This charming self-catering cottage is ideal for four people, but will sleep five quite comfortably, or six at a squeeze. The barn was converted about 12 years ago. We are not sure when it was built, but think it may have been in the 16th or 17th century. It is down a little path off New Street which was so named in the 15th centuary.
The accommodation includes a spacious kitchen / breakfast room, comfortable sitting room with a well, double bedroom, family room with double bed and one or two single beds, bathroom with over bath shower and enclosed garden.
The spacious farmhouse style kitchen-breakfast room is a great place for family and friends to relax around the preparation of dinner, or chill out over a long late breakfast.
There are windows on three sides, including charming stained glass windows to the south west. One end of the room is full height revealing the original exposed roof timbers.
Facilities include a cooker, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
The main area of the room centres on a traditional pine kitchen table (seats six) and is well stocked with cutlery, crockery and utensils.
In addition to the old well, which has been illuminated, the sitting room offers comfortable sofas, TV and DVD player at one end and a small table and chairs at the other. A glazed door opens from the sitting room into the garden.
The bedrooms have been set into the roof of the old barn, with some of the original beams remaining. The spaces are charming, but the headroom is limited. The tall should be prepared to stoop a little!
The smaller bedroom, with its unusual pointed door, contains a double bed. The larger bedroom has a double bed plus a single bed and a good quality single pull out guest bed, if required.
The bathroom has a powerful over-bath shower, washbasin with original brass taps, water closet and an exposed Cotswold stone wall.
The cottage is approached by a gate and pretty entrance path through an arch to its own garden. A small lawn is surrounded by raised flower beds. Stone steps lead up to a raised patio from which you can just about glimpse the spire of the famous Painswick parish church of St.Mary’s. The garden is enclosed by thick Cotswold stone walls. |
