Cheltenham Road, Painswick, Stroud

Grey Gables offers a handsome and beautifully proportioned family home in a prime edge of village location, ideally configured to create a self-contained annexe along with grounds extending to just under an acre.

Description - Grey Gables offers a beautifully proportioned family home with carefully thought-out living spaces and an abundance of natural light. Located at the end of a sweeping drive, the property is impressive and welcoming in equal measure.

The house opens to a spacious reception hall with wide oak board parquet flooring and handsome oak staircase, creating an immediate sense of warmth and space.

The L shaped kitchen is clearly the heart of the home. Fitted units provide ample discreet storage and a charming bay window seat provides a seating area for relaxed dining. A large centre island offers additional space for food preparation and cooking.

The sitting room runs the depth of the house with the sympathetic more recent addition of an orangery to the rear. A tremendous space for entertaining, this beautifully proportioned room works equally well for everyday living. A central fireplace creates a warming focal point to the room and doors open to a sheltered decking area, ideal for alfresco hosting in the warmer months.

The dining room is ideal for more formal entertaining, again with doors opening to the rear decking area, perfect for pre-dinner drinks. Both the dining and sitting room have pretty views overlooking the rear garden.

A separate wing of the house contains a useful cloakroom, laundry room, good-sized home office and an en-suite bedroom; this wing of the house is ideally suited for conversion to a self-contained annexe.

A feature split staircase leads to the first floor with the principal en-suite bedroom off one side of the staircase and three further bedrooms off the other side, one with en-suite plus a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from lovely views, the 3 front-facing rooms overlooking the valley and the rear facing bedroom with pretty views over the garden.

Garden And Grounds - A sweeping drive leads to the property flanked with gently sloping lawns and mature trees and well-stocked borders.

The majority of the grounds are set to the rear of the property, offering privacy and a wonderful space to both relax and entertain.

A decking area leads directly from the house with steps up to a raised patio with room for garden furniture.

Gently sloping lawns sweep away from the house with a pony paddock and stable at the top of the garden.

The garden and grounds total just under one acre.
