Chavenage Lane, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

A pretty Cotswold stone cottage which has been thoughtfully extended to create a warm and welcoming home, perfectly suited to relaxed modern living.

The property is entered via a charming dining room, where a feature bookcase marks the position of the original staircase and adds character to the space. To the rear, a hallway provides practical storage for coats and shoes, with stairs rising to the first floor. The downstairs cloakroom offers exceptional cupboard space, cleverly concealing the washing machine, boiler and even a wine fridge.

The cosy sitting room is a delightful space to unwind, centred around a real flame gas fire and enjoying lovely views across the fields beyond. Behind the dining room is a more recent extension which is currently used as a home office but would equally make a wonderful playroom or children’s den. At the end of this space is a snug seating area with bi-folding doors opening onto the garden, creating a perfect spot to relax while enjoying the connection to the outdoors.

A real highlight of the house is the generous kitchen, beautifully designed with plenty of storage, a pantry cupboard and planned space for both a dishwasher and an American-style fridge/freezer. With windows on two sides, the room feels wonderfully light and airy and offers ample work surfaces for cooking and entertaining. A traditional two-door AGA brings a comforting warmth during the cooler months, complemented by an adjacent electric AGA cooker with a gas hob for summer use.

Upstairs, the landing is filled with natural light and leads to the first-floor accommodation, with further stairs rising to the second floor where there is a good-sized guest bedroom. On the first floor there is an additional double bedroom and a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely room, spacious and inviting, with an en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower, as well as a built-in television. A door leads through to an impressive dressing room, a space many would dream of having.

Outside, the gardens have been beautifully landscaped. At the front, a stone pathway leads to the entrance, with parking for one car and an ornamental cherry tree that provides a spectacular display when in bloom.

To the side of the house is a raised terrace, perfect for entertaining friends or enjoying the far-reaching views, with a canopy above offering shade on sunny days. The garden continues around the rear of the house, where mature planting and hedging create a lovely sense of privacy. A patio provides the ideal place to sit and catch the last of the evening sun, and there is also a useful garden shed.

On the road a carport provides covered parking for one vehicle along with additional storage to the rear.
