Tetbury Upton, Tetbury

6 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Tetbury

3 6 2

A unique family home situated in a sought-after hamlet on the outskirts of Tetbury, accompanied by a self-contained annexe apartment and sat within just under an acre of gardens.

Upton Venture has been a much-loved home for some forty years and undergone extensive refurbishment and enlargements during these years. The property was once a pair of semi-detached ‘Holford’ cottages that are so recognisable within the immediate area. The current owners purchased the cottages in the 1980’s and combined the pair into one property along with a substantial extension to one side that now also offers generous garaging and an independent two-bedroom annexe apartment above.  Throughout the accommodation there is a wealth of character that has been retained and showcased around the house, along with modern additions such as sympathetic casement double glazing.

The Main House

The property is approached via a gated driveway that leads to a parking area that will comfortably park several vehicles ahead of the front door. The front door leads into an entrance hallway which has a beautiful solid parquet flooring throughout. There is an adjacent cloakroom with W.C, along with stairs to the first floor, doors to both reception rooms and a useful utility room that has its own external stable door opening to the driveway. The reception rooms are of equal and generous proportions and sit within the original footprint of the two cottages. Each have their own focal fireplace, one with a wood burner inset, along with stone mullion windows and fully exposed stone walls. Both rooms also boast glazed doors that open onto the gardens. The dining room provides access to the kitchen, which boasts a farmhouse feel with a full sized, dual fuel aga that sits within a purpose-built fireplace, and a locally quarried flagstone floor runs throughout the room where there is ample space for a central table to sit and create that desirable hub of the home. A range of wall and base units are fitted along two sized of the room where there is an integrated dishwasher and fridge. The room enjoys triple aspect with windows looking across the gardens. A door to one corner also provides access to the double garage.

Rising to the first floor of the main house are four double bedrooms. Three of the rooms are served by a family bathroom, whilst the master suite has the benefit of two dressing rooms and en-suite facilities. The bedroom itself is very spacious and has a dual aspect along with solid wooden flooring laid throughout.

The Annexe

The annexe is a real bonus that accompanied the house. It is accessed via stone steps at the side of the garage and comprises a great self-contained apartment that would be ideal for either a dependent relative, teenage children or even as an investment property to use on a long-term or holiday rental basis. The accommodation is entered by a stable door that leads into an open-plan kitchen and living area plus two bedrooms and a bathroom. This portion of the property also has an independent gas and electricity supply.

Gardens

Upton Venture sits within gardens that reach just shy of an acre. Along two boundaries there is an attractive Cotswold stone wall whilst fencing and mature hedging runs along the further two sides. The majority of the gardens are laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders along with mature specimen trees. Whilst the gardens were being landscaped, an original well was discovered that now stands a feature within the lawn. Across the rear of the property is a fantastic patio terrace that is orientated to capture south aspect to enjoy throughout the day in the warmer months. Within the garden there is timber framed outbuilding with water and electricity which would make a fabulous office or craft room.

Services

The property is connected to mains gas and electricity. Water is provided via a private bolthole within the garden and drainage via a private septic tank. Council tax band G (Cotswold District Council). The property is freehold.

EPC – D(55).
