New Church Street, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

A charming period natural stone terraced cottage, with a very pleasant open outlook onto The Knapp Green with its quirky water pump, and a short walking distance into the centre of town.

The accommodation consists of a new composite front door, an entrance hallway with space for coats and shoes, leading into a welcoming sitting room with a handsome feature fireplace with a wood burning stove. Stone stairs lead to the cellar which has great versatility with flagstone floors, heating and lighting; currently this room is used as a gym but has been used as a dining room, and could also be used as a cinema room.

The kitchen has been cleverly fitted with a range of storage options including a pantry under the stairs. There are integrated appliances which include a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine and space for a range cooker. Double doors are ready to be thrown open out onto the pretty courtyard garden at the rear.

On the first floor is a double bedroom with built in storage, a family shower room has recently been refitted using high specification materials including Mandarin Stone and a Grohe shower. Adjacent is an office with views across the back and useful storage. Stairs lead from this room to the second floor where there is a large master bedroom, again with built in storage and opposite an attic room which is currently used for storage but could be a child’s bedroom.

Outside the charming courtyard is very pretty with Cotswold stone walls on either side, a built-in shed and a former privy at the bottom which is now used for storage.

The cottage has been lovingly invested in over the last five years including new valleys and roofing, a new composite front door, a new shower room and a recently installed boiler. There is off road parking close by or a space may be able to be rented from the Dolphins Hall.
