2 bedroom cottage for sale

DESCRIPTION St Anthony's Cottage is a quintessential Cotswold stone period cottage which has been subject to a superb, high-quality renovation in recent years. The cottage has been thoroughly stripped back, beautifully refurbished and brought up to date sympathetically in keeping with the original character and restoring its abundance of charm. Located down a leafy drive away from passing traffic, the cottage is an ideal permanent home or Cotswolds second home with an array of countryside walks available immediately from the doorstep including routes around Beverston Castle, while the Cotswold market town of Tetbury is only a few minutes drive away.

Internally, the immaculate accommodation includes on the ground floor a living room with large inglenook stone fireplace featuring a bread oven and wood-burning stove inset. The kitchen spills into the rear garden through double patio doors leading out onto a wonderful sunken terrace which is sheltered by Cotswold stone walling and is perfect for outside dining from early May through to autumn. The kitchen is well-fitted with timber units with a hob, oven and dishwasher, while adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and boasts a further range of fitted units including a Parlour Farm larder and store cupboards. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, the principal of which has built-in storage and enjoys a countryside outlook. The bathroom is well-equipped with both a shower unit and bath.

The cottage occupies a deceptively spacious plot split into two areas. The main garden wraps around the cottage with a sunny east, south and west orientation laid mostly to lawn with the sunken terraced bound by Cotswold stone walling, vibrant acers and hand-crafted larch fencing. Over the driveway, there is a further private garden plus a garage with parking in front for several vehicles. This additional garden has been newly landscaped with a lawn, raised vegetable beds, three very productive apple trees, and a paved terrace overlooking the adjoining fields.

In 2021, planning permission for a single storey extension was granted to create a dining/garden room and install a downstairs WC (ref: 21/04053/FUL).
