Cottage for sale in West Street, Tetbury GL8

Positioned on the southern side of West Street with an elevated outlook across the Cutwell Valley, a versatile three-bedroom Cotswold stone cottage offering a buyer further potential to enlarge and improve, if desired.

This three-bedroom, detached cottage has been home to the current owners for the past five years, and whilst currently offering comfortable accommodation the property is a fantastic opportunity for someone to complete a renovation project. This property has had a vast amount of structural work from floor to ceiling including a new slate roof and attractive flush casement double glazing throughout, and would still benefit from a few finishing touches in addition to the areas the current vendors have creatively started, all to create an outstanding character home in the heart of the town centre. The accommodation currently reaches just shy of 1100sq.ft and is spread across four floors but boasts active planning permission to increase the living space – Cotswold District Ref:21/04076/ful.

This room has a set of bi-fold doors across the entire rear, south side of the cottage which has the most fabulous view over the tiered garden and the iconic Cutwell Valley. This room consists of a large dining area which sits beside the doors, a sitting area with a focal exposed Cotswold stone fireplace with log burner, plus a galley, shaker style kitchen with pale wall and base units, a bowl and a half ceramic sink and integrated appliances that include a double oven, electric hob and fridge freezer.

To one side of the room is a newly replaced oak staircase which runs the height of the four floors. Leading to the basement level comprises an atmospherically decorated snug which is a great television room with mood lighting. This floor is also home to a cloakroom and utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a stable door leading on to the garden.

The three bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors and all of which boast plantation shutters and white-washed exposed beams. The master bedroom and beautifully appointed family shower room are both on the first floor, and bedrooms two and three are on the second floor. The shower room is finished to a high standard with a walk-in shower, marble twin basins sitting on an oak unit and W.C.
