Long Street, Tetbury, GL8 8AQ

A truly exceptional, split-level penthouse in the heart of Tetbury with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, combining impressive period architecture with sophisticated contemporary interiors, right in the centre of Tetbury.

Set within an eye-catching historic Grade II Listed building, this spacious and individual home offers an exceptional blend of character, style and modern luxury. The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the accommodation during their five-year ownership, creating a home that feels both elegant and welcoming. Improvements include underfloor heating, a high-end kitchen, commercial-grade rubber flooring, natural Crucial Trading seagrass flooring, LED lighting throughout and extensively redesigned ‘Neptune’ charcoal joinery.

The Counting House is a conversion of nine individual apartments, originally completed in 2008. Lift access and beautifully maintained communal walled gardens are both noteworthy features of the building, along with the deep-set, wide turned staircase that rises through the communal entrance hallway.

The apartment's front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with useful coat storage, shelving and a separate cupboard housing the electricity meter. From here, doors lead to the kitchen and spacious sitting room, while stairs rise to the upper level. The impressive sitting room occupies a generous space overlooking Long Street through two large traditional sash windows, which also fill the room with natural light. A striking, full-length panelled wall creates a dramatic focal point, while original beams, high ceilings and contemporary decoration combine beautifully to create a sophisticated yet comfortable entertaining space.

The kitchen is a particular highlight, designed in a sophisticated ‘Neptune’ charcoal Shaker style with granite worktops and upstands. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, plus a ‘Smeg’ electric range cooker with induction hob which will remain at the property, complemented by a stainless-steel splashback and wide extractor hood. A discreet built-in cupboard provides plumbing and space for a washing machine, while oak floating shelves add warmth and character. Durable flooring and underfloor heating make the room as practical as it is stylish. Across the rear of the room is a bespoke fitted unit, cleverly combining a home bar with dresser-style crockery storage.

The staircase rises from the hallway to a spacious landing, where the property's bedroom accommodation is found. Bedroom one is a particularly atmospheric room, featuring numerous original ceiling beams and two rooflight windows, which create a wonderfully light and airy feel. The luxurious en-suite has been finished in a contemporary style, with a large double walk-in shower, wash hand basin, mirrored cabinet, thermostatic controlled underfloor heating and WC.

Bedroom two is another generous double bedroom, again with its own beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, featuring a freestanding bath, vanity-mounted basin and WC, complemented by a distinctive white Turnbull & Scott floor-mounted radiator. Bespoke carpentry has created a substantial walk-in wardrobe and dressing area, providing excellent storage. Beside this is a large additional storage room containing the hot water cylinder. Both principal bedrooms, together with one of the en-suites, benefit from the property's distinctive Turnbull & Scott floor-mounted radiators, an unusual and characterful design detail. A third bedroom is also located off the landing, offering versatile accommodation and currently used as a study and additional wardrobe area. It could readily become a guest bedroom, dedicated home office or more conventional third bedroom. Throughout the upper floor, natural seagrass flooring continues from the staircase into the bedrooms, complemented by LED lighting and the property's signature charcoal-grey joinery and doors.

To the rear is a beautifully manicured communal walled garden, providing an unexpectedly peaceful retreat despite the property's wonderfully central position. The garden comprises a southerly facing patio terrace, lawn and several planted beds and borders, together with two mature trees. There is also a substantial timber storage shed at the rear of the garden, providing useful additional space for wheelie bins, garden furniture and other household items. A rear gate provides access to Close Gardens.

The property is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage. Council Tax Band D (Cotswold District Council).

The property is leasehold, with a 150-year lease commencing in 2008. There is a monthly service charge of £410, together with an annual ground rent of £150.  We are advised that pets are permitted.
