Welcome to Stable Cottage.
A rare opportunity to rent a beautifully refurbished period home within the Manor Farm estate, nestled in the idyllic Cotswold village of Southstoke — just 10 minutes from central Bath.
Southstoke is a quintessential English village, known for its honey-coloured stone cottages, peaceful countryside walks, and strong sense of community. Perched on the southern edge of Bath, it offers the charm of rural living with the convenience of city access. Regular bus services run from nearby Bear Flat to Bath city centre in under 10 minutes, and the scenic walk into town takes around 40 minutes, offering stunning views across the valley.
Stable Cottage sits within the Rickyard of Manor Farm and blends traditional character with modern comfort. The front garden is a picture of country elegance, with stone flags, climbing roses, lavender, and hydrangeas framing the green front door beneath a trellised archway.
Inside, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a stylish kitchen/breakfast room, complete with contemporary units, ample storage, an integrated dishwasher, double oven, and American-style fridge freezer. There's generous space for a kitchen table overlooking the yard, ideal for relaxed dining. A practical utility area with washing machine, tumble dryer, and separate W.C. adjoins the kitchen, leading into a spacious, light-filled conservatory with direct access to the courtyard.
To the right of the entrance is the first of two generous reception rooms, featuring exposed timber beams and a mullioned window. A few steps lead to the second reception room — a versatile space perfect for a study, snug, or formal dining area. A corridor beyond provides access to a second ground floor W.C. and the garage.
Upstairs, a large window at the top of the stairwell frames a delightful view of the village church spire. The master suite is exceptionally spacious, with a dressing room and adjoining shower room offering breathtaking views across the valley. A second double bedroom and a family bathroom — with a handheld mixer shower over the bath — complete the first floor.
