Description
Old Weavers is a superbly proportioned, handsome country home, beautifully laid out to offer practical living spaces, whilst still retaining exceptional period charm. A pretty Regency porch with tent roof, sets the tone for the remainder of the house; this is a home steeped in historic interest with charm and period features around every turn, including mullion Gothic glazed windows, stunning aged beams, character boarded floors and magnificent fireplaces. Opening to an open-plan reception and dining hall, this fabulous double reception room offers ample space for a dining table, together with a cosy area in front of a huge fireplace with wood burning stove inset, ideal for after-dinner relaxing. An impressive drawing room leads off the reception hall, offering a further entertaining space, with pretty views to the front garden from its three large windows and a further feature fireplace. A home office and spacious laundry room are also located at this level. Steps from the reception hall lead to the rear wing of the house, where a snug, scullery, boot room and the kitchen are located. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home. An Aga provides a warming focal point and a centre island provides a useful preparation space. There is room for a good sized table, ideal for informal suppers with family and friends. Doors lead from the kitchen to a rear patio, giving easy access for alfresco entertaining.
The principal bedrooms are accessed via the main staircase leading off the snug, opening to a large landing with three front facing bedrooms plus a further bedroom located in the rear wing. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite plus a walk-in dressing room and the bedroom in the rear wing has a feature sun room, overlooking the topiary garden to the side of the property. A family bathroom completes the first floor. Two further bedrooms plus a bathroom, together with a sensational games room with stunning aged beams, are located on the second floor. All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide both comfort and ample storage space. The front facing bedrooms have wonderful views across the valley.
The garden envelopes the property with a magnificent red brick wall framing the rear boundary. Totalling circa 0.8 acres, the garden comprises mature fruit trees, including quince, fig and green gage, together with a formal topiary garden with a central pond, to the side of the house. Mature beech hedging divides the main garden from a pretty orchard, together with access to the parking area and large store/shed. There is ample parking for several cars to the front and sides of the property.
Location
Pitchcombe is a quintessential Cotswold village, largely unaltered over the years. Sheltered in the lee of a ring of wooded hills, the village contains an exceptional number of fine old properties built in the vernacular Cotswold style and echoing the fine architecture associated with nearby Painswick. The property offers English country living at its finest, surrounded by glorious Cotswold countryside, rolling hills, handsome period homes and pretty historic English churches.
Pitchcombe has a welcoming community and hosts numerous local events, including an annual fete. The Edgemoor Inn in the neighbouring village of Edge, is within easy walking distance. Nearby Painswick is within a five minute drive or on foot across a network of footpaths. With several thriving cafes, a boutique hotel and village shop, Painswick is a great weekend walking destination for a coffee and catch up with friends. Painswick Beacon also hosts a popular golf course and the Rococo Gardens are well worth a visit. Stroud is less than ten minutes drive away and is well-known across the Cotswolds as an artistic hub with a unique bohemian vibe and was voted the 'best place to live' by the Sunday Times. Stroud has several leading supermarkets, including Waitrose, as well as sporting facilities, independent retailers and an award winning Saturday Farmers Market. Cheltenham is also within a 20 minute drive and offers excellent shopping, restaurants and theatre, as well as numerous music and arts festivals and racing at its the renowned National Hunt racecourse.
One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector with sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham and a broad choice of schools in the private sector. Cheltenham has several popular private schools including Cheltenham Ladies and Cheltenham College and there there is also Wycliffe in Stonehouse and Beaudesert Park in nearby Minchinhampton. School buses run along the A46 to most of the local schools in both the private and state sector. There is also a popular village primary school in nearby Painswick.
Well placed for commuting, Old Weavers is circa 90 minutes to London by train from nearby Stroud mainline station and approximately 20 minutes drive to Cheltenham and Gloucester. The M5 motorway is also within easy reach, for commuting to Bristol and the Midlands.
