4 bed cottage for sale

Friday Street, Painswick, Stroud GL6

As the name suggests, Barbers was formerly the local hairdresser and barbers shop but has been used as residential accommodation now for many years. Offering generous and versatile accommodation over three floors, the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation.

The ground floor is comprised of an entrance hall with steps down to a vaulted stone cellar and up to a reception room, dining room and kitchen. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and WC with stairs from here leading to a spacious and private roof terrace whilst two further bedrooms are situated on the second floor.

Situation

Painswick, the “Queen of the Cotswolds”, is a thriving community nestling in a delightful Cotswolds setting. Largely constructed from locally quarried stone, the town has many beautiful buildings dating back as far as the 14th Century. Painswick Churchyard is famous for its impressive array of table tombs and its 99 yew trees about which folklore holds that if a 100th should grow the devil will pull it out. There are several local shops, galleries, tearooms and restaurants in the village along with a pharmacy, doctor and dentist surgeries and two public houses whilst the surrounding towns provide a comprehensive range of social, recreational and retail amenities to suit all tastes and budgets. Recreational opportunities include tennis, rugby, bowls and cricket clubs with many other groups meeting at the Painswick Centre. Nearby Cheltenham plays host to a series of festivals throughout the year embracing topics ranging from racing to literature and music to science.
