Location

Painswick, epitomizes all that is best about the Cotswolds. Classically pretty with a wealth of historic old buildings at its centre, it is set high up in a scenic valley with glorious views. Over the years the village has straggled down to the stream at its foot, where Beehouses is located, in a settled environment of similar properties off a peaceful little lane, with ancient countryside beyond, a network of small fields and thick hedgerows. Painswick has good local amenities including a general store, doctors surgery and challenging 18 hole golf course. It is an active and inclusive community with much going on throughout the year - a highlight being its own Festival in July. For a greater choice of shopping - Cheltenham is only about 20 minutes away while nearby Stroud has 4 major supermarkets of its own, an award winning Farmers Market and mainline station - services to London Paddington scheduled from about 90 minutes. By car, the capital is normally under 2 hours and access to the M5 motorway is good. There are lovely walks in the vicinity, different places to eat out including the village's highly regarded hotel - The Painswick and the rest of the Cotswold is easy to explore from here.

Description

Beehouses is a special home. Detached, it is tucked away on the edge of the village in quiet and peaceful surroundings with the Painswick Stream babbling along at the foot of its garden. While the house itself has much to offer, for the discerning plantsman, it is in another category. A joy to behold, the generous garden has been skillfully landscaped. Different seating areas are flanked by well stocked borders, intertwined with box lined gravel paths, which lead eventually down to the Painswick steam, a very romantic and private setting. Not to be outdone, the interior of Beehouses is also distinctive with an emphasis on the joinery - lovely polished wooden floors. The well proportioned south facing accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, a utility area, cloakroom, master bedroom with bathroom en-suite, three further bedrooms and a shower room. The garage is integral to the house with internal access. Outside, there is an octagonal summer house, 2 greenhouses, a garden shed and a wood store. A terrace flanks the garden with French doors onto it from the sitting room, dining room and the kitchen/breakfast room.
