3 bed detached house for sale

Rood Ashton BA14

A charming village home, set in a delightful rural position in the hamlet of Rood Ashton. Nursery Cottage offers spacious and versatile accommodation, attractive gardens and lovely views across the historic walled garden that once formed part of Rood Ashton Manor, with countryside beyond.

The original part of the house dates from the Victorian era, later extended in the 1960s to create the generous family home seen today. The property now offers well-balanced accommodation with several reception rooms providing flexibility for modern living.

The ground floor centres around a welcoming hallway giving access to the principal living spaces. Of particular note is the impressive drawing room, a wonderfully proportioned space with an open fireplace and windows to both the front and rear, allowing for plenty of natural light. There is also a further reception room which could serve as a family room or snug, along with a separate dining room positioned conveniently alongside the kitchen.

The kitchen features an Aga and provides ample cupboard and worktop space, opening through to a dining area which enjoys views over the garden. A useful utility room sits adjacent, together with a cloakroom and internal access to the garage. A study/bedroom 4 sits at the right of the property with a mezzanine area above.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms 1 of which was previously purposed as a 4th bed.

Externally, the property is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and borders, together with a productive vegetable and fruit garden benefiting from the shelter of the old brick wall. A charming wisteria covered terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings
