A delightful cottage, set in the heart of the village with a charming garden and beautiful period features with the additional bonus of high ceilings – certainly not the tradition amongst cottages.

Approached from the rear of the property, the initial view of the garden has a welcoming feel before stepping across the threshold of the cottage into a spacious hallway. There is a downstairs cloakroom and the kitchen- diner is in a farmhouse style with ample storage and a period flagged floor. An open utility room at the end provides planned space for appliances and a stable door into the garden.

The sitting room has large windows overlooking the front, a wood burning stove and beams in the high ceilings, quirky storage at one end adds even more character to the room.

Upstairs on the first floor is a large bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, there are two double bedrooms and a large landing, these walls are stud walls so this space could be reworked if necessary. On the second floor is a master bedroom, set amongst the vaulted ceiling, there is an open plan shower and basin.

Outside there is a useful area for storing the bins and the oil tank, a gated entrance leads into the garden, which has been beautifully landscaped, mainly laid to lawn. There is a stone storage shed which has the potential to become a work from home office, subject to planning.

The village of Avening is located almost equidistant between Nailsworth and Tetbury and provides local facilities which include two public houses one of which, The Queen Matilda has very good accommodation and the other The Bell Inn has an Indian take-away. There is a primary school with an outstanding reputation, and a historic Saxon Church. Located on the northern edge of Avening is the well-known Minchinhampton Golf Club, boasting two 18 hole courses.

Avening is very much in the “Royal Triangle” with Gatcombe Park, the home of The Princess Royal being immediately to the north of the village and Highgrove House, the country home of HRH The Prince of Wales, a few miles away near Tetbury. The nearest towns are Nailsworth and Tetbury, both of which have a reasonable range of local facilities including shops, public houses and primary schools with a secondary school at Tetbury. Also within the local area are a number of places of interest including the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum with some 18 thousand trees and shrubs in approximately 600 acres of landscaped grounds.
