6 bedroom detached house to rent

Nestled in the countryside, on a no-through lane on the edge of the village, the Old Bakery exudes timeless elegance and rustic charm. The cottage features three inviting reception rooms, one has a large inglenook open fire, another has an Aga wood burner, and the third a feature fireplace, providing warm and welcoming spaces for relaxation and entertaining, with the crackling fires adding to the cosy ambiance.

The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, which combines rustic charm with modern amenities. Equipped with wooden base units, free-standing larder unit, farmhouse double sink, electric aga and separate matching companion which has an electric oven and a gas hob, this is a delightful area for culinary adventures. French doors lead out to the secluded south-facing patio area which is a real sun trap and perfect for al fresco breakfasts. The kitchen is designed with a large mezzanine level above, creating a unique and versatile space that can be used as a reading area, home office, a bedroom, or a room to host. There is also a separate utility room at the rear of the property. The main cottage boasts three double bedrooms, and a main family bathroom with shower over bath.

Separate to the main cottage is a delightful annexe, seamlessly blending with the historic character of the property. The annexe, also built from Cotswold stone, provides additional living space and can be accessed via the garden. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable living area, a charming downstairs bedroom, a modern shower room, and a second bedroom spanning the whole of the first floor. This annexe is perfect for guests, or a separate living area for extended family members.

The enclosed rear garden has Cotswold stone walls surrounding, mature trees including fruit trees, and a gravelled patio. This 18th-century cottage with its annex offers a peaceful haven where history and modern comfort harmoniously coexist.

Hawkesbury Upton is a very well-situated village, with the towns of Tetbury, Chipping Sodbury and Wotton-Under-Edge all close by. Commuting connections to the motorway network are also very strong with both junctions on the M4 and M5 reachable within 9 miles. The village has a community run shop, an ‘Ofsted Outstanding’ primary school, active church community, a village hall and a pub to name just a few of the amenities on offer. The village is also within catchment to the popular Katharine Lady Berkeley Secondary School in Wotton-Under-Edge and also just a short drive to the highly regarded Westonbirt School on the outskirts of Tetbury. The village hall and recreation ground serve as the hub for local events, including the annual Hawkesbury Horticultural Show, which has been a staple since 1885, and the local cricket and tennis clubs.

A notable landmark near the village is the Somerset Monument, a striking 100-foot high tower built in 1846 to commemorate Lord Edward Somerset. This monument, along with the village’s historic architecture and lush landscapes, makes Hawkesbury Upton a delightful blend of history and natural beauty.
