Gloucester Road, Painswick, Stroud

Set on the edge of highly sought-after Painswick, The Chestnuts is an extended detached family home offering generous, flexible accommodation, thoughtfully arranged for modern family life. Positioned within a small enclave of just four homes, the property enjoys a tucked-away feel while still being well placed for access to the village and surrounding countryside.

The property is offered to the market by motivated sellers who are relocating for work, creating an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking space, practicality and a wonderful village setting.

From the moment you step inside, there is a real sense of light, flow and everyday ease. A useful entrance porch opens into the hallway, where there is understairs storage, a cloakroom and access to the principal ground floor rooms.

To the front of the home, a bright dual-aspect reception room enjoys full-height windows and offers superb flexibility. Currently used as a reading room, this space would work equally well as a snug, playroom, family room or study, depending on individual needs.

A further reception room is currently arranged as a home office, fitted with storage and work surfaces, with a side-facing window and an internal door connecting through to the laundry/boot room. This creates a practical and flexible workspace, ideal for those working from home or needing a quieter room away from the main living areas.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, designed to bring family life together while still offering clearly defined areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining. A striking full-length picture window frames the garden beyond, drawing natural light into the room and creating a lovely connection with the outside space.

A contemporary inset log burner forms an attractive focal point within the living area, while the adjoining snug creates a softer, more informal space for reading, relaxing or everyday family life.

The dining area sits beneath a vaulted ceiling with Velux roof windows, giving the room a wonderful sense of height and light. French doors, with removable shutters, open directly onto the garden and terrace, making this a particularly inviting space for family meals, entertaining and warmer days with the doors open to the garden.

The fitted kitchen is beautifully finished with dark green cabinetry and quartz work surfaces, giving the room a calm, contemporary feel. There is excellent storage and a thoughtful arrangement of integrated appliances, including an induction hob, oven, extractor, fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. The sink is positioned beneath a garden-facing window, further enhancing the connection with the outside.

From the kitchen, the generous laundry/boot room continues the practical feel of the home, with a vaulted ceiling, Velux roof window, further storage, work surfaces, sink and space for laundry appliances. A door opens directly outside, making this an ideal everyday entrance for children, pets, gardening and countryside walks.

The ground floor offers a natural and easy flow, with space for entertaining, relaxing, home working and practical family life. It is a home that feels well suited to modern living, with flexibility to adapt as family needs change.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to all four bedrooms, the family bathroom, a substantial storage cupboard and loft space.

Bedroom one is a spacious front-facing room, fitted with a full wall of wardrobes and offering ample space for a king-size bed and additional furniture. Bedroom two enjoys attractive elevated views across the garden and surrounding greenery, while bedrooms three and four are both comfortable, well-proportioned double rooms.

The bedrooms are served by a spacious four-piece family bathroom, fitted with a freestanding shower cubicle, bath, low flush WC and vanity unit. Whilst perfectly functional, some buyers may choose to modernise this space in time, and there may be potential, subject to any necessary consents, to reconfigure the layout to create an en-suite while still retaining a family bathroom.

Overall, The Chestnuts is a spacious and versatile family home, offering excellent living space, a lovely connection to the garden and a layout that works beautifully for everyday life.

AGENTS NOTE: Solar PV and battery storage have been added since the last EPC was carried out.

Outside, The Chestnuts offers a generous garden setting, with lawned areas wrapping around the rear of the property and creating a lovely sense of space around the home. Currently arranged with ease of maintenance in mind, the garden provides a wonderful blank canvas for buyers to landscape, plant or personalise over time.

French doors from the dining area open directly onto the paved terrace, creating a natural connection between the main living space and the garden. This area works well for outdoor dining, morning coffee or relaxed summer evenings, with the lawn beyond providing an open outlook from the house.

The layout is well suited to everyday family life, with further access from the laundry/boot room, gated access to either side of the property and a rear door from the integral double garage. This is particularly useful for children, pets, gardening and muddy countryside walks.

The main garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a separate area towards the end of the garden where there is a useful shed, ideal for storage, gardening equipment or general outdoor use.

The integral double garage further enhances the practicality of the property, with natural light, rear garden access and an electric roller shutter door. This generous space offers excellent storage and could also suit hobbies, a workshop or home gym area, subject to any necessary consents.

Together with ample driveway parking and an electric vehicle charging point, the outside space is practical, flexible and well suited to modern family life.

The property is positioned on the edge of the highly desirable Cotswold village of Painswick, often referred to as the “Queen of the Cotswolds” and renowned for its characterful architecture, historic churchyard and thriving village community.

Painswick offers an excellent range of day to day amenities including a village shop, pharmacy, cafés, pubs, restaurants, art galleries and a popular golf course, together with the well regarded Painswick Rococo Garden and numerous countryside walks directly accessible from the village itself.

The village also benefits from a primary school together with good access towards a range of sought after grammar and independent schools within nearby Stroud and Gloucester.

For commuters, there is convenient access towards the A46 and M5 motorway network, while mainline railway stations at Stroud and Gloucester provide services towards London, Cheltenham and the wider South West.

The surrounding area is particularly well known for its beautiful rolling countryside, walking routes and traditional Cotswold villages, making the location highly appealing for those seeking a balance between village living and accessibility
