About this property

A detached Cotswold stone house presented in excellent order offering spacious and versatile accommodation with generous gardens and a useful detached workshop/studio.

Formerly two cottages, this handsome Grade II Listed property offers attractively proportioned and versatile accommodation that cleverly combines period charm with modern creature comforts. The ground floor is comprised of a living room with a stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, a dining room, also with stone fireplace and a kitchen flooded with light from a partially glazed ceiling and fitted with painted shaker units and an AGA range cooker. On the first floor, a spacious room currently used as a sitting room could also be a generous bedroom and has a glazed bridge leading directly to the gardens whilst an internal balcony overlooks the kitchen from the landing. There are three further bedrooms, a shower room and family bathroom with a free-standing roll top bath and shower enclosure. A utility room and cloakroom complete the accommodation.

To the side of the house, the "Yew Inn" is a detached Cotswold stone building currently used as a workshop but with a shower room, heating and a full loft floor above it offers excellent scope for additional guest accommodation or as a home office.

Outside
The gardens are a highlight of the house with extensive lawns surrounded by deep, well-stocked and colourful flower borders whilst at the top of the garden, paths wind through steeply sloping bank planted with low maintenance shrubs. There is a paved seating area close to the house with a timber shed and a further raised seating area at the top of the garden offering superb far-reaching views ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Situation
Painswick, the “Queen of the Cotswolds”, is a thriving community nestling in a delightful Cotswolds setting. Constructed of mellow locally quarried stone, the town has many beautiful buildings dating back as far as the 14th Century. Painswick Churchyard is famous for its impressive array of table tombs and its 99 yew trees about which folklore holds that if a 100th should grow the devil will pull it out. The Village offers a playgroup and primary school with many secondary schools (including grammar schools) being available in the surrounding towns of Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester. There are several local shops, galleries, tearooms, 2 pubs and restaurants in the village along with a pharmacy, doctors’ surgery and a dentist whilst the surrounding towns provide a good range of social and retail amenities to suit all tastes and budgets. Recreational opportunities include tennis, rugby, cricket, golf and bowls clubs with many other groups meeting at the Painswick Centre.
