This striking loft apartment is in the historic market town of Wotton-under-Edge, it’s the perfect base for families and friends seeking a memorable backdrop to their Cotswold getaway. The heart of this ancient town has been beautifully preserved, with a myriad of listed buildings and medieval architecture. The main street is dotted with independent shops, antique stores and a selection of great restaurants to include a steak house. To learn more about the town and the immediate area, pop into the heritage centre or follow one of the self-guided walking tours. The surrounding landscape is a paradise for keen walkers, with popular routes to the iconic Tyndale Monument or along the Cotswold Way National Trail. Further afield, the elegant city of Bath – the only UK city designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site – makes a lovely day out (22 miles), as does the vibrant city of Bristol (21 miles). Nearby attractions include Berkeley Castle and Painswick Rococo Garden, both within 15 miles.
The stylish apartment is located above the owner’s gift shop. Step inside from the street, into a lobby area where you’ll find space to store coats and boots. This level is also home to a games room with fun decor, a small pool table, and a dartboard – a cosy spot to while away a few hours after dinner. From here, a narrow staircase leads you upstairs, where you’ll find the three inviting bedrooms, all with their own, unique style. The first is a king-size room with characterful exposed beams and a botanical vibe running through the accessories and soft furnishings. The second is a delicate double bedroom, with a pastel colour scheme, panelled feature wall, and an array of enchanting accessories. The remaining bedroom is a cosy twin with a calming coastal theme. All three bedrooms share use of a contemporary bathroom. To the rear of the apartment, discover a sleek kitchen/diner with all the equipment needed for a self-catering getaway, and a wooden dining table for sharing mealtimes as a group. In the evenings, gather in the inviting lounge, which is decorated in warm tones and has an array of sumptuous seating arranged around a TV and an ornamental fireplace. Rounding off the apartment is a cute reading nook with cushions and bean bags, and a wonderful beauty station for getting ready for your days out.
From the kitchen, a door opens onto the terrace where you can sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the views across the rooftops. From here, steps lead down to an enclosed garden which has furniture and charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining and a hot tub to revive weary legs after a day of sightseeing. The apartment has on-street parking, subject to availability.
