Description
Ivy Cottage is a pretty detached upside down cottage in the heart of the desirable rural hamlet of Woolverton with 3 bedrooms, garden and parking enjoying views across the fields and countryside beyond.
It is a cosy stone built detached country cottage with original exposed timber beams, floorboards and exposed oak studded walls and window seats in abundance. The accommodation is reversed with the lounge dining and kitchen on the first floor to take advantage of the views of the glorious Somerset countryside. There is an inglenook fireplace and wood burner in the large open plan lounge/dining room, which also has a double sofa bed if required, increasing the sleeping capacity to 8 guests. The lounge/dining room is light and airy with large windows letting in natural sunlight even though it is an exposed beamed cottage. A TV with the basic NOW package, dvd player with many dvd,s and games plus a music centre are provided along with board games for those relaxing evenings with your loved ones around the lovely log burner.
The dining area has a table and 8 seats which is located adjacent to a separate fully equipped kitchen overlooking the patio and paddocks. There is a wooden staircase which leads down to the family bathroom, 2 double bedrooms (one en_suite) and a third bedroom with bunk beds.
There is direct access via the French doors to the patio area on the first floor with BBQ in the rear garden which overlooks the adjacent fields of grazing cattle, ideal for enjoying a glass of wine in the long long summer evenings. The front garden and the off street parking for up to 3 cars can be accessed from the rear garden via the gated fence line.

“Ivy cottage”
Lovely cottage. Needs some updating and TLC but very comfortable and cosy. Everything you need included, except hairdryer. Very good location. 100 yards from bus stop into Bath in one direction, and Frome in the other. Lovely pub next to bus stop with great hosts and fab food.

“Lovely Cottage for weekend break”
Came to the Cottage with my twin daughters and their 4 friends for their Birthday as we visited Longleat, the cottage is in the perfect position about 8 miles from the park. We all loved the cottage it in a great setting and enough room for all of us to enjoy being together or having some time alone in the rooms, everything we needed was in the cottage and the enclosed garden backing onto the cows field was also a nice place to sit watching the sun go down and have a BBQ. Really quaint place like stepping back in time but still having WiFi

“Lovely cottage near Bath”
Perfect location for visiting Somerset region and Bath. The cottage is great for family and kids. The living area is spacious enought with a dinner table for 10 people to sit down. Great garden with BBQ area and great view on the countryside. I would recommend to anyone. Great location to visit Bath, Lacock or Stonehenge.
