New Street, Painswick, Stroud

A magnificent Grade II Listed family home in the heart of the Cotswold village of Painswick with 5/6 bedrooms, period features and 130ft rear garden.

Description - Dating back to the 18th Century, Madison House offers a handsome period property in the heart of the village. An impressive reception hall sets the tone to this fabulous home which is both welcoming, whilst also well-adapted to contemporary living.

Once a restaurant, the home is steeped in historic interest with numerous period features, including original fireplaces, aged beams, sash and leaded mullion windows. The sitting room leads off the reception hall and the two rooms could easily be combined to create one large drawing room. A feature fireplace with wood burning stove inset, creates a warming focal point to the sitting room and a deep window seat


provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view overlooking the courtyard garden. The kitchen is set to the rear of the house and is a fantastic room, which works equally well for hosting as it does for family suppers. A cream Aga and fitted shaker-style units provide plentiful storage and cooking/preparation spaces. A family room with flagstone floor, provides a second reception space, together with a rear reception hall. Steps lead up from the kitchen to a large utility/boot room, ideal for hiding laundry, muddy boots and country paraphernalia and with room for a second fridge/freezer. A superb full-height cellar serves as a wine-store and cloakroom, with WC. Both the kitchen and rear reception hall


open directly to the courtyard garden, offering a sheltered area with a wonderful Mediterranean vibe and the ideal location for alfresco entertaining.

Three spacious bedrooms are located on the first floor, together with a good-sized family bathroom. Sash windows give access from the front facing bedrooms, to the pretty views along New Street, with its many historic buildings. High ceilings throughout, create a wonderful sense of space. Leaded mullion windows add historic charm to the rear facing rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and an office/bedroom 6, are located on the second floor, together


with a further bathroom. The garden is an absolute hidden gem. A large, sheltered courtyard garden provides the ideal space for entertaining family and friends and topiary adds style and interest. The remainder of the garden comprises sweeping lawns, stretching back circa130ft. Well-stocked borders combine to create an archetypal English country garden. A large shed provides useful storage.
