New Church Cottage is a gorgeous townhouse, with an air of Georgian elegance. The cottage is in the heart of Tetbury, one of the Cotswolds’ most famous market towns, renowned for its royal connections and antique shops. The house has two stunning, double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a beautiful living room with a wood burner, a small but perfectly formed kitchen-dining area and a charming courtyard with a BBQ. Walking straight into the cosy living space of the cottage, you’ll get a sense of its rich heritage, dating back to the 18th Century. An antique-surround wood burning stove is the centrepiece of the room, with tasteful historic artwork, Sanderson fabrics and antique furnishings giving the room a timeless, elegant feel. Through the living room sits a small but well-equipped kitchen, hand-painted and stocked with all that you’ll need during your stay, with a handy dining space to the rear.
