Description

Nicholls Cottage is a uniquely charming and unexpected double fronted period cottage, positioned in a quiet tucked away pedestrian corner on Bath’s sought after lower Lansdown Slopes, in between St Marys Church and Belvedere, a landmark elegant terrace of Georgian townhouses located in a fine elevated position opposite Hedgemead Park.

The elegantly presented accommodation, which retains a wealth of period detail is entered into a pretty hallway with steps that lead down to a guest cloak room and through to the impressive formal drawing room which has a handsome period fireplace and a new double glazed feature picture window with a fine aspect overlooking into the garden. The drawing room leads through to an attractive dining conservatory with steps that lead up to the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room.

The first-floor accommodation comprises a beautiful master bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom and dressing area along with a further guest bedroom and en-suite shower room.

Externally accessed from the dining conservatory, with a view over-looking the nearby church there is a ‘Mediterranean’ style enclosed, well-stocked walled courtyard garden which is divided into three charming terraced ‘rooms’ and has been enhanced by a professional landscape gardener.

In addition, and significantly there is an attractive external annexe/artist’s studio which offers much opportunity to create further accommodation, a work at home office or gym. The studio has recently been re-roofed, and damp proofed and has the added benefit of newly fitted bespoke wardrobes and shelving. There is also the facility to install a kitchenette, plumbing and bathroom if required.
