DESCRIPTION
Hillcrest offers a wonderful period house which has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners. An extensive restoration project has resulted in a stylish home which pays homage to the rich history within its walls alongside modern updates. The property offers a plethora of period features including impressive high ceilings, exposed stonework and beams and pretty fireplace. On the ground floor this family home has an open-plan sitting/dining/family room with the kitchen to the front benefiting from stunning views through a picture window. Upstairs on the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom and then 2 further double bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor - all with far reaching views across the valley. Outside there is an impressive detached building with permission granted for ancillary use, ideal as extended family/guest accommodation or as a home office or studio. The gardens and seating areas are all arranged to the front of the property to make the most of the lovely views and there is plenty of parking.

LOCATION
Pitchcombe is a charming 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, echoing the fine architecture associated with nearby Painswick. Ideally situated for the major employment hubs in the region: Stroud, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester, Bath and Bristol, as well as the M5 motorway and mainline railway stations for London and Birmingham. The village has a strong sense of community spirit with numerous village events including an annual fete. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools, all within easy reach of Pitchcombe, including Kings School in Gloucester, the Cheltenham Colleges, Wycliffe and Beaudesert Park as well as several sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham. Pitchcombe is surrounded by lovely countryside for walkers and there are challenging 18-hole golf courses in both Painswick and Minchinhampton.
