About this property

A detached period cottage in Painswick that has been extended to offer generous accommodation with the benefit of a walled garden, superb views, gardens, off road parking and a garage.

Offering stunning views over the valley, parking for several cars, a garage and a substantial southerly-aspect walled garden, this detached property is a rare find in the heart of Painswick. Originally a modest Cotswold stone cottage, it has been extended over the years and now offers generous and versatile accommodation cleverly combining the old and new.

The two generously-sized principal rooms on the ground floor are: an impressive kitchen/dining room with limestone tiling, a range of units and ample space for dining and seating; and charming and characterful sitting room with herringbone flooring, exposed beams and a modern wood-burning stove in an imposing fireplace. Between these rooms there is a further reception room/snug, a useful study and a shower room. On the first floor, there are two good-sized bedrooms and a third smaller room (currently used as a work room) and a family bathroom.

Outside
To the front of the house is an extensive gravelled driveway for parking and a detached single garage. Below the parking is an attractive, gently sloping walled garden that is mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked flower beds and a paved seating area ideal for entertaining. A productive kitchen garden sits beside the garage with a further seating area.

There are several local shops, galleries, tearooms2 pubs and restaurants in the village along with a pharmacy, doctors’ surgery and dentists whilst the surrounding towns provide a good range of social, recreational and retail amenities to suit all tastes and budgets.
