Description

Quoin Cottage dates from the mid 1700's and provides two bedrooms in the main house and separate one bedroom annex accommodation. You approach the property along a shared path and enter through a wrought iron gate up a couple of steps in to the garden. It's worth a pause here just to take in the far reaching countryside views across the village and beyond. A path leads you to the front door and once inside you enter into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with modern wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink, gas hob, double oven with extractor. There is also space for a 6-seater dining table in the bay which overlooks the garden. A door leads you to a shower room with WC and the second bedroom, or study. A further door from the kitchen leads you to the sitting room with feature exposed Bath stone open fireplace and two windows to the front aspect. A wooden door opens up to the rear of the sitting rear and you ascend stairs to the first floor. Here you find bedroom one which is a good size double room with separate WC and washbasin.

Annex

The annex is accessed via the shared path and sits opposite the house. You enter into a large vaulted ceiling sitting room which is a light room with roof lights and windows to the front aspect providing lovely views across the small village green. There is also a bathroom at this level with bath, washbasin and WC. Stairs lead down to a kitchenette space with floor units, worktop with inset sink drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine and the wall mounted boiler. A door opens into the garage space with parking for one vehicle and wooden double doors opening onto the street. This annex is ideal for guest accommodation or to be utilised as a short term holiday-let which should return a healthy income.

Externally

The garden is to the front of the property and is mainly laid to lawn with established beds, shrubs and two fruit trees. There is a stone slab laid seating area offering a haven to watch the wildlife and take in those far reaching countryside views whilst enjoying the peaceful nature of this village.

Location

Southstoke is a hidden gem being a small picturesque village situated on the southern fringes of the city of Bath. It is located 2 miles (3 km) south of the city. The village is in a designated Conservation Area and the buildings are mainly built with cream oolitic limestone. There are no less than 27 listed structures in and around the immediate village, which has retained much of its original character and historic appeal. The village has in recent times been made famous by the villager’s successful campaign to buy back their beloved Pack Horse pub. Through community funding and national/international press coverage the pub re-opened in 2018 and the result is a true testament to everyone’s efforts. A thriving and friendly village pub which is a must see should you visit the area. There are numerous countryside walks in the local area and a highlight is the Millenium Viewpoint just outside the village which provides stunning panoramic views of open countryside.
