A converted schoolhouse set in an exclusive 22 acre woodland
setting overlooking the picturesque St Catherine's Valley.
Description
1 Moonshine Cottages offers a host of opportunities for a change of life style and is an attractive castellated Victorian semi-detached former school house offering in excess of 960 sq ft of accommodation over one floor. Built in local stone in a fortified style, this charming property once forming part of The Rocks estate offers a peaceful and tranquil setting with unprecedented views over the St Catherine's Valley. The property is not listed giving opportunity for further extension and redevelopment (subject to the necessary permissions). The accommodation consists of a spacious sitting room with vaulted ceiling, crog loft, exposed ashlar stone wall, flagstone floor and feature fireplace with inset wood burner.
There is a fitted kitchen complete with solid fuel Stanley cooking range and solid elm wooden floor. The conservatory/dining room has a slate tiled floor, storage cupboards and Belfast sink and offers extensive views across the gardens and its private woodland. There are two double bedrooms and a
practical bathroom with electric shower over. Running across the rear of the house is a timber deck and stone paved terrace, which can be accessed off the sitting and conservatory/dining rooms. Just off the house is the garden office/studio, which provides a creative space or home office as well as occasional guest accommodation if needed.
This affords extensive views of the gardens and over the neighbouring countryside.
Approached via its half-mile long private track that winds its way through private woodland and up to the property (shared with the neighbour), this exclusive woodland setting really does have to be seen to be appreciated. The property owns about 22.08 acres of predominantly native woodland as well as a private garden with extensive views and large open barn/ workshop. There is ample parking at the property, where its private barn and workshop are located in a large clearing with a vehicle track leading down to the house. The house benefits from natural woodland, orchard and traditional gardens to the front, side and rear, which are well stocked and enjoy stunning views cross St Catherine's Valley. Leading off the house is a large wooden deck, which is ideal for entertaining and making the most of the views. Just down from the deck is a garden office/studio. This provides a creative place in the garden and is ideal for occasional stays.
The gardens are laid predominantly to lawn with a number of shrubs, bushes and trees. The real majesty of this amazing country retreat is its extensive woodlands. Well stocked with a number of native species, there are many tracks and pathways that wind their way through this tranquil space, leading to private clearings and hidden seating areas, all of which take advantage of this unique setting and the wonderful views. Also on site is a traditional Yurt ideal for holiday rentals or longer rents as well as a part complete woodland pod. Both of these are located away from the house. The open timber barn provides a large creative space suitable for a workshop, educational, recreational and socialising area.
Location
This idyllic hidden country property enjoys an enviable location tucked away in private woodland setting on the edge of Ashwicke, overlooking the picturesque AONB area of St Catherine's Valley. Surrounded by its own gardens and woodland, the situation is ideal for those wanting to get back in touch with nature/rewilding or wanting to feel more off grid in today's world. However, the home still remains well placed for Bath, Chippenham (with its main line railway station and the neighbouring villages of Marshfield and Colerne.
The charming rural hamlet of Ashwicke lies south of Marshfield and east of Georgian Bath. Marshfield is a thriving and well serviced Cotswold village that offers a perfect combination of modern convenience with traditional rural living. The city of Bath, a World Heritage Site famed for its Georgian architecture and Roman heritage, is approximately 6.5 miles away and offers a wealth of cultural, business and recreational facilities along with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (journey time from 75 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey time from 15 minutes).
