Description - Hillcrest offers a spacious and light-filled family home in a peaceful, tucked away location in the Cotswold village of Cranham.
Opening to an entrance hallway, with the main receptions leading off, the home has an instantly welcoming vibe. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home and a good-sized room with open-plan breakfast/dining area. Overlooking the garden, the kitchen has a pretty aspect and ample preparation space and discreet storage. A spacious utility leads off the kitchen, ideal for hiding laundry. The utility has access to the driveway and garden, making it an ideal space for muddy boots and country paraphernalia. The sitting room is filled with natural light, with double doors opening to the garden and a lovely space for hosting family and friends. A wood burning stove provides the perfect cosy-up for the colder months. The dining room has a fabulous vaulted ceiling, creating a great sense of space and the perfect room for more formal entertaining. A large window affords plenty of natural light and double doors open to the garden, ideal for alfresco dining. A playroom is a great addition to the ground floor and would work equally well as a 5th bedroom. A family shower room is also located on the ground floor. The main house benefits from four bedrooms, one located on the ground floor, plus three first floor bedrooms, the principal with en-suite shower room.
A side hall provides access to the annexe, which also has its own external access. The annexe comprises a ground floor sitting room with kitchenette and a shower room. A bedroom with walk-in dressing room and further shower room are located on the first floor. The bedroom benefits from a balcony opening to wonderful countryside views. The annexe has its own private courtyard garden and a large storage area on the first floor.
The property is enveloped by its own grounds, with a large garden set to the rear and side of the house. The landscaped garden comprises gently sloping lawns, a feature pond, well-stocked borders, a kitchen garden and mature trees. There is also a patio area with pizza oven and a decking area at the top of the garden, where access can be gained via a garden gate, to the village cricket ground. A gated driveway provides plentiful parking and there is a garage with workshop, plus a timber framed carport and two sheds.
Location - One of the key attributes of Hillcrest is its location. Tucked away at the end of a no-through road, the home offers a rural, tranquil haven, whilst still within easy walking distance of the village and within easy reach of nearby towns. The large garden opens directly onto the village cricket ground, ideal for lazy summer evening's relaxing with a drink and enjoying a spot of cricket and with views as far-reaching as Wales, on a clear day.
Cranham is nestled in a delightful valley between deep woodland and open common land. It has its own church, primary school, village hall with post office and a newly opened community pub. The nearby village of Painswick offers further shopping facilities as well as a health centre, library, restaurants and golf course. The centres of Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bath, Bristol and Swindon are all easily accessible, as are the M4 and M5 motorways.
One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector. Sought after grammar schools are located in Stroud, Gloucester and Chelteneham and there is a good selection of schools in the private sector, with Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies in nearby Cheltenham and Wycliffe College in Stonehouse, near Stroud, plus many more.
London is within 90 minutes from Stroud mainline station. Stroud Railway Station - 8 miles, Gloucester Railway Station -10 miles, Cirencester - 11 miles), Cheltenham - 9 miles, M5 Motorway junction 11a - 3 miles. Distances are approximate.
Directions - The property is located by leaving Painswick in the direction of Cheltenham on the A46, passing the Royal William public house on your left. After a short distance turn right signposted Cranham/Birdlip and turn immediately right again signposted Cranham; continue into the village and up the other side to the top of the hill known as The Knoll. Turn right into a no-through road where the entrance to Hillcrest will be found at the end of the lane on the right hand side.

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.
