2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Point Road, Avening, Tetbury GL8

Nestled in the heart of the village of Avening is this beautifully presented and decorated period, Cotswold stone cottage which has been refurbished carefully in recent years to compliment the original architecture and character.

Stepping off the High Street through an almost secret gate, you are greeted with a quiet and private courtyard over three levels. The perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or enjoy alfresco dining on a summers evening.

On entering the house through the large double French doors from the courtyard you are welcomed by a striking handmade fitted kitchen with double Belfast sink, large floor to ceiling cupboards and drawers and open shelving giving a light and spacious feel as well as a separate utility/boot room.

Walking through an opening in the thick stone wall, the charm continues in the sitting room with wood floors, wood burning stove and dual aspect windows each having their own quirks.

An inner hallway takes you to the ground floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room while painted wooden stairs take you to the first floor onto the gallery landing with high ceilings.

Upstairs there is the principle bedroom with vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace and the main bathroom with free standing bath, his and hers wash basins and large utility cupboard.

Also accessed from this floor is the upstairs roof terrace with space for a further outside dining area to enjoy the sun until later in the evening.

The village of Avening is located almost equidistant between Nailsworth and Tetbury and provides local facilities which include two public houses, 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 His Majesty King Charles III, 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.
