Description

Believed to be constructed in the 1700s, Myrnham is a characterful detached Cotswold stone cottage nestled within a wooded valley towards the edge of the village of Ford and located around only 20 minutes from the centre of Bath. During its current ownership, the property has been improved and extended on both sides to double its size and create a uniquely flexible home. Arranged principally over two floors, the accommodation has been superbly maintained and presented, extending to over 1,700 sq.ft.

The ground floor is entered through a stable door into an entrance hall with a WC off. There are two reception rooms, both with delightful fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. The living room is particularly spacious with an L-shape design offering additional space. The kitchen/breakfast room has double French doors connecting to the front garden and is fitted with bespoke handmade units, a breakfast bar, and an electric Esse cooker. There are two staircases leading to the top floor where the versatile layout can offer up to four bedrooms. There is a walk-through single bedroom connecting to a large double bedroom which makes a fantastic teenager’s room with a converted mezzanine loft floor above and double doors connecting to the side garden. To the other side, there is another double bedroom which functions fantastically as the main bedroom suite accompanied by a dressing room and en-suite shower room. This dressing room has a charming terrace garden level accessed through double doors and a lovely view of the field beyond. The dressing room is accessed by a spiral staircase and can easily be used as an additional bedroom.

The cottage is set into the hillside with views across Doncombe valley and benefits from a southerly aspect with the deceptively large plot reaching over 1/3 acre. The property is well-screened from the road with high hedging and double timber gates concealing the plot. There is plenty of private parking and a double carport to the side. Adjoining the front aspect is a level lawned garden with seating areas. The geography of the plot allows for the first floor accommodation to flow into further garden areas designed as seating terraces. In addition, the owners have created the most delightful steps and paths through the private woodland immediately behind the cottage which take in some outstanding views and lead to an excellent home office. Nestled high up within the trees, this home office was cleverly constructed by Booths Garden Studios and is equipped with power, lighting, heating and WiFi. This additional room is ideal as an office, hobby/music room, or even the occasional guest bedroom. An outside tap is positioned beside it and there is a seating terrace which enjoys a tranquil view across the adjoining field.

Situation
Ford is a picturesque village within a valley setting surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside and a little brook meandering through the heart. The village has a popular pub The White Hart and is an excellent location for countryside walking routes. A footpath is available from immediately outside the cottage which follows a stunning route to Castle Combe, the famous Cotswolds destination famed for its unspoilt quintessential streets and has a Michelin star restaurant and golf club in addition to other cafés and pubs. Ford is located approximately 4 miles from the market towns of Chippenham and Corsham, and 10 miles from Bath city, which have an excellent range of facilities and school options. Both Chippenham and Bath have mainline train stations (Paddington in under 70 minutes). The larger villages of Biddestone and Yatton Keynell are some 2 miles away offering superb amenities between them including a popular primary school, two pubs, a post office/store, doctors surgery, and sport clubs including tennis and cricket. Both Bristol and the Georgian heritage city of Bath are accessible within 30 minutes. The M4 motorway (Junctions 17 & 18) provides fast road access to London, Bristol, Swindon, the M5 and the South West.
