House For Sale £1,500,000
Tetbury Hill House is a modern and beautifully presented family home with extensive
accommodation, set over 4,700 square feet arranged over three floors.
The property has been beautifully finished both internally and externally. It
occupies a discrete position on the cusp of the village of Avening, and
overlooks much of the Gatcombe Park Estate in the opposite valley.
Quality fittings have been installed throughout, and the surrounding garden areas have
been made into friendly family space with terracing and thoughtful landscaping.
The house itself has stood the test of time, with characteristic stone dressing,
mullion windows and bespoke finishes. These classical elements have been
married well with modern conveniences such as double-glazed wooden windows and
full air conditioning throughout.
The ground floor rooms are all of superb proportions, with good ceiling heights and
plenty of light - all are double aspect, with good views.
Internally, the house boasts a number of desirable design features including architraves
and a pleasing mix of natural materials – marble, wood, stone and oak, to name
but a few.
The large kitchen has extensive cupboard space, and can comfortably accommodate a
large table and chairs for entertaining. The kitchen also has access to the
gardens.
On the upper two floors, six of the bedrooms are en-suite, and the second floor
layout gives the option of having a ‘teenage floor’ with separate lounge, or
conversion to a seventh bedroom.
Many of the rooms have views over the adjacent Gatcombe Park Estate and the
surrounding countryside.
Situation
The property is situated on the cusp of the well regarded village of Avening, and
overlooks the Gatcombe Estate to the north, giving a wonderful tree lined view
over the fields and woodland. It is designated as an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
The village of Avening provides two local inns, a Norman Church and a primary
school. Nearby Nailsworth, Cirencester, Tetbury and Stroud offer more
comprehensive facilities and services. Kemble station, only 8.9 miles away,
offers intercity train services to London (Paddington). Minchinhampton Golf
Club boasts two courses nearby with walking and riding available on
Minchinhampton Common.
Outside
The property is accessed via a substantial pillared entrance, with electrically
operated cast iron gates down a box hedge lined drive to the parking area. The
grounds themselves have undergone extensive landscaping to provide various
terraced seating and play areas.
There are a range of mature trees including copper beech, birch, hazel and a small
area of flourishing fruit trees, as well as a number of well organised flower
beds, lavender, and grassed sections.
A substantial rear patio space is ideal for a table and chairs, and has two large
storerooms.
Additional Information
Coach House:
This detached Coach House provides one-bedroom detached accommodation with an open
plan kitchen/living area and a shower room. This sits above a triple garage and
office.
It is completely detached with its own parking and separate spur off of the main

with a coin dressed façade and cut stone style roofing. This makes a great
annexe, or an opportunity to make some rental income.
