Description

Village Farm Cottage is an excellent property! Built in the 18th century and situated in the grounds of the owners beautiful home, this classic little cottage is situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Priston itself just 15 minutes from the very centre of Bath. A detached property and literally within yards of open countryside, this traditional holiday cottage provides quality self catering accommodation at a superb price. Internally the cottage enjoys many period features including exposed beams, thick stone walls and Gothic archways all of which add to the character of the original building. Added to this is the stripped pine flooring and the wood-burner which make the cottage warm and homely. We feel this is an attractive cottage of considerable character and charm set in a beautiful rural location.ACCOMMODATIONGround Floor Entrance through into open plan living spaceLiving Area with sofa and armchairs, plus wood-burning stove and flatscreen TV with DVD and FreeviewKitchen / Dining Area fitted with electric hob and oven, fridge, microwave, plus table and four chairs.Stairs to first floor and private patio gardenUpstairsBedroom One with double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawersBedroom Two with two single beds, chest of drawersBathroom with bath, WC & hand-basin.OutsideAttractive and private patio garden with gate to field and garden furniture.

A coffin from this site was discovered in 1917! The village is recorded in the Domesday Book as including the presence of a church, possibly wooden; however the nave of the Church of St Luke and St Andrew was added in the 12th century, and the church has a tower dating from the 15th century. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building and is crowned with a disproportionately large weather vane given as a gift by the lord of the manor in 1813. As you can see the village is steeped in history. Priston Mill was given by the monks of Bath Abbey in 931 and is powered by a 25 feet water wheel. Today the present building dates from the late 18th or early 19th century and is maintained in working condition, with the associated tithe barn (1700's) it is currently used as a wedding and conference venue.Nearby is the Georgian City of Bath with its many facilities and shops plus Glastonbury, Wells, Weston-Super-Mare, Stourhead, Longleat House & Safari Park, Castle Combe, Lacock.
