. It is approached via a shingle driveway from the lane leading through the front garden and also giving access to a neighbouring property. The drive leads to the parking area which could accommodate 2 cars.

The stone cottage faces to the south-west and enjoys fantastic views over the valley beyond.

Internally the main door leads into the kitchen which in turn follows onto the generous sitting room which boasts stone mullioned windows and an inset woodburning stove in a lovely fireplace.

Upstairs consists of two bedrooms matching the kitchen and living room on the ground floor and a bathroom.

Externally there is a lean-to build of corrugated materials and houses the oil-fired boiler and the washing machine. An extension would be ideal for the property and would need the relevant consents to be obtained.

Claverton Village is both ancient and historic, a former Saxon settlement built around a religious manor, once home of The Bishop of Bath and Wells and Ralph Allen. This quintessential English village lies by the side of the beautiful Limpley Stoke Valley with the River Avon and Kennet and Avon Canal at the bottom, easily accessed via Ferry Lane and beautiful walks with wonderful country scenery to Bradford on Avon, Bath and beyond can be enjoyed. Claverton, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a conservation area is conveniently placed for easy access to both Bradford on Avon and the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath via the nearby A36.

The UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath is close by and offers a wonderful array of chain and independent retail outlets, many excellent restaurants, cafès and wine bars, a number of well-respected cultural activities including the newly refurbished One Royal Crescent and Holburne Museums, The nearby American Museum and many pre-London shows at The Theatre Royal.

World class sporting facilities are available at Bath Rugby and Cricket Clubs and at nearby Bath University.

There are also a number of good state and independent schools within easy reach which include, King Edwards Schools on North Road, Monkton Combe School, Prior Park College and Ralph Allen School in Combe Down and The Royal High and Kingswood Schools on Bath’s northern slopes.

Communications include a direct line to London Paddington, Bristol and South Wales from Bath Spa Railway Station which is a 20 minute walk away. The M4 motorway junction 18 is approximately 8 miles to the north and Bristol Airport is 18 miles to the west.
