THE HOUSE
Arts, Crafts and Open Country.
Set in a peaceful, elevated position just north of Painswick and moments from the scenic walking trails of Painswick Beacon, this Arts and Crafts-style home enjoys a beautiful woodland backdrop and far-reaching rural views. With flexible living space across two floors, the property includes three double bedrooms, a bright kitchen-dining area, generous living room with French doors to a timber deck, a snug/study, two bathrooms, utility room and cellar. Outside, the property sits on an expansive plot bounded by mature trees offering a wonderful sense of privacy and a natural setting perfect for outdoor living and relaxation.
Highcroft is ideal for buyers seeking space, seclusion, and the chance to modernise or redevelop (subject to planning) in a truly special location.
THE SETTING
The Queen of the Cotswolds, at the Gate.
The nearby village of Painswick is often called the "Queen of the Cotswolds," known for its winding lanes, stone cottages, pubs, and friendly local community. Cranham lies just to the east, with a well-regarded pub and access to ancient beech woodlands. With excellent road and rail links and a choice of good schools nearby, this is an exceptional place to call home.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property has excellent access to nearby towns: Stroud is eight miles south with a mainline station serving London Paddington; Cheltenham is nine miles north; and the M5 at junction 11a is within three miles. A choice of highly regarded state and independent schools — including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies' College, and Wycliffe College — lie within easy reach.
