Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll be hard pressed to find somewhere more idyllic than Painswick. Known as the ‘Queen of the Cotswolds’, the chocolate-box town amid endless walking country. In its heart is one of England’s oldest bowling greens and the famous church of St. Mary, which sits nestled among ninety-nine topiary yew trees – a three-minute walk from which will take you to your quiet mews home. Inside, you’ll find a contemporary and cosy living space where putting your feet up is a must. Nab the comfiest spot on the Chesterfield sofa or curl up on the armchair as the kettle boils away in the kitchenette. After a cup of tea and a quick test of the dreamy beds, put together a dinner of locally-sourced produce picked up at the Farmer’s Market in nearby Stroud – it’s a ten-minute car ride away. Or if you’d prefer to leave it to the professionals, the Falcon Inn is less than 500 feet from your doorstep.
