Anne Brayne’s Cottage is a detached residence that possesses a rich history, having been in the same family for over four decades. Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Willesley, near Tetbury and Westonbirt, this property dates back to 1780 with a rebuilding phase completed in 1907. Originally serving as the village school and school mistress's residence, it sits on an expansive plot of 1.53 acres featuring well-maintained gardens and an adjoining paddock. The potential for modernization is significant as the interiors require general upgrading to meet contemporary standards. Spanning two floors, the layout includes an entrance hall, large drawing room (historically the school room), sitting room, study, kitchen/breakfast area with a rear hall leading to a utility space. The upper floor accommodates four generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom, covering approximately 1,930 sq.ft. Importantly, as the property is not listed, there exists additional opportunity to expand or alter the current structure pending necessary planning approvals.
Externally, access is via a gated driveway leading to ample parking beside a double garage featuring an upstairs room accessible through an external staircase. The cottage is enveloped by private gardens and benefits from scenic views extending into the paddock area which includes stabling facilities suitable for equestrian pursuits. Willesley itself offers a quaint community atmosphere with access to essential amenities nearby, while Tetbury provides further shopping options rich in history and character. The property's location also allows for easy commuting with good transport links to major cities including London and Bristol.
