Set in a Conservation Area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the heart of Painswick stands St Mary's House: a striking period property with a wealth of fine features and plenty of scope to really make this home your own.
A clever combination of Nature, colour and Cotswold stone make the entrance to this Georgian townhouse as inviting as the pretty town of Painswick — famous for its Rococo garden — in which it resides.
St Mary’s House is currently on the market via Murray’s at a guide price of £850,000.
With a master-bedroom suite, three further bedrooms, a ground-floor annexe, west-facing balcony and a lovely courtyard garden, St Mary’s House has been kept in prime shape, its elegant bay windows and other period features contrasting well with 21st-century necessities, such as a Neptune kitchen.
Within walking distance are the village centre, with its shops and boutique hotel The Painswick, plus open countryside, and Stroud is about four miles south.
