5 bedroom property for sale in Tewkesbury

Welcome to Avon Cottage, a beautiful black and white detached Grade II listed cottage situated within a desirable Gloucestershire village offering the most stunning riverside view which continues across open countryside.

The village of Twyning is located to the North of the medieval town of Tewkesbury and as such offers exceptional commuter links to include the A38, M5 and M50 motorway ensuring Cheltenham, Worcester, Birmingham, Bristol and South Wales are all within easy reach. The village itself has a thriving community and enjoys amenities to include a village primary school, post office and shop and two public houses, The Village Inn and The Fleet which sits on the bank of the River Avon and it is from The Fleet where boat rides into Tewkesbury can be found.

The larger town of Tewkesbury is located within three miles and offers all the facilities one would expect to find; supermarkets, secondary schooling, a thriving High Street with a mixture of independent and national shops and a range of restaurants and bars.

Returning to the property, the house is entered through a stable door which leads through into the entrance hall and it is here that the character and tradition of the cottage can be first appreciated. Windows to the front and side elevations flood the room with natural light, there are flagstones to the floor and traditional wood doors lead into the remaining rooms on this floor which include a recently upgraded cloakroom, a dining room, again flooded with natural light due to the recent addition of the French doors which allows a first glimpse of the garden and views beyond.

The living room is further testimony to the period, a raised step leads into the room where further flagstones can be seen, beams adorn the ceiling and sitting pride of place is the original inglenook fireplace complete with log burner, just ready to enhance the romance of the room. The recent addition of French doors to this room allow easy access to the garden whilst making the room light and bright.

The reason for the addition of the French doors to the room is that the vendors have recently obtained listed building consent for a conservatory/garden room to be added to the rear of the house and the new room would be accessed through the French doors.

The final room is the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has undergone a recent makeover with new work tops and tiling, plus new kitchen units being fitted and the traditional cobbled floor has been sealed. The original Rayburn has been removed and in its place is a modern range cooker. With the removal of the Rayburn, the kitchen is much larger, and the vendors have used the extra space to create a bench seating for the farmhouse, kitchen table. The heating and hot water is now controlled by the newly installed combination boiler.

Moving upstairs, there are four bedrooms in total, two lovely sized double rooms with the master offering fitted wardrobes and both rooms, due to their positioning within the property having wonderful views over the garden, the river and the countryside beyond. The final two bedrooms are good sized bedrooms with a super mezzanine for the bed in in bedroom three. Furthermore, both rooms benefit from fitted bedroom furniture. The room that completes the upstairs is the family bathroom. Having undergone a complete refit, the bathroom compliments the period of the house and offers a roll top bath and a separate walk in shower with both walls and flooring being fully tiled.
