LOCATION
The location of Smalls Mill is one of its key attributes. Nestled along a quiet country lane to the south of Painswick and on the outskirts of Pitchcombe, the property is surrounded by glorious Cotswold countryside; rolling hills, handsome period homes and pretty historic English churches. This is English country living at its finest.
Within easy reach of Pitchcombe and Painswick, both villages have welcoming communities and host numerous local events. Painswick can be accessed via 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, Smalls Mill 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.

DESCRIPTION
Smalls Mill has been lovingly restored and renovated to create a fabulous family home in a magical setting. Beautifully laid out and with an abundance of natural light, the former mill-keeper's house has an instantly welcoming vibe. With the original part of the house dating back to the 1820s, the property is filled with character features and historic charm, alongside a modern-day extension and sympathetic restoration. Opening to a spacious reception hall with built-in storage, this is the perfect space for storing muddy boots and coats after a long walk in the surrounding countryside. The kitchen leads off the reception hall and is a stylish and light-filled room with bespoke units in a calming soft grey hue plus fitted breakfast bar. The ground floor flows beautifully with the dining room open-plan from the kitchen and large glass doors leading to the sitting room. The dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining with ample room for a large table. A pretty window seat provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee whilst soaking up the garden vista. Both reception rooms have fireplaces and oak flooring throughout, adds warmth and continuity. A good sized utility/back kitchen, leads off the dining room, the ideal space for hiding away washing and kitchen overflow storage. A ground floor bedroom with en-suite wet room (underfloor heating in wet room) makes an ideal guest suite or useful home office. Three good sized double bedrooms are located on the first floor, the principal with en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room. There is also a family bathroom located on the first floor.
The garden stretches out to the rear of the house, offering an enclosed magical haven with well-stocked borders and an expanse of level lawn. A large patio stretches the breadth of the house, ideal for alfresco entertaining. A large summerhouse with power supply and Gigaclear wi-fi, overlooks the garden, ideal for relaxing on a summer afternoon and working equally well as a home office. A well-stocked kitchen garden is located to the side of the house, with access to the garage. There is also a shed at the bottom of the garden. Gated parking for several cars is set to the rear of the house alongside the garage, together with further parking for several cars at the front of the house.
