2 bedroom house

An immaculately presented two bedroom apartment in the heart of Tetbury


Description

The Counting House is an impressive Grade II Listed building which was converted in 2008 into nine elegant apartments by Edward Blake Ltd, a local development company with an excellent reputation. The apartment is situated above Prince Charles' Highgrove Shop in the heart of this delightful market town.
This exceptionally attractive accommodation comprises a communal entrance hall, with a wide Georgian staircase, as well as a residents’ lift to the second floor landing and to the property's dedicated entrance hall. The apartment, on its first level, has an attractive cloakroom, a modern, recently fitted kitchen with a number of integrated appliances. Off the kitchen is a space for both a washing machine and dryer, concealed by a complementing bi-fold door. Down the hall is the living room with east and west facing windows, the latter comprising a Juliette balcony.
Across from the entrance hall is an additional room currently used as a study. It usefully includes a large fitted wardrobe.
A feature staircase leads to the two attractive bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms and built in wardrobes.
The property benefits from electric central heating and plenty of character with period style features throughout including sash windows. A good sized landscaped communal garden is found to the rear with a garden room for the use of all residents, a covered bicycle store and bin area. There is rear access through a locked pedestrian gate leading directly to Tetbury library. Whilst the apartment has no parking, there are ample opportunities in and around the centre of Tetbury, many of which are unrestricted on time, the nearest being around the library’s location.
This stylish property provides a secure base for those who may also have interests away from Tetbury.

Location

Tetbury is a popular and lively traditional Cotswold market town, well known for its 17th and 18th Century architecture. Historically, the town was known for its wool market and more recently antique shops but today boutique and specialist shops, together with cafes, restaurants and bistros have come to the fore. As a result there is a bustling feel to the town with well-known shops now including the Highgrove shop, Quayles Delicatessen, Moloh and the award winning Hobbs bakery. For more general shopping there is a Tesco superstore on the edge of the town and, twice a week, there is an open market under The Market House. Waitrose supermarket can also be found in nearby Malmesbury.
Tetbury, once voted the third best town in which to live by Country Life Magazine, also supports a splendid parish church which has been described as having one of the best Georgian gothic designs; it has the fourth highest church spire in England. Each autumn too there is annual music festival in the church attended by international musicians.
Nearby is the world famous National Arboretum which covers 600 acres and boasts one of the most varied specimen collections in Europe, as well as some 17 miles of trails. Other recreational opportunities include golf at Westonbirt and Minchinhampton, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, motor racing at the Castle Combe circuit and horse eventing at Badminton and Gatcombe. There are also gymnasia in Tetbury and Malmesbury, as well as at the Cotswold Leisure Centre in Cirencester. Tetbury is particularly well placed for the commuter with Kemble station and the M4 and M5 motorways all being within easy access. Nearby, larger commercial centres include Bath, Bristol and Cheltenham, all of which provide excellent shopping and cultural opportunities.
