Turleigh, a leafy hamlet which lies immediately south of the village of Winsley just over a mile west of Bradford on Avon, is nothing short of idyllic with its ever-present sense of peace and quiet and stunning Avon valley views. A typical Bath stone cottage, this link-detached and extended four-bedroom home has been well-maintained over the years but is now ripe for a new owner to make updates and add their personal touch. The current owner has lived here for forty-four happy years; ‘my work brought me to the area in 1978 and my wife and I were delighted to find this house in what was, and still is, a very sought-after area. It offers a good amount of space inside and out and despite the country setting the location is extremely convenient. The house is a ten-minute walk from Avoncliff where there is a railway station offering links to Bath and Bristol and London’s Waterloo – this said, the next stop at Bradford-on-Avon provides better motor access and parking.’ Adjacent Winsley – a short walk away – is a well-served village with a highly-regarded primary school as well as a pub, doctors’ surgery, pharmacy and an active church. ‘Winsley also has its own branch of the WI, a gardening club and a brilliant farm shop and café. Rather conveniently, the village is also on a bus route between Bradford-on-Avon and Bath.’ The thriving riverside market town of Bradford on Avon boasts good shops and eateries, the excellent Wiltshire Music Centre, and St Lawrence School for secondary education.

‘The front half of the property was built in 1813 and the rear half added in 1927. In the early 1980s we added a drive, double garage and a new kitchen extension. This required extensive excavations and the addition of steps to provide access to the large rear garden.’

‘During my busy weeks away with work, it was always a joy to retreat to this idyllic location with its wonderful views and birdsong. The vast array of wildlife, especially the robins and blue tits who visit daily, add to the feeling of tranquility.’

‘It’s a real pleasure to sit and admire the views across the valley from the garden and substantial summerhouse and terrace.’

‘The through lounge is a wonderfully bright space ideal for family gatherings or quiet evenings.’

‘I’ll be sad to leave however the time has come to downsize.’
