Beautifully renovated period stone cottage with sash windows
Set in the heart of Painswick, Yew Tree Cottage mixes Cotswold stone character with a recent, tasteful renovation. The cottage is arranged over three floors with a bright contemporary kitchen, lower-ground sitting/dining room and a comfortable double bedroom with a quality shower room. Its location places cafés, pubs and countryside walks on the doorstep — ideal for a weekend retreat or full-time village life.
The renovation has given the interior a modern, low-maintenance finish while retaining period features such as a symmetrical stone façade and sash windows. The living spaces are well-zoned: the kitchen on the ground floor, a long sitting/dining room on the lower-ground level and sleeping accommodation above. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with c.90 years remaining, and the stone walls are original (assumed uninsulated), which may affect running costs and require future insulation works. The compact 506 sq ft footprint and multi-storey layout suit a single occupant, couple, pied-à-terre or holiday let rather than a family needing large rooms. Overall, this is a characterful, move-in-ready cottage in a very affluent, low-crime village setting with good schools and local amenities nearby.
