A charming Grade II Listed Cotswold cottage dating back to the 16th century, tucked away in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Painswick.
Dating back to the 16th century, this enchanting Grade II Listed cottage occupies a peaceful and secluded position within the sought-after Cotswold town of Painswick, just moments from the historic St Mary's Church, renowned for its iconic collection of 99 yew trees. Rich in period character and beautifully presented throughout, the property seamlessly combines timeless heritage with comfortable modern living.
Arranged over three floors, the cottage retains a wealth of original features, including handsome stone mullion windows, charming window seats, exposed character details, and a welcoming wood-burning stove that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a well-appointed kitchen/dining room, and an elegant drawing room. On the first floor, a spacious sitting room provides a wonderful additional reception space, alongside a double bedroom and family bathroom. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms and a second bathroom, creating flexible accommodation ideal for family living or visiting guests.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped Mediterranean-style gravel garden has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance while providing an attractive and private setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. A substantial stone-built outbuilding offers excellent storage and includes a cloakroom. Part of the outbuilding presents exciting potential for conversion into a garden studio, home office, or atmospheric outdoor dining room, subject to the necessary consents.
A garden gate opens onto a quiet side lane, providing convenient pedestrian access, while unrestricted on-street parking is available directly in front of the cottage.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential Cotswold home of considerable charm and character in one of the region's most picturesque and desirable villages.
