Entrance Hall, Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Dining Room/Bedroom 4, Sitting Room, Garden Room, Study, Utility, 3 Bedrooms, 2 with En-suite and the Principal Bedroom with Walk-in Dressing Room, Family Bathroom, Large Garden, Garage/Workshop, Shed, Ample Driveway Parking
Description - Applecroft is a light-filled and spacious south-facing home. The property has been thoughtfully laid-out to maximise the magnificent views over the garden and valley. The reception rooms lead off a central hallway, with the principal rooms rear-facing, to optimise the panorama. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home and well-presented with stylish fitted units, built-in appliances and a breakfast bar. There is ample room for a dining table, positioned in front of double doors, opening to an outside seating area, ideal for alfresco entertaining. A separate dining room with wonderful views over the valley and doors opening to a terrace, provides space for more formal entertaining and would work equally well as a fourth bedroom. A large utility is ideal for hiding laundry away and overflow kitchen storage. A garden room leads off the kitchen, again with double doors opening to the patio and a lovely room to relax with a book. The light-filled sitting room is well-proportioned with views as far-reaching as Rodborough Court. A ground floor double bedroom with built-in storage, and family bathroom, completes the ground floor.
Two further double bedrooms are located on the first floor, both with spacious en-suite bathrooms and the principal bedroom with walk-in dressing room. The rooms are well-laid out to provide ample discreet storage and lovely countryside views.
The garden is predominantly laid to gently sloping lawn, with several seating areas from which to enjoy the view. A shed provides storage and there is also a fully-insulated double garage/workshop and ample driveway parking.
Directions - Leave our Painswick office on the A46 in the direction of Stroud and after circa 2 miles, take a sharp right hand turn back on yourself, onto the A4173, in the direction of Gloucester. Take the first right t hand turn after circa 50 yards (signposted to the Church and village hall) and Applecroft is the first house, immediately on your right.
Location - One of the key attributes of Applecroft, is its location. Nestled in an elevated hillside location in the historic village of Pitchcombe, the home benefits from sensational views. Located alongside the village hall and church, the property offers country living at its finest.
A quintessential Cotswold village, Pitchcombe has remained largely unaltered over the years, with a wealth of historic homes and a tremendous sense of community spirit, with regular local events, including a popular annual village fete. The Edgemoor Inn in the neighbouring village of Edge, is within easy walking distance and Painswick is within a five minute drive or a pleasant walk along a network of pretty footpaths. With several thriving cafes, a boutique hotel and village shop, Painswick is a great weekend walking destination for a coffee and catch up with friends. Painswick Beacon hosts a popular golf course and the Rococo Gardens are well worth a visit. Stroud is less than ten minutes drive away and is well-known across the Cotswolds as an artistic hub with a unique bohemian vibe and was voted the 'best place to live' by the Sunday Times. Stroud has several leading supermarkets, including Waitrose, as well as sporting facilities, independent retailers and an award winning Saturday Farmers Market. Cheltenham is within a 20 minute drive and offers excellent shopping, restaurants and theatre, as well as numerous music and arts festivals and racing at its the renowned National Hunt racecourse.
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 along the A46 to most of the local schools in both the private and state sector. There is also a popular village primary school in nearby Painswick.
Well placed for ease access to main roads and transport links, Applecroft 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.

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.
