3 bed cottage for sale

North Street, Oldland Common BS30

Situated within the ever-popular village of Oldland Common, this charming three-bedroom terraced cottage, dating back to approximately 1750, beautifully combines period character with practical modern living. Lovingly and completely renovated around 20 years ago, the property has not been on the market for over 50 years, making this a particularly rare opportunity.

Retaining a wealth of original character, the cottage features exposed stonework, a huge traditional fireplace with woodburner and numerous bespoke oak features, including the kitchen shelving, lounge floor and staircase. The renovation included a new roof and insulation, damp course, plastering, electrics and gas central heating, with the lighting replaced approximately three years ago.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming living room measuring over 16ft, with a stunning traditional fireplace and woodburner creating a warm and inviting focal point. To the rear, the spacious kitchen features unique 5ft 10in ceilings, bespoke natural oak shelving and ample worktop space. As is often found in period cottages, the kitchen has slightly reduced headroom, adding to its character. A convenient ground floor cloakroom and useful porch complete the accommodation.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom and spacious second bedroom, together with a family bathroom.

Externally, the property benefits from a very secluded and separate rear garden, providing a fantastic private space for relaxing, gardening or entertaining. The insulated detached hobby room is currently arranged as a home office and would also make an ideal gym, hobby space or additional storage. There is also approved planning permission for a front extension, offering further potential for the new owner.

Parking is always available in the side lane, approximately 15 metres from the rear door. There may also be an option to purchase the property without the rear garden - please speak to us for further details.

The location is a real highlight, with the Bristol & Bath Railway Path just a few metres away, offering an excellent route for cycling and commuting, with a heritage railway also operating at weekends and during holidays throughout the year. Beautiful open countryside is approximately a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive away.

Set within the popular community of Oldland Common, the property is ideally positioned for access to both Bristol and Bath, with excellent communication links to the M4. A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful 18th-century cottage with a fascinating history, superb outdoor space and excellent potential.
