Built circa 1810 Wood View is an attractive semi-detached period home positioned in the Sharpstone area of Freshford, a sought-after village situated between the beautiful city of Bath and Wiltshire market town Bradford on Avon. Arranged over three floors, it has a versatile amount of space which could be divided up to provide up to five bedrooms and three reception rooms. Well maintained over the years, it comes with a secluded split-level garden with stunning views. ‘The house is very charming and quirky with its two staircases, the main one leading off from the hallway and another from the kitchen. The garden has a very Mediterranean feel with two terraces providing different seating levels with lovely views towards woodland and across the Avon Valley. The property sits in an amazingly beautiful and peaceful spot – it’s totally idyllic,’ say the owners.
Freshford is a highly desirable village which benefits from a primary school, rated ‘good’ by Ofsted, an
award-winning community shop and café, ‘The Inn at Freshford,’ a popular riverside pub, and an active church. The village also boasts a railway station offering regular services to Bath and Bristol in one direction and several Wiltshire towns in the other – in both directions London connections can be easily made. ‘The village amenities are excellent, and, in recent years, we have walked from our house to the train station and after changing a few times – such as in Paris – we have finally arrived in Venice!’

‘The garden has several well-stocked, established flower beds with a variety of colourful flowers – an abundance of lavender bushes, roses and other scented flowers add summer fragrance.’

‘It’s a great home for entertaining, both inside and out. There are lots of reception areas to choose from as well as lovely spaces for eating al fresco.’

‘In 2020 we fitted a new bathroom and improved and updated the kitchen. There is one family bathroom with a bath and a walk-in shower, plus another handy WC with a washbasin.’

‘All our neighbours have become good friends and the village is a friendly and sociable place with plenty of community and special interest events taking place all-year-round.’

‘We will miss everything about living at Wood View, from the house itself to the location and wonderful walks but we are happy to pass it on to the next lucky owners as we proceed on to our next chapter.’
