About this property

Hidden away along a leafy backwater and occupying an elevated elevated position with commanding views over the Painswick Valley sits this detached 3 bedroom cottage.

Approached via a country lane and nestled under mature broad-leaved woodland, this delightful detached Cotswold stone house is thought to date from the 1700s and offers superb views over the Painswick Valley. Presented in stylish contemporary tones, the house offers a pleasing combination of period details such as a Cotswold stone-tile roof, exposed stonework and ceiling beams sitting comfortably alongside modern comforts including a Morso multi-fuel stove, powder-coated aluminium double glazing and a positive input ventilation (PIV) system.

The ground floor accommodation is comprised of a sitting room with stone fireplace housing the wood-burning stove, a kitchen fitted with a range of painted wall and base units and a breakfast room offering superb views over the fields and valley below, a double-aspect dining room and a useful office. On the first floor, there are three evenly-sized bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom whilst a storage room could be used to create an en suite shower room. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation.
