Cherington, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

A much-loved family home in the unspoilt and highly sought-after village of Cherington, with generous mature gardens.

Description

Built in 1986, The Walled Garden is situated on the site of a former barn which was dismantled and the Cotswold stone reused to build the house. The attractive property, with its pitched roofs and ornamental dovecote, has been a much-loved family home for many years and has been well maintained, presented in a traditional style inside which would benefit from some modernisation. The potential for personalisation, or more extensive cosmetic redevelopment, is fantastic, with good scope to remodel or extend depending on permissions. The spacious home offers more than 2700 sq ft of space over two floors and is well suited to family life, with its expansive gardens and generous reception spaces ideal for day to day family activities as well as entertaining.

The light and airy ground floor comprises a generously proportioned sitting room, garden room with beautiful views over the gardens on two sides, a formal dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms (two en suite), a family bathroom and a fourth bedroom/study.

Outside
The Walled Garden is situated close to the centre of Cherington, within the mature, walled gardens which give it its name. The house is approached via a gated entrance onto a large driveway providing ample private parking as well as access to the attached double garage which has a storage area to the rear, accessed from the garden. The rear gardens wrap around two sides of the house with a favourable south-westerly aspect and are stocked with a wide variety of trees, shrubs and border plants. A paved terrace affords place to dine outside in the warmer months and the garden is fully enclosed, making it well suited to dog owners.

Location

The house is situated in the heart of Cherington, in a splendid semi-rural setting. Avening (1.5 miles) has a reputable local pub – the Bell Inn – plus a variety of other amenities and a village primary.

The property is also located just under four miles north of central Tetbury, a popular and lively traditional Cotswold market town well known for its 17th and 18th century architecture. Historically, the town was known for its wool market and more recently antique shops but today boutique and specialist shops, together with cafes, an award-winning bakery, restaurants and bistros have come to the fore. For families, there are several schooling options, including St. Mary’s C of E Primary School and, just outside, Sir William Romney’s school. There is superstore shopping and a variety of dining options at the edge of Tetbury town and a wider choice of supermarkets, shops and leisure facilities in nearby Nailsworth (4.2 miles), Cirencester (9.2 miles) and Dursley (11.3 miles).

There are direct rail services to London Paddington from Kemble and Swindon stations, the latter scheduled to take approximately 55 minutes. There is good access to the M5 towards Bristol via the A419. Cotswold airport is just 6.4 miles away from the property.

Also nearby is the world-famous National Arboretum at Westonbirt (7.2 miles) which covers 600 acres and boasts one of the most varied specimen collections in Europe as well as some 17 miles of trails. Other recreational opportunities include golf at both Westonbirt and Minchinhampton, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, motor racing at the Castle Combe circuit and racing at Cheltenham.
