Greystones Cottage is a delightful village house which was constructed in the 19th century from stone elevations under a clay tiled roof with a modern extension which includes a new inglenook fireplace. The house has a wealth of charm and character with original detailing typical of the period when it was built, and accommodation ranging over two floors.
The main reception rooms are fine entertaining spaces - the dining room (which leads to the conservatory) has exposed beams and a substantial fireplace with a slate filled hearth and the drawing room forms the new extension. The kitchen/breakfast room is a spacious family space.

Upstairs the master suite is superb and doors provide access to a terrace and there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside the gardens provide lawns and terracing, all edged with well-stocked borders and shrubs - extensive gardens lie to the rear of the house.
Greystones Cottage occupies a good position in the heart of the village of Priston, which has a thriving village community with an active church, cricket club and public house. Local shopping is available in Timsbury (two miles) and Bath.
The guide price is £650,000. For further information please contact Savills on 01225 474 541 or visit www.savills.co.uk.
