Bumblebee Cottage

23 New Church Street is a characterful three‑storey house resting in the historic town of Tetbury in Gloucestershire.

A lovely base for discovering this picturesque corner of the county, ideal for couples, families or close friends looking to spend quality time together, this appealing abode offers flexible sleeping arrangements, an inviting woodburning stove and an enclosed garden for relaxed mornings and unhurried evenings.

Coming in from the quiet street that leads into Tetbury’s historic market town, you step out and take in the charming exterior of 23 New Church Street, a characterful cottage with an inviting presence.

Walking through the porch, you enter a pretty sitting room where an exposed stone fireplace becomes the natural focal point.

A woodburning stove rests within it, encouraging you to place a fresh log inside before sinking into the sofa or one of the armchairs while admiring the artwork that adds warmth and personality to the space.

From here, you wander into the dining room where soft light settles across the table, creating an appealing spot to gather for mealtimes and conversation.

The staircase rises from this room, though for now you continue ahead into the kitchen, where a striking granite centre island takes centre stage.

You might spread out ingredients here as you prepare supper together, reach for utensils, stir a simmering pan or simply perch with a drink while chatting.

French doors open to the enclosed garden outside, a delightful sun trap where you can enjoy a slow morning with a cup in hand, read in a quiet corner or share an alfresco meal as the day draws to a close.

When you head upstairs, the first floor reveals two calming bedrooms decorated in soothing hues.

The first king-size room offers a dressing table for unhurried starts to the day, while the nearby bathroom provides a refreshing space to prepare before exploring Tetbury.

A king-size bedroom on this floor adds another restful retreat with thoughtful decoration designed to help you unwind.

Climb again to the top floor where a spacious king-size bedroom sits beneath the eaves, offering built-in storage to keep belongings neatly arranged.

Its en suite bathroom blends contemporary styling with a charming beamed ceiling overhead, creating a lovely place to enjoy a relaxing soak or a revitalising shower after a day out.

Stepping into the garden, you find an appealing enclosed space with seating that invites you to enjoy the fresh air throughout the day.

With Tetbury’s independent shops, eateries and traditional pubs within an easy wander, it is simple to spend time exploring the town at your own pace.

If you venture further, Westonbirt Arboretum offers towering avenues of ancient trees, immersive seasonal colour and peaceful woodland pathways perfect for reflective strolls.

A visit to Cirencester brings Roman heritage, boutique shopping and spacious parkland ideal for gentle afternoons outdoors.

For a picture‑book setting, Castle Combe invites you to wander along its pretty streets, watch the river drift beneath its stone bridge and experience memorable dining in an atmospheric village setting.
