Walnut Cottage is a delightful period terraced cottage set in a Conservation Area in the old village High Street of Saltford. The property is not listed and has a most attractive facade with accommodation across three levels. It is beautifully appointed throughout and is a fine example of the fusion of a period property with modern contemporary features. It has been comprehensively refurbished during our client's ownership with traditional wooden framed double glazed windows installed, a contemporary fitted kitchen, bathroom and replacement central heating boiler etc.
On the ground floor there is a generously proportioned open plan living room and dining room with a wood burning stove together with a fitted kitchen. The first floor has two bedrooms and a good size family bathroom which also serves the studio style third bedroom which is on the upper floor featuring exposed roof trusses and beams.
The property is set back from High Street by a very pleasant southerly facing garden which is most attractively and traditionally landscaped with a wide terrace immediately adjacent to the property ideal for outdoor entertaining with a good size lawn beyond, a herb garden, vegetable plot and garden outbuildings.
The house enjoys an idyllic situation in the environs of St Mary's Parish Church and within easy reach of riverside walks and local pubs yet also accessible to the Bath Road with its shops and amenities and excellent transport links to Bristol and Bath.
Saltford is an excellent strategic location between the cities of Bristol and Bath offering a range of village amenities and excellent local schools both the village primary school and Wellsway at Keynsham. The cities of Bristol and Bath are within easy reach by road and public transport.
