Lavender Cottage
Lavender Cottage is a newly renovated 18th-century cottage set high above Bradford-on-Avon just outside Bath. Featuring original wooden beams, traditional windows and characterful fireplaces, it blends heritage with modern luxury. Behind the traditional stone frontage lies a thoughtfully laid-out property arranged over three floors. The light and charming kitchen retains original cottage features and offers a practical space for preparing meals. Filled with natural light, the living and dining areas create an inviting space to come together, opening through large bi-fold doors onto a sunny, raised garden. Bright bedrooms set across the upper floors are designed for slow mornings and unhurried downtime. A stone’s throw from Bath you can immerse yourselves in history at the Roman Baths, stroll the gardens at Priors Park and walk into Bradford-upon-Avon for a pub dinner.
Overview
Close to the heart of Bradford-on-Avon, Lavender Cottage is a beautifully renovated 18th-century stone cottage, offering timeless English charm with the comfort of modern living. Original wooden beams, stone feature fireplaces and characterful windows run throughout, while a light and neutral colour palette creates a calm and spacious feel from room to room. The cottage is arranged over three floors, making it well suited to families or groups of friends.
A true highlight of the cottage is the living and dining space. Created with togetherness in mind, this spacious and cosy room is furnished with comfortable seating, a dining table, stylish striped cushions, and a statement striped armchair that adds warmth and character. Large bi-fold doors flood the space with natural light and open onto the garden, creating an effortless flow between indoors and out, perfect for shared meals, relaxed evenings and lingering conversations. The kitchen is a welcoming place to prepare meals, enhanced by historic features like the original window above the Belfast sink and the classic stone open fireplace. The bedrooms, set across floors two and three are light, cosy and restful, offering privacy and a peaceful retreat for slow mornings, reading time and unwinding after a day exploring the surrounding areas. The master bedroom offers a private ensuite and a striking pentagon window, filling the room with light and character. Bedroom two is equally charming, with a cosy window seat set beneath the original window.
Outside, a sunny courtyard with small charcoal BBQ and raised garden offer a tranquil setting surrounded by trees and birdsong, providing a lovely backdrop for long summer days and evenings that stretch gently into the night.
Ground Floor
Kitchen
The kitchen is a timeless cottage-style space, featuring a Belfast sink set beneath the original window and a stone feature fireplace. It is fully equipped with an oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, alongside a kettle, toaster and coffee machine for everyday ease. A two-seater breakfast bar provides the perfect spot to enjoy slow mornings together over coffee.
Utility Room
The utility room is a practical space designed to keep laundry and everyday spillages neatly tucked away during your stay. Fitted with its own sink, washing machine and dryer, it’s finished in a chic farmhouse style that complements the character of the cottage.
Living & Dining Room
Styled in a soft palette of neutral tones, the living and dining room is a welcoming space to relax and spend time together. Gather around the six-seater wooden table for shared meals, planning the day ahead or reminiscing over new memories. In the evening, unwind in the comfortable seating, from the two-seater sofa to the inviting armchairs, which offer the perfect place to put your feet up around the television. On warm days, open the large bi fold doors to extend the living space into the garden and let the outside in. A selection of local guides is provided to help you plan walks, dining and days out.

Lavender Cottage was lovely!
Exactly as descibed and shown in the pictures.
The location was great, a 10 min walk into the town centre with plenty of onstreet parking outside the house.
The house was very comfortable, tastefully decorated with great facilities and outside space allowing us to enjoy the good weather.
We had six adults in our group using all three bedrooms and we all agreed we would return to the house should we need accomadation in the area again and would highly recommend.

Wonderful weekend at Lavendar Cottage
Lavender Cottage is the perfect home away from home. We had a wonderful weekend there, with trips into Bradford upon Avon a nice 15 minute walk away and into Bath using the very convenient train station in Bradford upon Avon.
The house was comfortable, beautifully decorated and so well appointed the kitchen had everything we needed from cooking breakfast feasts to cheese and nibbles, they even had champagne flutes!
Only wish we had stayed for longer!
