Description - Perivale is a bright and spacious home in a lovely elevated location within easy walking distance of the centre of Painswick. Significantly updated and improved by the current vendors, the property now offers well thought-out living spaces, ideal for family living. A garden path leads to the main entrance which opens via a pretty stable door, directly into the kitchen. Clearly the heart of the home, the kitchen is fitted with stylish cream colour shaker-style units. A charming fire place with original stone lintel, dated 1914, creates a lovely sense of history and character. A good sized utility with shower and WC is set to the rear of the kitchen, providing an ideal space for washing dogs (and children!) after a walk in the surrounding countryside. A spacious cupboard offers a useful space for muddy boots and country paraphernalia. The main reception rooms overlook the garden and the valley views. The sitting room is a light-filled and spacious room with a wood burning stove providing a lovely focal point and the original sash windows overlooking the garden room. A second reception, currently used as a playroom, would work equally well as a snug or dining room. Steps lead down to a magnificent garden room providing the ideal spot to relax with a book and opening to a fabulous patio. The garden room works equally well as additional dining space.

Three double bedrooms are located on the first floor, two with magnificent views over open countryside, looking toward Frith Wood. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and all of the bedrooms have the original fireplaces in situ, together with ample built-in storage. There is also a good-sized family bathroom at this level.

The garden is set to the rear of the house and offers a private and enclosed haven in which to relax and enjoy the valley views. A raised patio offers the perfect spot for alfresco entertaining and there is a dedicated children's play area at the bottom of the garden, along with a useful shed and a good selection of fruit trees. A workshop is located to the side of the house and there is parking for several cars, together with a covered car port.

Directions - Leave our Painswick office on the A46 in the direction of Stroud, taking the first left hand turn by the car park, into Stamages Lane. Perivale is located circa 500 yards down the lane, on the left hand side, shortly after the stall selling kindling.

Location - Often referred to as the Queen of the Cotswolds, Painswick is a quintessentially charming Cotswold village. Steeped in history, the village offers all that is best about Cotswold living; a thriving and welcoming community with an abundance of local events, two pubs, village shops and several cafes. There is a boutique hotel a short walk from Perivale, offering fine-dining to non-residents and several stylish and independent coffee shops. For sporting enthusiasts, there is a golf course on nearby Painswick Beacon and stunning countryside for riding and cycling.

One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools with sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham and a broad choice of schools in the private sector. School buses run from the centre of the village to most of the local schools and there is also a popular village primary school within walking distance of Perivale.

Stroud is the nearest town with excellent facilities including a Waitrose supermarket plus several other leading supermarkets, a multiplex cinema and award winning Saturday Farmers Market. Nearby Cheltenham offers excellent shopping, dining and theatre and is well-known for its annual jazz and literature festivals, as well as its National Hunt racecourse.

Well placed for commuting, Painswick is circa 90 minutes to London by train from nearby Stroud mainline station and approximately 20 minutes drive to Cheltenham and Gloucester. The M5 motorway is also within easy reach, for commuting to Bristol and the Midlands.
