Kingswood, Wotton-under-Edge

A beautifully presented and maintained Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage set along a charming street in the heart of Kingswood.  Offered to the market with no onward chain.

11 Abbey Street is believed to date back to the 1600’s and forms part of a row of cottages adjacent to the 15th Century gatehouse that once controlled access to Kingswood Abbey.   The cottage has been updated and decorated in a tasteful and neutral palette throughout and boasts a wealth of character features across both floors including exposed beams, floorboards, and a corner stone surround fireplace.

The part-glazed front door leads directly into the open-plan living area.  Here there is a corner raised fireplace with a stone surround and wood burner inset which makes a beautiful focal point to the room.  To one side of the fireplace is a useful shelved alcove.  A window fills the room with natural light and provides a lovely outlook across the adjoining cottage gardens.  In the far corner of the room is a turned staircase rising to the first floor with a handy understairs storage cupboard.  The kitchen has been thoughtfully laid out to incorporate base and wall cabinets and open shelves.  There is space for an oven, fridge/freezer and space and plumbing for a washing machine.  

On the first floor there is a small landing with doors leading to the two double bedrooms and bathroom.  Beautiful, exposed floorboards run throughout and into one of the bedrooms.  The principal bedroom is an attractive space with a feature recessed exposed stone wall.  Bedroom two is also a double in size with double fitted wardrobes providing both hanging and shelved storage.  The stylish bathroom has a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, WC and heated towel radiator.
