Tamarisks a fine old character home secreted away close to the heart of Wotton under Edge, just a few moments walk from all the amenities of the High Street, with far reaching views across the roof tops of this lovely old country town towards the Cotswold escarpment. The house is steeped in history and was formally owned by The Right Honourable Earl of Berkeley, we understand. The original wing is understood to date back to the 1750, with later extensions in the 1800 s and again in 2001, forming the substantial and elegant property we find today. The position is perfect for those seeking a character home and generous gardens, yet not isolated from neighbours and the community. It sits at the head of a circa 0.33 acre plot, with sweeping lawns, enclosed by mature shrubs and trees. A haven of seclusion from Springtime onwards, where you can enjoy the gardens from thoughtfully designed seating areas a covered barbecue area at the far end is a great spot for al fresco entertaining. Stepping in through the front door, you will appreciate the Victorian layout, the central hallway and staircase with reception rooms either side. These are blessed by traditional high ceilings and expansive sunlit windows weather permitting one features an elegant wood burner, the other enjoys an open fireplace. There is a separate formal dining room with a wood burner and hidden circular steps leading down to the cellar below. The dual aspect and smartly fitted kitchen breakfast room overlooks a private courtyard sun trap to the side, perfect for a cuppa. Completing the ground floor are the cloakroom and utility room. On the first floor you will discover five generous bedrooms both principal and guest rooms have en suite shower rooms and the family bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. A second concealed staircase leads you to a handy attic room, again with views towards the landmark trees at the top of Wotton Hill. Tamarisks is quite unique, offering a high degree of historical charm and elegance, promising a lifestyle of comfort and beauty.
