Painswick, located in Gloucestershire within the Heart of England, offers an enchanting holiday home that accommodates four guests. Nestled near the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this unique property is set against the backdrop of a picturesque trout stream, providing opportunities for fishing right at the doorstep. The cottage, a beautifully converted 17th-century mill, features open stonework walls, elm beams, and delightful furnishings that add to its character and appeal.
The interior of the holiday home boasts a spacious and bright open-plan beamed room that includes a dining area furnished with pine furniture and a dresser. Guests can relax in the comfortable sitting area, which is highlighted by an inglenook fireplace and a cozy wood-burning stove. The U-shaped kitchenette is conveniently designed for ease of use, making meal preparation a breeze. The layout of the cottage is thoughtful, with two solid elm open-tread staircases that lead to different areas of the home, enhancing its charm and functionality.
On the lower level, visitors will find a hall adorned with original Cotswold flagstones, which leads to a bathroom equipped with an over-bath shower and toilet. The double bedroom features a generous 6ft bed that can be converted into twin beds, catering to various guest needs. The second staircase leads to a spacious gallery on the upper floor that includes an extra divan by arrangement, connecting to a second twin bedroom, both of which showcase pitched, beamed ceilings that enhance the cottage's rustic charm.
This delightful property is not only well-equipped with amenities such as full central heating, electricity, bed linen, Wi-Fi, and modern appliances like a washing machine and dishwasher, but it also offers a large exclusive garden with a streamside patio and outdoor furniture. Parking is available, and the area is designated as non-smoking.
