About this property

A semi-detached period house hidden from view along a footpath offering four bedrooms, charming views and a level garden.

Hidden from view and approached along a pedestrian footpath, this four bedroom semi-detached Cotswold stone house offers versatile accommodation, a level garden and far-reaching views. Formerly two cottages, the house has been extended and improved over the years but retains many charming period features including exposed ceiling beams, exposed stone walls, cast iron fireplaces and stone window mullions whilst offering scope for a new owner to modernise and improve the accommodation to suit their own tastes and requirements.

The ground floor is comprised of a sitting room with cast iron fireplace with tiled slips, a dining room with open fireplace and exposed stone walls, a garden room, bathroom and fitted kitchen. There are two bedrooms on the first floor along with a compact shower room whilst separate staircases lead to two further bedrooms on the second floor, both with dormer windows offering superb views over the valley.

Outside
The gardens are to the front of the house and are mainly laid to grass with mature hedge boundaries. Our client informs us that a former well in the garden has been securely capped off. A narrow footpath runs across the rear of this and the other cottages in the row affording access onto Vicarage Street alongside Mayfield.

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 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.

Recreational opportunities include tennis, rugby, cricket and bowls clubs with many other groups meeting at the Painswick Centre. In the wider area, events include national hunt racing at Prestbury Park, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park and golf at Painswick and Minchinhampton Golf Clubs.
