The Park, Painswick

A substantial 5-bed family home enveloped by circa 5.5 acres of paddocks and garden in a magnificent tranquil location with far-reaching views and a wealth of character features

Description - Located in an idyllic rural setting surrounded by rolling hills and magnificent views, Park House is something of a rare find. The accommodation is spread across 3 floors with an extensive lower ground area opening directly to an enclosed courtyard with swimming pool.

The property marries period charm with modern additions. The original part of the house dates back to the c18th with a later c19th extension and the addition of a superb kitchen, entertainment room and bedroom in 2008.

Opening to a large boot room, the property has an immediate sense of space. A superb kitchen/living/dining room offers an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. Stylish contemporary units offer plentiful discreet storage and a large centre island offers useful space for food preparation along with bar-stool seating for informal dining. A large walk-in pantry provides additional storage and a discreet area for food preparation when hosting.There is room for a large dining table along with a living area with sofas and wonderful outlook over the surrounding paddocks. Bifold doors open to a raised decking area overlooking the courtyard and pool, ideal for relaxing with a drink and soaking up the far-reaching views. A home office leads off the living area.

The sitting room is located in the original part of the house. A charming room with aged beams, stone mullion windows, open fireplace and original floorboards, the sitting room works well for more formal hosting but equally well for cosy evenings at home. A former pantry leads off the reception hall and would convert well to a cloakroom.

The principal bedroom with large en-suite shower room is also located on the ground floor. Micro-cement floors and walls add a contemporary vibe, creating clean lines and a sense of calm, blending seamlessly with the period charm of an original fireplace and the modern comfort of underfloor heating. Three further bedrooms and a family bathroom are located on the first floor and a fifth bedroom plus separate shower room are located on the lower ground level.

The lower ground level is split into two separate areas and offers tremendous additional living space. One section comprises a large workshop, spacious laundry room and a secondary fully-fitted kitchen/scullery. A conservatory/garden room opens to the swimming pool and surrounding patio creating an ideal space for summer parties. The second lower level area is accessed via stairs from the kitchen and comprises a bedroom, shower room and spacious entertainment room which would work equally well as a sixth bedroom.

Garden And Grounds - The garden and grounds are a key selling point of the property. A large gently sloping paddock is set to one side of the property with a second smaller paddock located behind the parking area.

The garden sits between the two paddocks and comprises level lawn areas, fruit trees and a decking area for outside relaxation.

A purpose built shepherds hut with mains water supply, kitchenette, shower and WC creates an ideal guest suite or home office.

A heated swimming pool sits in an inner courtyard offering a lovely secluded area for pool parties.

A large gravel parking area provides parking for multiple vehicles, together with an EV charging point.
