Upton, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

Approached off a lane through iron-barred gates with a sweeping drive, Upton Venture is a detached Cotswold stone property, circa 2700 sq ft. Once two cottages, the current owner renovated and connected the cottages when they first brought them to create a four bedroom house with an annexe/flat. They have also recently retiled the roof. The property is set within gardens and grounds of approximately 0.5 acres and situated on the edge of the Chavanage Estate.
This well-loved and spacious house is arranged over two floors. It has plenty of character throughout, including very good ceiling heights, new double glazing, exposed brickwork, a farmhouse kitchen with an aga, and a wood-burning stove.
On the ground floor, there is ample living space with three generous reception rooms, a large fitted kitchen/breakfast room, direct garage access, a boot/utility and a cloakroom. Upstairs is a large principal bedroom with an en suite and dressing area, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Attached is a large double garage with a workshop and direct access to the kitchen in the main house. Above is the annexe/flat, accessed via stone steps; it is currently a self-contained flat, but it could be connected to the main house. There is an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a sitting room (bedroom 2), a bedroom and a bathroom. The annexe/flat is in need of updating.

Gardens and Grounds:
Sitting within grounds and gardens just after half an acre, the property is just outside Tetbury and south of Avening. You can walk into Tetbury along the pavement, and there are stunning walks in and around the Chavanage Estate, which sides on to Tetbury Upton.
There is an attractive Cotswold stone wall along two boundaries, and fencing and mature hedging run along the other two sides. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders along with mature specimen trees and a well. Within the garden is a large timber-framed outbuilding with water, a sink and electricity, which would make a fabulous office, craft room or base for outdoor entertaining. To the rear of the property is a terrace orientated to capture the south aspect.
