DESCRIPTION The Malthouse is a very handsome Grade II Listed detached period home set amongst beautiful unspoilt Cotswold countryside within the valley between Painswick and Stroud. Formerly a mill dating back to the 17th Century, the property showcases imposing limestone elevations with stone mullion windows and hood moulds beneath a stone slate roof. Internally, the property has been freshly redecorated and is up to a modern standard whilst retaining a wealth of the charm and character including inglenook fireplaces and exposed timber throughout.



Spanning over three floors and extending in all to 2,430 sq.ft., the double fronted accommodation on the ground floor includes two characterful and spacious reception rooms each with a fireplace. The rear kitchen is very-well fitted with a range of units arranged around a large central breakfast bar. There is a large Aga in addition to a separate hob. On the first floor, there is a spacious landing which can serve as a study/playroom as well as two generous double bedrooms and a bathroom complete with shower over bath. On the top floor, there is a further bathroom with shower over bath and two double bedrooms featuring ample built-in storage and excellent views over the surrounds.



Externally, The Malthouse benefits from private parking for several vehicles over a large gravelled driveway. The gardens wrap around the property with the predominant area arranged at the rear and laid mostly to lawn screened by mature hedging and trees. There is a useful timber outbuilding for storage.

SITUATION The Malthouse occupies a wonderful unspoilt rural position between Stroud and Painswick. Situated on the east side of the Valley the property enjoys lovely views across the classic Cotswold countryside. Painswick, known as the Queen of the Cotswolds, is renowned for its fine Parish Church with 99 clipped Yew Trees in the Churchyard.
