Large driveway with double garage and workshop; ample parking
Period features: oak panelling, parquet floors, bay windows, conservatory

Set well back in The Highlands, this substantial 5-bedroom detached house offers classic Cotswold character, generous reception space and elevated valley views. The main wing provides formal and informal living areas — sitting room with conservatory, separate study and a kitchen/breakfast room — while a linked wing is already arranged as a near self-contained annexe, offering multi‑generational use or rental potential.
Externally the mature, landscaped gardens and terraces provide private outdoor rooms framed by dry-stone walls, specimen trees and wooded backdrop. A wide driveway leads to a double garage and workshop with plentiful parking for family and visitors. The plot and setting deliver a secluded, countryside feel yet remain within easy reach of Painswick and local schools.
The house dates from the 1930s–40s and retains period features such as oak panelling, parquet flooring and bay windows, but it requires modernisation throughout. Practical issues to note: the property needs renovation, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, double glazing pre-dates 2002, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators.
For families seeking a large, characterful home with scope to remodel and add contemporary finishes, this plot and layout present strong potential. The existing annexe configuration and generous footprint allow flexible plans — from reconfiguration to create more open-plan living to upgrading services and insulation to improve comfort and efficiency.
