2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Built in Somerset stone, The Old Estate Yard cottage is a single storey, two bedroom, detached house. Converted in 2002 from the original offices built in 1935, the cottage occupies a corner plot and is surrounded by garden and trees. The building has living accommodation in one 'wing' and bedrooms and a bathroom in the other. A porch hallway connects the two.
The main rooms have pitched ceilings, some with skylights and wooden beams. The living room has original floorboards, a wood burner and fireplace and triple aspect windows, including double doors opening to the garden. The wooden floorboards continue in the kitchen, with cream-coloured units along two walls, and a window with garden views. The integral oven and hob are electric and there's space for other white goods.
There are two good-sized bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and a large linen cupboard in the hallway.
The approach to the cottage is via a tarmac drive (shared with one other property) which leads to a private gravel drive, with space for turning. The gardens - mostly grass and trees - are on either side of the cottage and are enclosed by a low stone wall (roadside) and fenced boundary (neighbour's side). There are several flowerbeds that separate the gravel drive from the house, with paving wrapping around it, including a courtyard between the two 'wings'.

Upton Cheyney is a picturesque village situated between Bath and Bristol in the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty. It's a sought-after location: travel connections are good to both cities and Bristol airport is only 15 miles' drive. It is thought the name Upton Cheyney is derived from the words 'upper farmhouse', a reference to the village's elevated site that offers wonderful views and rural walks aplenty. Today, the village has a good pub, The Upton Inn, and a farm shop. More local amenities are available in the nearby village of Bitton including a shop, cafe, hairdressers, primary school, two churches and another public house.
Two thriving cities are close by: the World Heritage site of Bath and the city of Bristol, both offering major shopping and entertainment attractions, superb leisure and sporting facilities and numerous outstanding schools.
