Property description

Overview

Dating back to the 17th Century, this period natural stone townhouse has been considerably improved over recent years, providing almost 3,000sqft of stunning residential accommodation.

The flexible space offers 3 / 4 bedrooms, along with 3/ 4 reception rooms, a high specification kitchen / diner, study area and utility. There’s also a very pretty walled garden to the rear, as well as parking for two vehicles. The ‘Great Hall’ reception room is a fantastic versatile space, with feature lighting, and large traditional windows providing lots of light.

As you enter the property from Long Street, you are greeted with an entrance hallway, providing access to the ground and first floors. To the front, there’s a snug / TV room, leading into a study area, as well as a door down to the cellar. On through, you come to the dining room, with a step up into a high specification kitchen with Miele appliances, including 4 ovens. Further on, there’s an impressive and charming additional ground floor reception room with stone floors and its own Well. Further on you also then access the utility space, a ground floor shower room, as well as a large gravelled rear garden, plus parking for two vehicles.

The first floor can be accessed from two staircases. The first is at the front of the property from the entrance hallway, with the second at the rear. When arriving on the first floor there’s doors through to two double bedrooms, as well as a Jack and Jill shower room. There is also then a doorway through to the most stunning ‘Great Hall’ which is an amazingly versatile space, given its shear size. We believe that this used to be part of a church given the impressive large windows and high ceilings. This space could be utilised in many ways, whether that be a socialable family room, second lounge / diner or even the most amazing party room.

On the top floor, there’s a spectacular master suite with vaulted ceiling, balcony door overlooking the ‘Great Hall’, as well as stairs leading up to a small ensuite shower room. This room is full of history and emulates the character of the property.

55 Long Street is located in the most enviable position. All of its future residents will be extremely privileged to become a part of its ongoing history. It’s very unusual to have such a large and impressive property as a residential dwelling, especially in such a desirable location.

Tetbury is often referred to as the gateway to the Cotswolds. Prince Charles’ Highgrove estate, and Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park are located nearby, as well as the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum, which is not only a beautiful attraction to visit, but also now hosts impressive live music concerts throughout the spring / summer months.
The town is quintessentially English, full of charm and history. It has often been voted one of the most beautiful places to live in England, and I am sure after a quick visit you will see why. There’s also excellent commuter links to Gloucester, Bristol, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Swindon, with direct train links to London and beyond. The schools are rated top class, and the high street is full of unique, independent shops, bars and cafes, with a particular focus on antiques.

This really is a truly rare and unique property in one of the most idyllic locations.
