Situation
Midford is a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, located about 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the historic city of Bath. This charming village is set against the serene backdrop of the English countryside, where the Cam and Wellow Brooks converge to form the tranquil Midford Brook. The brook meanders its way through the landscape, eventually joining the River Avon near the neighboring village of Monkton Combe.

To the west of the village lies Upper Midford, an area that saw a significant transformation in the late 20th century. In 1995, plans were initiated to create a new plantation, later named Millennium Wood. By the year 2000, the land spanning between Midford, Southstoke, and Combe Hay had been meticulously prepared and planted with a diverse array of native trees and shrubs, fostering a rich and vibrant natural habitat.

Midford's blend of historical charm, natural beauty, and community-driven projects makes it a quintessential example of Cotswold allure, offering a peaceful retreat and a glimpse into England's storied past.

Outside
A short lane off Midford Road provides rear access to the house, leading through a wooden electric gate to a driveway with parking for up to three vehicles. The property features a stone-laid patio seating area that overlooks a garden primarily composed of well-maintained lawns, established flower beds, shrubs, and small trees. Additional amenities include a storeroom with an old WC and a wooden storage shed. A brief walk from the house takes you to the Two Tunnels cycle and walking path, offering convenient routes to the city and numerous countryside walks.
