5 Bedroom Detached House, Painswick, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6 6TX
Tenure Type: Freehold
Property Description
Having originally been a pair of modest workers cottages, Yewricks has been extensively and sympathetically extended and modernised by our clients to now offer bright and spacious contemporary living space all finished to a most appealing quality. Externally, much of the Cotswold character has been carefully retained through the use of Cotswold roof tiles, lime mortar, powder coated casement windows and an oak porch however internally the house offers a much more contemporary perspective incorporating high quality materials including limestone and oak flooring and sumptuous bathroom and kitchen fittings.
On entering the hallway from the oak-framed porch, the galleried landing creates a sense of space and light that continues throughout the house. The triple aspect sitting room has a fireplace with oak bresummer beam and multi-fuel stove and double doors opening to the timber-framed conservatory whilst the 27’ kitchen/breakfast room features a cream AGA and bespoke oak units topped by granite work surfaces. The dining room and study are both evenly proportioned and have stone fireplaces. The master bedroom suite has a vaulted ceiling and two banks of built-in wardrobes with a luxurious en suite bathroom comprised of a double ended bath, a pair of sink units and a spacious walk-in shower. There are two more bedroom suites with a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
