A home office and spacious laundry room are also located at this level. Steps from the reception hall lead to the rear wing of the house, where a snug, scullery, boot room and the kitchen are located. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home.

Property information from this agent
About this agent
Painswick, arguably one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, is situated between Cheltenham and Stroud. It contains an exceptional number of fine old buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries with a particularly special Grade 1 listed church as its centrepiece. From the village there are commanding views in every direction across a verdant landscape comprising unspoilt valleys, interspersed by a series of little country lanes. The village, which has good local amenities, is popular with all ages but particularly amongst the retired. Painswick is ideally located for Cheltenham and Gloucester and within two hours of London by road, being very accessible to the A417 which links the M4 (Junction 15 with Junction 11a of the M5 motorway). Cheltenham has a main line station (Birmingham New Street from 45 minutes) and this famous Regency Spa town is also famous for its racing, literature, music and science festivals as well as its excellent schools, shopping, restaurants and theatre. The Painswick Office serves the village and a large area from across to the River Severn, round the southern edge of Gloucester and Cheltenham to the villages to the north of Cirencester. It is consequently responsible for selling properties in some of the most sought after locations in the whole region while working closely with its sister offices at Stroud and at Minchinhampton and The Mayfair Office in central London.
