Westonbirt, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

A quintessentially English cottage, set within the pretty hamlet of Westonbirt. This charming cottage was formerly part of the Old Schoolhouse and is a short walk from the famous Arboretum.

Approached into the hallway,, stairs rise to the first floor with storage beneath and a useful cupboard. There is a study/bedroom three on the ground floor which has an adjacent cloakroom.

The sitting room is spacious with a wood burning stove set in a feature fireplace, double doors open into the garden room which has recently been fitted with a proper roof making it a room to use in all season, and doors to open into the garden.

The kitchen has a butlers sink and marble worktops, integrated appliances which include a slimline dishwasher, oven and ceramic hob, washing machine and fridge. A stable door opens onto the front garden.

Upstairs there are two characterful bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe and the other with eaves storage. The family shower room has recently been installed.

Outside to the front there is driveway parking, access around the side of the house which leads to the private walled garden, sheltered and in a very English Country Garden style.

This extremely pretty and unspoilt village is in a conservation area and most of the cottages in it enjoy a wonderful southerly outlook over rolling countryside. The village has the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum, with 18,000 trees and shrubs set within 600 acres of beautiful, landscaped grounds, together with a lesser-known treasure - a nearby 9 hole public golf course.
