Anne Brayne’s Cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to restore a property with historical significance. Originally constructed in 1780 and rebuilt in 1907, this detached home has been cherished by the same family for over four decades. Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Willesley, which lies on the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border, this property not only boasts rich heritage but also offers extensive potential for modernisation and enhancement.
The residence, set on a generous plot of 1.53 acres, includes superb gardens and a paddock that is ideal for equestrian use. The current layout spans two floors encompassing an entrance hallway, a spacious drawing room—historically the village schoolroom—alongside a sitting room, study, and a kitchen/breakfast area leading to utility space. The first floor features four well-proportioned bedrooms complemented by a bathroom. With approximately 1,930 sq.ft of living space awaiting your vision, an array of upgrades can be implemented to bring it into contemporary standards.
Notably, as the property is not listed, there is considerable scope to expand subject to planning permissions. For outdoor enthusiasts and those interested in rural living, the property includes dual access points to the paddock alongside ample parking space provided by a gated driveway leading to a double garage with additional room above accessible via an external staircase. The peaceful setting near Westonbirt Arboretum further enhances its desirability for those seeking quick access to nature while enjoying community amenities in nearby Tetbury.
