Discover the famed Cotswolds from this Grade II listed building in the heart of the beloved village of Painswick, occupying the principal corner of the town. Lovingly restored, it's retained charming features and gained a few more modern ones. Though the house is beautiful, it can't quite compete with the surroundings, not when you consider it's right in an Area of Outstanding Beauty. Take a day trip to villages a stone's throw away and see the landmarks more locally, starting with the St. Mary's churchyard right across the road. At home, kids will love the swimming pool whilst parents take advantage of the seating for drinks.
