Full Description: After 20 happy years, the owner of Prospect Cottage is preparing to pass on a much-loved home defined by character and a deep connection to its surroundings. ‘The location – a peaceful village setting with a real sense of community – and the charm of the house and garden made it very special from the start,’ they reflect. Dating from around 1890, Prospect Cottage is one of four former farm workers’ cottages arranged in a charming row in the heart of Farmborough. Built of stone with a tiled roof, the cottage is arranged over three floors, offering three bedrooms and a top-floor bathroom, alongside comfortable and flexible living spaces. <br /><br />A conservatory extends the home for entertaining, while a studio, shepherd’s hut and off-street parking add further versatility. ‘For around the past ten years I have rented out the cottage and studio on Airbnb, gaining a five-star rating.’ They add, ‘the area is very attractive due to various local wedding venues.’<br />Inside, the cottage balances charm with comfort. ‘It’s light and airy in summer, cosy in winter, and full of character and quirks,’ the owner says, noting the sitting room as a favourite space thanks to its generous feel and log burner. Upstairs, the top bedroom offers views across the village and a unique experience: ‘My very favourite thing on a clear night is to sleep under the large Velux and look at the stars.’<br /><br />The garden is a defining feature, carefully cultivated with fruit trees, vegetable beds and a productive fruit cage. ‘The old apple tree is simply exceptional,’ the owner adds, alongside a generous raspberry crop that has been shared widely with neighbours and friends.<br />Life in Farmborough is equally appealing. ‘People look out for one another here – helping with small jobs and stopping for a chat,’ they explain. With a well-stocked village shop, two characterful pubs and a strong calendar of local events, the village offers both convenience and connection, all within easy reach of Bath and Bristol.<br /><br />‘Prospect Cottage has been a home full of happy memories – a place that has effortlessly brought together peaceful living and sociable, welcoming spaces.’<br /><br />‘It’s a house that naturally brings people together, with space for guests to stay while still offering quiet corners to relax and unwind.’<br /><br />‘We will miss the kindness and friendship of the neighbours, and the peaceful rhythm of village life – it’s the kind of place where you feel part of a genuine community.’<br /><br />Additional Information:<br />Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.<br /><br />The comments provided herein represent the personal views of the current owner and are intended solely as an insight into life at the property.
