Full Description: Occupying an idyllic position on the ever-popular Siston Hill, close to the Goose Green borders, Briar Cottage is a charming detached period home believed to originate from the 19th Century. Surrounded by mature gardens and enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy, the property offers a rare combination of character, generous outside space and excellent accessibility, making it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a home in a peaceful semi-rural setting.<br /><br />Available for the first time in over forty years, Briar Cottage has been extensively renovated by its current owners from what they first found in the 1980's, to present the charmingly unique, yet exceptionally practical family home we find today. <br />The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms are accessed. The sitting room provides an inviting living space full of warmth and character, with a woodburning stove providing a cosy atheistic during the winter months. The separate dining room offers the ideal setting for entertaining or family gatherings. A useful utility room together with a rear lobby adjoins, providing access to a well appointed shower room, a built in storage cupboard, and access into the rear garden, enhancing the flexibility of the layout. Positioned to the rear of the property, the kitchen has been fitted with an array of wall, draw and base units, further seating space and direct access into the rear garden, naturally extending the living space during the warmer months. <br /><br />On the first floor are three comfortable bedrooms, each enjoying a peaceful outlook, together with a spacious family bathroom fitted with a four-piece suite. Bedroom one benefits from integrated storage above the stairs and a dual aspect to the front of the property and the rolling common land beyond.<br /><br />One of Briar Cottage's defining features is its delightful gardens. The grounds have been lovingly established over many years and now provide an attractive backdrop to the house, with generous areas of lawn interspersed with mature planting, seasonal colour and secluded seating areas. Whether for gardening enthusiasts, families or those simply wishing to enjoy a quieter pace of life, the outside space is a genuine highlight of the property. Private off-road parking further enhances the practicality of this unique home. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is exceptionally well placed for everyday convenience. The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits, including easy access to the Bristol and Bath Railway Path, while the nearby A4174 Ring Road provides excellent communication links to both Bristol and Bath. A wide range of shopping facilities, supermarkets and leisure amenities are available in nearby Kingswood, together with Gallagher Retail Park and Emersons Green. The area is also well served by a number of respected primary and secondary schools. Properties of this nature are rarely available, particularly in such a desirable location. Briar Cottage presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a distinctive period home with beautifully maintained gardens, versatile accommodation and a setting that successfully balances rural charm with modern convenience. <br /><br />‘WHAT WE LOVE’<br />Waking up to bird song and countryside views for the past 40 years has been a real joy, whilst still being so close to Bath, Bristol and motorways beyond.
