Escape to the countryside at this beautiful cottage. It’s tucked away in a peaceful rural hamlet between Bath and Corsham, surrounded by lush Somerset countryside and great walking routes. It’s close enough to Bath, Chippenham, and Castle Combe for day trips – the National Trust’s Lacock is only a fifteen-minute drive away, too. This is a charming home perfect for a family, with a wood-burning stove in the snug/games room for cooler weather, and a pretty garden with a patio for spring and summer visits. Your four-legged friends can come along too – it's a proper home-from-home.
