A Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Tetbury with exquisite interiors and a private garden.

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, an award-winning bakery, restaurants and bistros have come to the fore. There is superstore shopping on the edge of town and a wider choice of supermarkets, shops and leisure facilities in nearby Cirencester (12 miles).

There are direct rail services to London Paddington from Kemble and Swindon stations, the latter scheduled to take approximately 55 minutes. There is good access to the M4 and M5 towards Bristol and the A419/A417 on the other side of Cirencester. The main regional centres include Cheltenham, Bristol and Swindon, all of which are within daily commuting distance.

There is a good choice of private and state schools in the area including Westonbirt, Beaudesert Park and the Cheltenham Colleges.

Nearby is the world-famous National Arboretum at Westonbirt 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 Lakes, motor racing at the Castle Combe circuit, racing at Cheltenham, polo at Cirencester and Beaufort polo clubs and horse trials at Badminton and Cirencester Park.
