3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Main Road, Flax Bourton BS48

Old Angel Cottage is a characterful three bedroom semi detached home with a fascinating past, generous living accommodation and a beautifully maintained south west facing garden. The cottage has been sympathetically updated while retaining many of its original features, creating a distinctive home with plenty of warmth and individuality.

The entrance hall provides plenty of useful storage and leads into an inner hall, where there is space for a snug or home office. With views across the garden, this is a versatile area that could be used in several different ways. A downstairs WC is located just off the hall, with stairs rising to the first floor.

To the front of the house is an impressive sitting and dining room measuring approximately 32 ft in length. Exposed wooden beams, stone walls and a feature fireplace give the room considerable character, while its generous proportions allow plenty of space for comfortable seating and a full sized dining table. Windows at either end bring in natural light and help create two defined but connected areas.

To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with grey cabinetry, ample worktop space, a dishwasher and range oven. Exposed beams and a whitewashed stone wall continue the character of the cottage, while a small internal opening, believed to have originally been an external window, now provides a view through to the sitting room. Large windows overlook the garden, and there is access to the rear porch and outside.

Upstairs, the landing features a large picture window overlooking the garden and leads to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and includes useful built in shelving, while the remaining bedrooms provide good space for family members, guests or working from home.

The upper floor was once used as the village hall, which explains the unusually high ceilings and wonderful feeling of space. Loft access from the landing leads to a large area providing valuable additional storage.

The family bathroom is a good size and includes a bath with a shower over it, together with useful built in storage.

The generous south west facing rear garden has been thoughtfully created by the current owners, with a lawn, mature planting, raised beds, a vegetable patch and three established apple trees. A decked seating area provides a lovely setting for summer gatherings and has been arranged by the owners with a firepit area. At the opposite end of the garden, a brick built pizza oven provides another enjoyable space for outdoor cooking and entertaining. There is also a summer house with its own log burner, allowing the space to be enjoyed throughout the year, together with a garden shed for storage.

The detached garage and workshop can be accessed from the garden and opens directly onto the lane behind. It has power, with additional parking in front of the garage and two further off road parking spaces at the front of the cottage. The garden also benefits from useful side access leading to the front of the cottage and its parking spaces.

Grade II listed, Old Angel Cottage once formed part of the former Angel Inn, a historic coaching inn recorded as far back as 1650. Its rich history, original features, spacious accommodation and impressive garden combine to create a distinctive home with plenty of individuality.
