This 3-bedroom Cotswold stone cottage is nestled in a picturesque setting, offering striking views over the surrounding countryside. While already exuding charm, the property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and potential expansion. Previous planning permission to extend the home has lapsed, allowing a new owner to explore fresh ideas to tailor the space to their needs (subject to obtaining necessary consents).
The interior currently features a quaint sitting room and dining area, both showcasing traditional stone fireplaces that add warmth and character. The kitchen is equipped with painted shaker units and includes a stable door that opens directly to the garden. Accessed from the outside, a utility room with a toilet provides additional functional space. On the upper level, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer captivating views along with a family bathroom.
In addition to the main house, the property boasts a versatile timber annexe located at the top of the garden. This space includes a spacious living room, shower room, and bedroom that opens onto a raised deck—a perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining. Below the main residence, you’ll find an appealing garden room or "party" barn featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, limestone flooring, and bi-folding doors leading out to an inviting terrace. This area also includes a kitchenette for food preparation and gatherings.
Surrounding the cottage are lush gardens adorned with mature trees and well-maintained shrub borders, creating serene outdoor spaces for enjoyment. There is gated off-road parking available at the front for multiple vehicles.
Situated in Pitchcombe—a small hamlet on the Cotswold escarpment—this property benefits from its proximity to both Painswick (approximately 1 mile away) and Stroud (2 miles away). The local community features essential amenities including a church and village hall. Painswick offers various shops, galleries, tearooms, and restaurants while Stroud presents an even wider selection of retail options. Families will appreciate access to local schools—both primary and secondary—as well as recreational facilities such as tennis clubs, cricket pitches, rugby fields, and bowls clubs within Painswick.
With its combination of natural beauty, community spirit, and notable investment potential through renovation opportunities, this cottage stands out as an attractive prospect in this desirable Cotswold location.
