Location

Avening is an historic cotswold village in a pretty valley between the market towns of Tetbury and Minchinhampton, in the south-west of the Cotswolds. Lavender Cottage is situated in the elevated part of the village adjacent to a narrow little lane which shortly afterwards meanders off into the surrounding countryside, in the general direction of Tetbury.

The village has 2 pubs, a popular primary school, a Norman church and a great community spirit. There are genuinely special walks in the vicinity, opportunities to keep a horse locally at livery and the adjacent lanes are very popular with cyclists.

Nearby Nailsworth is a thriving country town with an excellent range of independent retailers and a burgeoning culinary reputation, while Tetbury and Minchinhampton are both steeped in history. London is normally under 2 hours by road with regular train services from Kemble station (Cirencester), scheduled from 75 minutes into London Paddington. Regency Cheltenham or Georgian Bath are almost equi-distant, Minchinhampton has three challenging golf courses and there are the Gatcombe Horse Trials, close by.

Description

Lavender Cottage, 5 Star Lane, Avening is arguably the picture perfect detached period country cottage. The pretty exterior is more than matched by the interior, which the vendors present with real style, carefully preserving the period features. The cottage has a welcoming feel emphasized by a clever use of colours.

Lavender Cottage was extended in 2012 to add a proper entrance hall with cloakroom off and, at first floor, a delightful studio or potential fourth bedroom. At the same time a proper access down to the substantial barrel vaulted cellar beneath, was created. The sitting room, with a wood burning stove, extends the full width of the original cottage and beyond it, the fully fitted kitchen has a Rayburn xt Cookmaster range. It opens directly into the breakfast room. This is a really special room with a vaulted ceiling and French windows opening directly onto the sheltered terrace.

There are good views front and rear to open countryside beyond the village and off road parking for up to 3 cars. Lavender Cottage has a great display of lavender in its pretty garden which was professionally landscaped in 2014, to make most use of the available space. It is delightfully private and full of interest.
