A rarely available and exciting opportunity to acquire a period detached home within circa 20 acres, with stabling and a riding school, ideal for those seeking a project for development.

This property is being offered for sale by informal tender and as such, all offers are to be made in writing before 9am Friday 16th September.

Kimsbury Cottage is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a non-listed period home set in about twenty acres of land, along with stabling and a riding school, requiring restoration.

The vendor has owned Kimsbury Cottage since 1976 and it has been loved as much as a treasured home as an equestrian facility - Kimsbury Cottage is now being sold in its entirety for development.

As it is currently arranged, the property is a four bedroom detached home requiring detailed refurbishment or, subject to planning and building regulations, rebuilding as a state-of-the-art house in keeping with the scale of the grounds. In addition to the house, there are 7 stables, two loose boxes, and a store room.

The entire twenty acres are simply glorious, offering the most wonderful views, and proffer an economy of plot commensurate with a medium sized, self-contained equestrian facility or small-holding.

In all, an incredible and rare opportunity to acquire a house to rebuild or refurbish with beautifully appointed land and outbuildings.  Ideal for those seeking the opportunity for a developmental project.

Outside:
The setting of Kimsbury Cottage is extremely attractive and special, with access via a long driveway that affords a pleasing elevation and aspect to the house, outbuildings and grounds. The plot extends to about twenty acres and is made up of formal gardens, grazing and riding land for horses and animals. The current facility for horses, includes 7 stables, a riding school and the twenty acres opening to an adjoining bridle path, make this idyllic riding countryside. The entire setting is beautifully semi-rural with the most breath-taking views across dramatic landscape and beyond to the Malvern Hills.

Situation:
Much of the charm of Kimsbury Cottage is its wonderful elevated, private setting, positioned near the top of Upton Hill, just north of the Painswick Beacon and only 2.5 miles from Painswick itself.

Painswick is, without doubt, one of The Cotswolds most sought-after villages, a highly coveted address and one that is much loved. Picturesque and quintessential, the village is particularly known for its community feel, village life centres around the Parish church with its famous Yew Trees, a well-stocked shop, Rugby club, coffee shops and The Painswick, a boutique hotel with wonderful dining options. Some of the absolute best walking and riding countryside surrounds the village and on Painswick Beacon itself, which is also home to a golf course.  Painswick is idyllic for those seeking a country and town lifestyle, offering a rare balance of a rural setting yet close to both Stroud and Cheltenham, two cultural centres offering exceptional day to day shopping, leisure, and educational facilities including exceptional Grammar school choices. Cheltenham is extremely accessible, a beautiful town that offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle which is well regarded for its lively restaurant culture and world-renowned schools including The Cheltenham Ladies' College, Cheltenham College and Dean Close.
