DIRECTIONS
From our Painswick office, follow the A46 for approximately 2 miles towards Cheltenham. Circa 400 yards after the Royal William pub, turn right, signposted Cranham/Birdlip. Turn immediately right again towards Cranham Village and continue for approximately one mile. As you enter the village and drop down the hill, the entrance to The Old Post Office can be found on the right hand side opposite the turning into the Scout Hut.
DESCRIPTION
The Old Post Office is a charming semi detached Cotswold cottage set right in the middle of the sought after village of Cranham. It is believed to have been a post office right back in the 1800's and was then extended and the post office was moved into the extension. Full of charm and character the property with a dining/entrance with inglenook fireplace, good sized kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room with doors to rear garden and a utility/cloakroom all on the ground floor. Upstairs there is a large landing/snug/home office, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear of the property there is lawned garden and patio area and to the front is off road parking. The parking is not currently in the deeds for the property and is shared with the neighbour next door.
LOCATION
As the name suggests, The Old Post Office was originally the village post office and has been sympathetically converted to a cottage with many of the village facilities nearby. Cranham has an active village community with community owned pub, cricket club, tennis club and village hall and school with extensive walks on the doorstep.
Cranham is an archetypal Cotswold village set in a spectacular wooded valley. The village is surrounded by stunning countryside with numerous public footpaths and bridleways to explore. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the private and state sector. Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham all have sought after grammar schools and Cranham has a popular primary school. Nearby Painswick, often referred to as the 'queen of the Cotswolds' has excellent amenities with a stylish boutique hotel, several pubs and independent restaurant. There is also a popular 18 hole golf course on the Painswick Beacon. There are three major supermarkets in Stroud including Waitrose and superb shopping in Cheltenham. The location offers the best of both worlds; a rural haven, yet still within easy reach of local business and shopping centres, including Cheltenham, Stroud and Gloucester. London is circa 90 minutes from nearby Stroud Station. Junction 12a of the M5 motorway is approximately 10 minutes drive away.
