Owners comments:
Purchased by the owners grandmother in the 1920's. Four generations of this family have lived and loved the everchanging panoramic views. Over the years we have had many glorious memories from birthday parties, to making costumes for the village Wap Fair, walks to school and running through the bluebell woods. It is time for a next family to make new memories.

Randwick, now a traditional Cotswold village from once several small hamlets and shelters beneath the western crest of a Cotswold Escarpment NW of Stroud. The village is a pleasing jumble of cottages, many traditional stone, (called laggers by the locals) remnants of its Weaving past. These line a maze of winding lanes adjoining parishes of Stonehouse and Standish.

Walks to the top of the ridge are rewarded with panoramic views of nearby Randwick Woods adjoining Standish woods with Wales in the distance and The Malverns northward.
Randwick C of E Primary School small and highly regarded for its Christian values and achievements. A village hall, centre for annual Randwick Wap and other social activities.

In the heart of the village The Vine Tree Inn offers a warm welcome and appreciation of village life. On a typical evening you will find the pub with a wide variety of customers from local organisations having a meeting, the pub darts team in mid game to a lone dog walker enjoying a sneaky pint (dog in tow). The restaurant is very well regarded where you can sample the fine foods on offer, all home cooked.

The Wap, locally renowned and highlight of village life, originally dates back to at least middle ages. An old custom abolished in 1892 and reintroduced 1972 incorporating early Pagan elements and takes place each May.
