Highcroft: A Unique Home in a Tranquil Setting Near Painswick Beacon
Situated in a quiet, elevated position just north of Painswick, Highcroft is a charming Arts and Crafts-style home that enjoys a stunning woodland backdrop and far-reaching rural views. With Popes Wood to the rear, Painswick Beacon nearby, and footpaths leading directly to Sheepscombe, it offers a rare balance of seclusion, scenery, and accessibility in one of the Cotswolds’ most desirable locations.
Set within generous grounds, the property presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to update, extend, or redevelop. Whether enhancing the existing Arts and Crafts home or replacing it with a bespoke new build home (subject to planning), the setting offers the chance to create a truly individual property in an exceptional countryside location.
The Accommodation
Entered at upper-ground level, the home’s layout takes full advantage of its elevated setting. The kitchen opens into a generous dining area with a bright, open-plan feel that could be further enhanced with modernisation. The main living room overlooks the gardens and woodland beyond, with French doors leading to a timber deck — perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks. A cosy snug/study completes the upper level.
On the lower ground floor are three comfortable double bedrooms, including one with en-suite, a family bathroom, a utility room, and a cellar/store.
Location
Highcroft sits along Cheltenham Road, on the northern edge of Painswick, close to the entrance of Painswick Beacon — a popular local landmark with panoramic views and acres of open common land. The garden backs onto Popes Wood, providing a serene, leafy outlook and direct access to walking trails across the Painswick Valley.
To the east lies Cranham, a quintessential Cotswold village nestled among ancient beech woodland. Renowned for its network of walking and cycling trails, welcoming community, and well-regarded village pub, Cranham adds further lifestyle appeal to this exceptional location.
Just 1.5 miles to the south, the historic village of Painswick is often referred to as the “Queen of the Cotswolds.” It features winding lanes, traditional stone buildings, the famous 99 yew trees of St Mary’s Church, and a thriving community. The village offers a selection of pubs, independent cafés, a village shop, and a doctor’s surgery.
