3 bedroom end of terrace house

Once the village shop, this delightful period home has been thoughtfully converted into a wonderfully versatile and characterful residence.

A welcoming entrance hall, leads into a spacious open-plan living area. A beautiful fireplace with a wood burning stove, complete with space to store logs underneath, creates a cosy focal point on one side. The open plan, well-equipped kitchen is perfect for those who enjoy cooking, with plenty of working space and storage, a range cooker and integrated appliances.

A lovely dining area is ideal for entertaining or family meals. Creamy flagstone floors with underfloor heating add a warm touch of understated luxury. Adjacent is a useful boot room/laundry which offers plenty of storage, along with a cloakroom and access to the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor features a generously sized double bedroom with dual aspect windows and built-in storage. Across the hallway, an open-plan space offers endless possibilities — whether as a sewing room, office, or peaceful snug — with a charming bay window looking out over the valley. Another double bedroom with built-in storage enjoys the benefit of a fabulous en-suite bathroom, complete with both a bath and a separate rainfall shower. A stylish family bathroom with similar features completes this floor.

On the top floor, you’ll find another comfortable double bedroom, along with a smaller room ideal for storage or perhaps a cosy reading nook.

Outside, double gates open to a gravelled parking area beside a raised terrace — perfect for enjoying the outdoors — and the garden with mature shrubs prettily contained against the Cotswold stone wall, along with a detached home office which has light, power and connected to the superfast broadband.

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.
