For Sale5 Bedroom House in Kingscote, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8 8XX£1,950,000

A classic, beautifully appointed Cotswold stone cottage in a secluded rural setting, with stunning valley views. Surrounded by beautiful, unspoilt countryside just a short distance from the market town of Tetbury, this charming and characterful cottage has a delightful setting overlooking Kingscote Wood and the picturesque valley below. The cottage is dated as early 1800s and has been subject to extensive renovations beginning in 2012, to create a stylish home which respects the age and character of the building. Internally it has been modernised to a very high standard and offers bright, open and airy accommodation, blending the original parts of the building with the contemporary extension using similar wood and an elegant colour palette. The finish is high quality, with attractive cabinetry in the kitchen, premium flooring throughout and attractively presented bedrooms and bathrooms. The deceptively spacious accommodation is well planned across two floors, including a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove, a separate family room, a large L-shaped open plan kitchen and dining room and a useful ancillary space to the side comprising a boot room, utility and pantry. From the entrance hall, with its tucked away cloakroom and WC, there are stairs to the first floor where there are five double bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and a separate family bathroom. The cottage is tucked away down a quiet, private lane where there are just three homes – the cottage is situated in the middle of the three and is fronted by a charming garden enclosed by a drystone wall, stocked with a variety of colourful shrubs and bedding plants. To the side of the house is the detached garage and car port, along with a good-size gravel driveway, where there is off-street parking for a number of cars. The rear garden is truly exceptional, with an elevated decking terrace accessed from the back of the house providing stunning views across the gardens and the valley beyond. Below the terrace, a lawned garden slopes away in a series of tiers, including a terrace under a pretty pergola, raised vegetable planters, extensive lawns and a variety of mature trees including fruiting apple. The setting is magnificent and feels very secluded despite the open aspect and far-reaching views. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
