The beautifully restored oak, parquet floor opens into the Kitchen on the right. Drawing Room & Morning Room on the left and ahead is the Orangery leading into the garden. The staircase, fitted with a natural, sisal runner leads up to the first and second floors
Drawing Room
An inviting, roaring fire in the marble fireplace for the winter months, adds warmth to this luxuriant, moss green Drawing Room, delineated by an elaborate Georgian frieze and shutters framing the sash windows. A richly pleated, lichen velvet sofa and Soho Home boucle armchairs add opulence to the room with a straw, gold coffee table, laden with hearty art and photography books, inviting you to 'tuck up' with friends and family
Morning Room
Leading into the Morning Room via an arch with original Victorian pitch pine flooring, this is a lovely room for dinner. A French antique oak table, resplendent with acorn legs, comfortably seats dinner for eight with ample, cream leather and navy velvet Timothy Oulton dining chairs or a more cosy fit for ten. Lavish, octagonal mirrors sit above the Bath stone fireplace and the long sash windows lead the eye into the Orangery - at night all is twinkling
Orangery
A magical, glass oasis with shuttered shade to enjoy morning coffee as the sun stretches across the garden. Or a simple supper, with the rain atmospherically pounding on the glass and running down below to the well, and a river that’s long since sunk beneath Tetbury. The room has a stretch-out linen sofa for slouching whilst listening to the birds, music or watching rivulets of rain on the glass. The traditional English pine table readily compliments the French aesthetic, as the Charente candelabra reflects the midday sun. A tranquil room, with large York flagstones, stone coloured linen and wrought iron chairs, sink-in cushions and dimmable lights for ambience
Kitchen
This historic connection with Oldham house is no more prevalent than in the original flagstones of the kitchen. A well worn route show the passage of time over centuries, where feet have worn a path from the second front door to the back of the house. A shallow ‘hollow,' where cooks cooked, over what would have been an open fire place, where there now sits an AGA. It creates a pleasant ambience to feel the history of the house.
The kitchen is well stocked: an Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, Nutribullet blender, Air Fryer oven, a dish washer, filtered water tap, secondary fridge and a separate gas hob for the summer months when preferable to cooking on the AGA. The AGA has four ovens, two circular boiling and simmering hotplates and a separate warming hot plate. The antique, oak side board stocks plenty of crockery and the kitchen leans towards a French influence, utilising a Provencal tiled table, perfect for preparing meals and a large French dresser . 'Claude' the Stag peruses all proceedings

Walled Garden
The pièce de résistance a secret, walled garden in the midst of a market town. A beautifully private lawn surrounded by Cotswold dry stone walling with ancient roses, hanging honeysuckle and twisted wisteria. A small path wides it's way from the Orangery door, a cottage garden planted with Sea of Blossom, Salvia, Lavender and Nemesia leads towards small boxed hedges, and beyond the arbour a lawn, framed with Japanese Anemone, pink Phlox and Alliums appearing earlier in the Summer. During the Spring a blanket of Snowdrops, Crocuses and Daffodils rear their heads. Over time the garden will be planted with more wild flowers that encourage a natural habitat for birds, bees and insects creating an organic place of tranquility
