The pretty village of Painswick has long been one of the more desirable villages in the Cotswolds. Behind the thick stone walls of Tibbiwell Lane lies Lantern Cottage, a semi-detached cottage bursting with period features that have been ‘brought to life’ by colour and contemporary lighting. The cottage is listed with Murrays for £530,000.
The property offers three bedrooms, as well as a dining hall, sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room within its Cotswold-stone walls and, outside, a small lawned garden offers plenty of space to sit and enjoy the views over the rolling hills of the Area of Natural Beauty.
The cottage is beautifully presented with tasteful decorations, and ready for the new owners to enjoy immediately.
Its cosy sitting room benefits from a wood-burning stove surrounded by a traditional stone fireplace, and leads to a fully-fitted kitchen with large oven, perfect for those with a passion for cooking.
Outside, the small but perfectly formed garden is the ideal spot to sit back, relax and enjoy alfresco dining or drinks with friends.
