Stables, Batheaston - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms | Cottage in Batheaston
3 Bedroom Cottage in Batheaston
The Stables is approached down a wooded driveway that leads to a large, dedicated parking area and steps down to the rear of the property. The Stables has fantastic views over the property's rooftop towards mature trees and the Avon Valley below. It is a secluded, country retreat yet is only 5 miles from Bath and less than a mile from the centre of the village of Batheaston.
Descend the steps from the parking area to a lovely, private garden and patio that wraps around the side of the cottage to the front. To the side is the small Summer House, with a lawn, overhanging mature trees and garden seating. (A gate in the side garden leads to a path and the owner's private residence.) At the front of the cottage is a second lawn with a patio running the length of the cottage and down the middle of the lawn where there is a charcoal barbecue. The garden can also be accessed via French doors from the Living Room. To the side of the parking area is a private all-weather tennis court. Guests must seek permission on arrival from the owners to use the court.

Living/Dining Room:
The cosy yet spacious open-plan living-dining and kitchen area features a fabulously tall, arched window set in a stunning Cotswold stone wall. The living area is furnished with a large woodburner stove, two sofas, an armchair, and a smart TV and coffee table. Local area information leaflets, maps and walking guides are provided for guests to use during their stay. French windows open out from the living area to the garden and patio, making outdoor entertaining easy and appealing. Overlooking the living area is the twin bedroom's unusual Juliet balcony, with a handmade, wrought iron railing - a unique spot to have a drink or morning cuppa!
The dining area, with its pretty port-hole window, is furnished with a long, rectangular table, comfortably seating up to six guests, and an antique dresser filled with crockery, glasses and table accessories.
Kitchen Area:
The farmhouse-style kitchen is fully equipped and features a large preparation area, a double sink overlooking the lovely garden, a wonderful red Aga oven, an electric oven (not shown in photos), a dishwasher, coffee machine, and all the pans, bakeware and preparation equipment needed to cook every meal during a stay.

The beautiful, polished limestone floor with underfloor heating has two lovely cosy rugs on either side of the bed.

The bedroom is furnished with two single beds, bedside tables and lamps, an antique chest of drawers, a hanging rail and has a Velux window with a blind with a view over the parking area and onto the adjoining woodland. (Please note: The height of the Juliet balcony is safety-standard. The doors to the balcony can be locked to prevent young children from using it.)
Family Shower Room:
The shower room features step-in, wet room style shower with a seat, a washbasin with a vanity unit and mirror, and a toilet. A Velux window with frosted glass opens out over the rooftops.
Outside
The Stables has a beautifully tranquil outdoor space with a wraparound lawn and patio with garden furniture to relax on, a large picnic table for al fresco dining, a bistro table and a garden bench. The garden is completely private, with a 10ft high wall to one side and a waist-high wall at the far end with views out across mature treetops and onto the Avon Valley. The Summer House in the side garden can be used for bicycle storage. Guests may use the all-weather tennis court, located beside the parking area, by arrangement on arrival with the owner. (Please bring own racquets and balls.)
