Charming two-bedroom listed cottage in central Painswick with valley views.
Grade II Listed Cotswold stone cottage with strong historic character
A well-presented Grade II Listed Cotswold stone cottage in the heart of Painswick, offering period character and far-reaching valley views. The house is arranged over three floors with exposed beams, a cast-iron fireplace, fitted kitchen and a vaulted stone cellar — ideal as a comfortable bolt-hole or a village home for downsizers.
The property has two bedrooms, including a spacious second-floor room with superb views, and a small enclosed courtyard garden with an adjacent stone-built storage shed. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the home's stone construction and historic status mean improvements will need careful planning and listed-building consent.
Strengths include an enviable central village location, abundant character features and a secure, low-crime setting in an affluent Cotswolds community. Practical points to note: the Grade II listing restricts alterations, solid stone walls are assumed to lack insulation and the very small plot offers limited outdoor space and no obvious parking.
This cottage suits someone seeking a charming, low-maintenance village base or a specialist buy-to-let in a desirable location, provided they accept the constraints and potential costs of owning a listed period property.
