Maximalist design brings this mini Cotswolds cottage roaring to life

Exterior of stone cottage on cobbled lane.

The peaceful village of Tetbury and its surrounding rolling hills has always been a huge draw for Sylvie and Mark, not least because family and friends are based nearby. ‘It’s the perfect escape from our busy lives, somewhere we can slow down and really switch off,’ says Sylvie. After years of visiting, the couple yearned for a place of their own.

They spotted the 18th-century cottage for sale and it instantly caught their attention, with its classic Cotswold stone exterior and prime position on the iconic Chipping Steps, which date back to the medieval period. The garden was also a real find, with incredible views across Gloucestershire.
