Set on an elevated 0.85 acre plot with sweeping views over the Painswick valley, this five-bedroom detached farmhouse offers bright, flexible family accommodation and substantial scope for improvement. The house combines two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility, integral workshop/garage and a detached double garage — ideal for family storage and hobbies.
The accommodation, arranged over two floors, is naturally light with patio doors to a terrace and picture windows capturing the rural outlook. Two first-floor bedrooms enjoy particularly fine valley views. The large gardens slope gently with mature shrubs and productive fruit trees, and the paved terrace is a natural spot for evening sun and entertaining.
Practical positives include mains drainage, double glazing installed since 2002 and an air-source heat pump with radiator heating. The property has been in the same ownership for many years and now requires updating and renovation to realise its full potential — cosmetic and likely system upgrades will be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow which may affect home working until improved.
This house will suit a family or buyer seeking a project in a quiet Cotswold hamlet, with easy access to local primary schools, village amenities and the wider facilities of Painswick and Stroud. Note that council tax is described as quite expensive; buyers should budget for renovation costs and some modernisation works.
