Description

Description

Anne Brayne’s Cottage is an interesting detached house which has been in the same family for over 40 years which is situated in the pretty and unspoilt hamlet of Willesley, near Westonbirt and Tetbury on the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border. With origins of 1780 and rebuilt in 1907, the property is understood to have once been the village school and school mistress’s house. The peaceful and rural setting offers a tranquil lifestyle coupled with superb gardens and paddock extending in all to 1.53 acres.  

The accommodation, which is now in need of general modernisation, is arranged over two floors and comprises on the ground floor an entrance hall, a large drawing room, which was the former school room, a sitting room, study, kitchen/breakfast room with rear hall with utility room off. On the first floor, there are four well-sized bedrooms and a bathroom. The accommodation extends in all to 1,930 sq.ft. and has great potential for the next owners to undertake upgrades and modernisation. Since the house is not listed, there is also scope to further enlarge the property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. 

Externally, a gated driveway provides ample parking up to a double garage with a room over accessed via an external staircase. The house sits with good level gardens which enjoy a high degree of privacy. The additional benefit of a paddock (1.2 acres) is situated to the side and rear of the house creating a lovely outlook and has a gated access to the lane. Perfect for the hobby equestrian, there is a timber stable block with two boxes, barn and tack room with power.
