Set in the centre of Painswick, this Cotswold house combines a main home with an interlinked cottage, giving groups space to spread out while staying connected. Cafés, pubs and walking routes are all within a few minutes on foot, making it easy to dip in and out of village life. Inside, exposed stone and wooden beams set the tone, with generous spaces for gathering — from the sitting room with its piano and library to a dining room that doubles as a games space. There’s plenty to keep people occupied, with board games, a PlayStation and space to settle in. Bedrooms are spread across different floors and staircases, offering a bit more privacy, though it may not suit everyone.
