Description

Situated alongside a lovely village green with maypole in a lovely conservation village, 'The Cottage' is a tucked back and hidden attached cottage with plenty of character. Built in the late 1700s originally as two (possibly three!) properties, this unique home is presented in good order and has a fantastic lawned garden which stretches back quite some distance. Access is via a shared flag stone pathway (neighbouring property access via this pathway) to the rear and once in you will find a lovely living room which opens to a dining area with a feature stone fireplace and large exposed ceiling beam. There is also a light and spacious kitchen which leads to the breakfast room where the feature window gives an outlook to the green. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, a small study/cot room and a modern shower room. The garden is typical of a country cottage and has been lovingly maintained plus there is a small stone outbuilding and garden shed with power.

Situation
The picturesque village of Iron Acton is located between the market town of Chipping Sodbury and Winterbourne. It has a lovely Conservation High St with many period properties and beautiful countryside surrounds on its doorstep. It also benefits from a Primary School, Village Green (with May Pole), Parish Hall, Tennis courts and two Public Houses. There are excellent road links to Bristol and motorways with the M32/M4 junction being approx 6.9 miles away and Bristol Parkway Railway Station approx 6.6 miles.
