Greenhouse Lane, Painswick

An exceptional country house steeped in historic charm with magnificent views across the Painswick Valley, comprising circa 7.4 acres of garden and grounds, extensive outbuildings including stabling, two self-contained flats and a one bed cottage

Old Greenhouse Farm - Old Greenhouse Farm offers a magnificent and beautifully laid out Grade II Listed country estate. Built in 1670, the principal house and its surrounding outbuildings are steeped in historic charm. Built from fine Ashlar stone in the quintessential Cotswold style with Cotswold stone tiled roof, the properties benefit from beautiful stone mullion windows with traditional leaded light glazing, together with exposed beams, original fireplaces and pretty window seats.

A walled and gated driveway lined with Cypress trees, creates an impressive entrance to this fabulous family home which is both welcoming and handsome in equal measure. The property opens to a spacious reception hall with flagstone floor and the main receptions leading off. The reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and provide ample living and entertaining spaces with original features including aged beams and pretty window seats. The drawing room with its wood burner is ideal for cosy winter evenings and double doors opening to the rear garden make for easy hosting in the warmer months. A large inglenook fireplace creates a warming focal point in the dining room and is a wonderful space for hosting dinner parties and large family gatherings.

The kitchen is set to the rear of the property. Teal coloured units provide ample discreet storage and a large walk-in larder provides additional storage. Steps leads down to a breakfast room, the perfect spot for informal family suppers and a snug provides a further useful reception room. A large utility and boot room with WC and shower, completes the ground floor.

Six spacious bedrooms are located across the first and second floors, accessed via two separate staircases. All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide both comfort and plentiful storage and all with sensational views of either the garden and paddocks or across the valley to Painswick. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms and there is also a spacious family bathroom.

Cottage & Rental Units - Attached to the main house, Little Greenhouse offers a compact one bed cottage with a further ground floor room suitable as an occasional second bedroom.
Two further one bed flats are located above the Victorian stable block (Nos 1 & 2 Greenhouse Mews).
All 3 properties are currently rented out. Details of rental income can be made available on request.

Grounds & Outbuildings - The garden and grounds are a key feature of the property with a beautifully landscaped garden to the front and side of the principal house and a separate small rear garden available to the rental units. The garden is well-stocked with a stunning 200 year old mulberry tree, extensive topiary, ornamental pond and summerhouse, together with a choice of seating areas to catch the sun at different times of the day. A lawned paddock adjacent to the house offers the perfect spot for a family party and marquee and also works equally well as an equine schooling arena. A 4 acre paddock is located adjacent to the property and a further 2.5 acre wooded copse is located opposite the main house, ideal as a children's play area or for family picnics.

A magnificent four bay Victorian stable block with beautiful hardwood stable doors offers excellent storage and a neighbouring coach house with full-size inspection pit is ideal for car enthusiasts. There is also a modern stable block with three loose boxes and a tack room.
