Summary - SHOESTRING COTTAGE, TIBBIWELL LANE GL6 6XX
Grade II listed 17th-century cottage with strong period character
Shoestring Cottage is a large, characterful 17th‑century home in central Painswick, arranged over lower ground, ground, first and second floors. Period features — exposed beams, inglenook and stone fireplaces, hardwood floors and a cottage-style AGA — give the house authentic village charm while three reception rooms and a garden room provide flexible family living space. The enclosed, landscaped garden and raised archway deliver far-reaching valley views toward Frith Wood.
Practical features include a useful cellar, generous internal floor area across c.2,212 sq ft, built-in bedroom storage and a conservatory that opens onto the garden. There is scope to add value by developing the top floor subject to planning permission (STPP), though any changes will be influenced by the property's Grade II listing.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate planning and refurbishment. Accommodation is arranged over three storeys with some low ceilings and tighter room proportions typical of period cottages. There is a single family bathroom for four bedrooms, and council tax is noted as expensive. Buyers should budget for sympathetic maintenance and listed‑building consent when planning works.
Well suited to buyers seeking a substantial period family home in a desirable Cotswold village, Shoestring Cottage rewards those who value historic character, generous reception space and a private garden with long views, while accepting the constraints and costs of listed‑building ownership.
