Description - Dating back to the 18th Century, Madison House offers a handsome period property in the heart of the village. An impressive reception hall sets the tone to this fabulous home which is both welcoming, whilst also well-adapted to contemporary living. Once a restaurant, the home is steeped in historic interest with numerous period features, including original fireplaces, aged beams, sash and leaded mullion windows. The sitting room leads off the reception hall and the two rooms could easily be combined to create one large drawing room. A feature fireplace with wood burning stove inset, creates a warming focal point to the sitting room and a deep window seat provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view overlooking the courtyard garden. The kitchen is set to the rear of the house and is a fantastic room, which works equally well for hosting as it does for family suppers. A cream Aga and fitted shaker-style units provide plentiful storage and cooking/preparation spaces. A family room with flagstone floor, provides a second reception space, together with a rear reception hall. Steps lead up from the kitchen to a large utility/boot room, ideal for hiding laundry, muddy boots and country paraphernalia and with room for a second fridge/freezer. A superb full-height cellar serves as a wine-store and cloakroom, with WC. Both the kitchen and rear reception hall open directly to the courtyard garden, offering a sheltered area with a wonderful Mediterranean vibe and the ideal location for alfresco entertaining.
Three spacious bedrooms are located on the first floor, together with a good-sized family bathroom. Sash windows give access from the front facing bedrooms, to the pretty views along New Street, with its many historic buildings. High ceilings throughout, create a wonderful sense of space. Leaded mullion windows add historic charm to the rear facing rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and an office/bedroom 6, are located on the second floor, together with a further bathroom.
The garden is an absolute hidden gem. A large, sheltered courtyard garden provides the ideal space for entertaining family and friends and topiary adds style and interest. The remainder of the garden comprises sweeping lawns, stretching back circa130ft. Well-stocked borders combine to create an archetypal English country garden. A large shed provides useful storage.
Location - Often referred to as the Queen of the Cotswolds, Painswick is a quintessentially charming Cotswold village. Steeped in history, the village offers all that is best about Cotswold living; a thriving and welcoming community with an abundance of local events, two pubs, village shops and several cafes. There is a boutique hotel within a five minute walk from Madison House, offering fine-dining to non-residents and several stylish and independent coffee shops. For sporting enthusiasts, there is a golf course on nearby Painswick Beacon and stunning countryside for riding and cycling.
One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector with sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham and a broad choice of schools in the private sector. Cheltenham has several popular private schools including Cheltenham Ladies and Cheltenham College and there there is also Wycliffe in Stonehouse and Beaudesert Park in nearby Minchinhampton. School buses run from the centre of the village to most of the local schools in both the private and state sector. There is also a popular village primary school just a short walk from Madison House.
Stroud is the nearest town with excellent facilities including a Waitrose supermarket plus several other leading supermarkets, a multiplex cinema and award winning Saturday Farmers Market. Nearby Cheltenham offers excellent shopping, dining and theatre and is well-known for its annual jazz and literature festivals, as well as its National Hunt racecourse.
Well placed for commuting, Painswick is circa 90 minutes to London by train from nearby Stroud mainline station and approximately 20 minutes drive to Cheltenham and Gloucester. The M5 motorway is also within easy reach, for commuting to Bristol and the Midlands.
Agents Note - The vendor rents a parking space to the rear of the property. Subject to discussion with the owners of the parking space, there is the possibility to negotiate an ongoing parking agreement.
