Dever Cottage is a delightful attached period property which has been in the hands of the current owner for some 50 years. It enjoys a superb setting in Tyning, a small hamlet, with the security of neighbours whilst enjoying a rural feel which is enhanced by the glorious far reaching views enjoyed to the south and western aspects. The property has been the subject of continuous improvement including a sympathetic extension which was added just over 20 years ago. Internally the period charm has been successfully fused with modern convenience to produce a very comfortable period home with extensive use of traditional timbers and exposed stone work in the original part of the cottage.

On the ground floor, which is approached through an entrance porch with a flag stone floor, there is a well proportioned living room which has characterful exposed stone work and a traditional stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove. There is a separate dual aspect dining room from which stairs lead to the first floor. The kitchen has a part vaulted ceiling and is furnished with a range of bespoke fitted units and built in appliances. In addition there is a study area (which could be combined with the kitchen if a larger space were required) together with a well appointed bathroom. There are two separate staircases accessing the first floor where there are three bedrooms, two of which have characterful vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers and are served by a well designed wet room.

On the outside the property is approached from Tyning over an area of highway which provides the opportunity to park a car and there is a gravelled courtyard area. The rear garden is a particular feature of the property being of good size and facing due south. It has a flagstone and gravelled terrace and a traditional well stocked cottage garden. The perfect compliment to the characterful accommodation.

Tyning is a pleasant hamlet on the western edge of Timsbury. The village lies 5 miles south of the Georgian City of Bath with its renowned range of educational and cultural facilities. The village itself has a basic range of amenities including a general stores, chemist, primary school, church, doctors surgery and public house. For those wishing to commute to the cities of Bristol and Bath, there is good road access.
