Rose Cottage is a charming, detached home, originally built in the 1800s as a two-up, two-down miners’ cottage. It was renovated and extended in 1984, with further expansions in 2000. Nestled just south of Bath, between Tunley and Camerton, it sits at the end of a private drive on a large plot of land closely associated with the Somerset Coal Canal. Rurally located yet within striking distance of Peasedown St John, with its excellent amenities, and the centre of Bath, this country home offers tranquillity and convenience in equal measure. Laid out over two floors, the main living areas – including a large sitting room, kitchen, dining room, snug, and storage and utility space – are on the ground floor, while the first floor hosts four bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and enjoying scenic views, this traditional character home could benefit from some TLC to make it a more up-to-date dwelling, and would suit someone looking for a slice of country life or a family seeking rural freedom. The current owners say, ‘We have been very fortunate to spend over forty years of our lives in such beautiful surroundings and are very reluctant to move. However, we are now in our seventies, and it is time for us to move on and make way for someone else to love Rose Cottage as much as we have.’ As a green belt area, this location offers beautiful walks, including a route along the Cam Brook and the limestone link to Bath, as well as abundant wildlife. All of this comes with excellent access to Bristol International Airport, and the vibrant cities of Bath and Bristol, which offer a wealth of theatres, restaurants, bars, shops, historic attractions.
‘We love living with the countryside and peacefulness all around us without ever feel isolated – the cottage sits in a wonderful pocket of green with hills behind us and the Cam Valley and Brook in front yet the nearby towns and villages offer every convenience one needs.’
‘Our favourite room is the dining room, where we enjoy views of the garden and adjacent fields. The doors open onto a patio, where we entertain during good weather.’
‘The cottage is in an enclave of three houses and our neighbours are very friendly and supportive if an emergency arises. The community along Wick Lane is great too.’
