Description
Hillfoot Cottage is a charming nineteenth century, Grade II Listed cottage, nestling in woodland on the outskirts of the picturesque Cotswold village of Painswick, as stone’s throw from the Rococo Gardens. Sympathetically extended in the 1980s and again five years ago, the cottage is crammed full of architectural features that give it an inviting ambience.
The green-fingered will be captivated immediately by the sunlight filtering through mature trees bordering its large private lawn. A quaint network of paths and steps leads you down to a sheltered and sunny patio with planting that creates a delightful abundance of colour in the summer. It’s the ideal spot for some quiet relaxation.
Entering the cottage via the large country kitchen, you’ll be struck by the light that floods in from all sides. Limestone flooring and worktops and a Travertine Belfast sink add elegant flourishes but there’s no shortage of period charm here. An original fireplace was discovered in the kitchen during the recent extension and now houses a wood burner. Under-floor heating throughout the ground floor ensures the cottage remains warm and cosy whatever the season.
There’s a natural flow to this home, with a good sized dining room leading to a living room with large original fireplace, exposed painted beams and double doors out to the patio. An open staircase leads to the first floor where you’ll find some more characterful touches – the master bedroom is home to a classic claw-foot bath!
The main bathroom has a contemporary feel with a large walk-in shower and stone basin. A snug/bedroom, with attractive mullion windows, leads on to a staircase to the second floor, which houses two double bedrooms tucked away in the eaves and with views across the Cotswold countryside to the west. Both bedrooms have large double doors off the staircase that can be opened up to create an open plan attic space, perfect for teenagers or guests, or even as a hideaway.
Hillfoot is a deceptively large cottage but also benefits from an outbuilding, currently used as a garage, that is ripe for renovation and would create a marvellous studio or guest annex (subject to the relevant planning consents).
We’re sure with one peek you’ll be bowled over by this unexpected gem of a property. And as you take a tour you’ll discover very quickly that it exudes exactly the kind of warmth and character that makes a house a home.
