Property description
THE PROPERTY The Cottage, 16a Church Street is a little gem of a 20th Century cottage, quietly tucked away behind shops and literally within yards of most of the towns' important amenities.
Built, we believe, in the 1980's of natural stone elevations, the cottage is Grade II Listed because of its proximity to much older Church Street buildings, the property represents an ideal and particularly quiet place to live in a very convenient part of the town setting. The accommodation consists of fitted kitchen with a good range of oak units and integrated appliances including fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave oven. The comfortable sitting room has a natural stone feature fireplace incorporating a gas fire but which we believe could take a log burner if preferred. This in turn leads into a very attractive dwarf wall hardwood conservatory with windows, French doors and views over the stunning landscaped garden.
At first floor level the landing provides access to the master bedroom with a comprehensive range of fitted pine wardrobes and cupboards, there is a second bedroom, being a single, and the bath has been replaced by a walk-in shower cubicle within the shower room.
The cottage has the benefit of gas fired radiator central heating, most of the windows are timber double glazed items and the previously mentioned courtyard garden is a delightful feature being hard landscaped and well-stocked and tended with a colourful array of flowers and shrubs, and two cedar summer houses.
The cottage is available with no onward chain and an early appointment to view is strongly recommended.
DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of town the property is easily reached on foot by walking down Church Street and through the door next to number 16 which leads down an alleyway to the cottage.
AMENITIES Tetbury, often referred to as the gateway to the Cotswolds, and once voted by Country Life magazine as the third most desirable town in the country, is a thriving historic Cotswold market town situated less than half an hour from both the M4 and M5 motorways and within easy reach of Cirencester, Cheltenham, Bath, Bristol and Swindon.
