Stroud Road, Painswick, Stroud, GL6

Built in 1922, externally, this Cotswold stone house reflects many of the features typical of the vernacular architecture with coursed limestone facades, stone mullions and carved label courses whilst internally the bright and spacious rooms offer versatile modern family living with bespoke joinery and contemporary fittings.

At the heart of the living accommodation is a spacious kitchen with bespoke Stroud Furniture Makers units topped by granite surfaces, an quartz-topped island with breakfast counter, a four-oven AGA and ample room for sitting and dining areas. The 26' drawing room has windows to front and rear with a carved stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and range of built-in wardrobes with a guest bedroom also offering en suite facilities.

A second staircase gives scope for part of the house to be used as a self-contained annexe for guests or dependent relatives.
