Long Street, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

An imposing Grade II listed Georgian building, within the very heart of Tetbury, which has been completely refurbished and upgraded to the finest of standards and is available entirely as a home or part-home and part-business.

The property benefits from 'mixed flexible use' and is currently an esteemed art gallery, on the ground and lower ground floor, and residential accommodation above. Any buyer may continue with this mix or use the house wholly as a private home without needing to apply for planning permission.

Approached through the handsome front door into an inner atrium, with a cloaks cupboard and double doors into the hallway. Striking Edwardian encaustic tiles have been restored to create a welcoming entrance.

The reception room has restored wooden flooring, original restored sash windows and a fireplace. The original chandeliers have a nod to the symbol of Tetbury with dolphins dancing around them.

Stairs lead to the lower ground floor with restored limestone flooring, and lighting for best displaying the artwork. Equally, it could be used as a wine cellar or gym. There are two large lockable cupboards.

The inner hallway, where a stunning Georgian staircase leads to the promise of further elegant rooms, has a small kitchenette, shower room and downstairs cloakroom. A doorway leads to an internal corridor, perfect for storage, with a door to the front of the property and access to an emergency right of way at the back over a neighbours courtyard.

The original oak staircase winds to the first floor. Here there is a contemporary kitchen with a peninsular unit and a window seat overlooking the back of Tetbury. There is an integrated oven and hob, dishwasher and microwave. A utility room has planned spaces for a washing machine and drier, large pantry-style cupboards and an eye-level fridge and freezer.

The elegant panelled drawing room has a feature fireplace and four sets of refurbished double glazed sash windows overlooking Long Street with window seats in each. The room divides naturally into a seated area and a dining area.

On the second floor are two beautifully appointed bedrooms with a substantial bathroom with a bath with a view and a large walk-in rainfall shower. On the third floor is a bedroom with a platform bed and access onto the roof terrace.

The breathtaking views from the very private roof terrace are magical - one can look across the rooftops to the fields beyond Tetbury, enjoying a glass of wine from this very rare vantage point!

The current owners have a parking space in the Dolphins Hall car park, or there is parking outside the house.

This magnificent historic house is offered with nothing needing to be done and, with no onward chain, the purchase could be swift.
