Description
This charming period home occupies an outstanding position on the Chipping Steps, a picturesque and historical street within the Cotswold market town of Tetbury and just a moments walk from all its amenities. The property is Grade II listed and was constructed in the mid-18th Century as former stables before being converted in the 20th Century. Despite an attractive cottage style frontage, the property errs more on the side of a house having been largely extended at the rear providing generous and deceptive accommodation with good ceiling height extending to around 1,760 sq.ft.
The ground floor is accessed through an entrance hall at the side with a front reception room which is dual-aspect complete with a fireplace and gas burning stove. At the heart of the home and configured at the rear, there is a superb open plan kitchen/family room reaching 22ft and double patio doors flowing out to the garden. The courtyard style garden is ideal for 'inside-outside' living and alfresco dining. The stylish fitted kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and wine cooler. A central hallway has side access in, a WC off and a useful cupboard housing the washing appliances. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a magnificent room complete with fitted wardrobes and views over the town towards the surrounding countryside. There is a family bathroom well equipped with both a roll-top bath and a shower unit, whilst there is an additional separate shower room across the landing.
Number 33 has a most favourable position on the steps benefitting from level access and views across the green at the front. There is a side passage with built-in storage which provides private access to the rear garden, ideal for garden maintenance and bin storage. The external areas are ideal for easy low maintenance comprising a small front garden, and courtyard areas to both the side and rear. Free unrestricted on-street parking is available at the foot of the Chipping Steps, whilst The Chippings public car park is just a moments walk away. In addition, the town offers permit parking options within easy reach.
