West Street, Tetbury

A charming character home, Buttercup Cottage is a pretty Cotswold stone period cottage situated on one of Tetbury’s oldest and most picturesque side streets, just moments from the historic Market Place. Within easy walking distance of the church, independent shops, cafés and beautiful countryside walks, it enjoys a wonderfully convenient yet tucked-away setting.

Believed to date back to the 18th Century and built predominantly of natural stone, the cottage was sympathetically extended to the rear in the late 20th Century, successfully blending period charm with additional living space whilst retaining an abundance of original features including exposed beams and a traditional fireplace.

Having most recently been used as a successful holiday let, the accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and extends to approximately 829 sq ft. On the ground floor, an entrance lobby opens into a spacious and characterful sitting room, where the surprisingly high ceiling enhances the sense of space while period features create a warm and inviting feel. Beyond this, the kitchen is well fitted and enjoys underfloor heating along with a breakfast bar, making it a practical and sociable space for everyday living.

A charming winding staircase rises to the first floor, where there are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, along with a modern shower room. A drop-down ladder provides access to the attic, which offers clear potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Externally, accessed directly from the kitchen, the delightful rear garden extends to approximately 70ft and enjoys a sunny aspect. Beautifully landscaped, it features a lawn, gravelled sun terrace, well-stocked flower beds and a timber garden store. A particularly lovely feature is the view of the church spire from the garden, adding to the cottage’s charm and sense of place.

On-street parking is readily available in West Street, with additional permit parking available at the nearby West Street public car park.
