Directions - From our Painswick office, take the A46 in the direction of Cheltenham. After circa 0.5 miles, take the right hand turning to Paradise (after the two turnings to Sheepscombe). Follow the lane down the hill and up the other side and Wellgrove is the last house on the right hand side towards the top of the hill.

Description - Wellgrove offers a superb family home in a prime rural location. Renovated by the current owner, the home has huge potential to modernise further and ample room to extend (subject to planning). Accessed via a light-filled reception hall, a spacious home office with a rich coloured mahogany parquet floor, provides an ideal working environment. Currently utilised as a cinema room, this space would work equally well as a fourth bedroom. A useful cloakroom plus shower, is also accessed at this level. Steps lead down to the main living space with an open-plan sitting/dining room, opening to a conservatory overlooking the garden. Ideal for summer entertaining, there is also an open-fire, providing the perfect 'cosy-up' for the colder months and ample room for a good sized table in the dining room. The kitchen is set to the rear of the property, with original 1960s cream Aga and a magical outlook over rolling fields and pretty woodland. In need of modernisation, the kitchen with open-plan breakfast room has obvious potential to combine and extend to the rear (STPP). Similarly, this space would work equally well with a simple update and has the advantage of a walk-in pantry and boiler room. Access to the garden and an idyllic private patio area, leads directly off the kitchen. Upstairs comprises 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom, all of the bedrooms with lovely views across the valley. The principal suite is dual aspect, allowing for an abundance of natural light, together with ample built-in storage space.

The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with several seating areas providing 'rooms' within the garden. This is a garden designed with quality of life in mind. An outside covered cinema room, hot tub and gym, make this a home that works equally well for entertaining, home fitness or a movie night with friends and family. A large tandem garage with superb workshop provides a great space for projects and DIY. There is ample room to park several cars plus and a spacious driveway with two entrances.

Location - The hamlet of Paradise sits within the parish of Painswick and as its name suggests, offers a little slice of rural paradise. An ideal lifestyle location, Wellgrove is surrounded by glorious open countryside, yet only a few minutes drive from the historic village of Painswick and 15 minutes drive from Cheltenham. The idyllic rural location of this home and its proximity to nearby amenities, offers the best of both worlds.

Often referred to as the Queen of the Cotswolds, Painswick is a quintessentially charming Cotswold village. Steeped in history, the village offers all that is best about Cotswold living; a thriving and welcoming community with an abundance of local events, two pubs, village shops and several cafes. There is a boutique hotel offering fine-dining to non-residents and several stylish and independent coffee shops. For sporting enthusiasts, there is a golf course on Painswick Beacon, walking distance from Wellgrove and stunning countryside for riding and cycling, right on the doorstep, including a network of footpaths along the Wysis Way, running directly past Wellgrove. 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 and there is also Wycliffe in Stonehouse and Beaudesert Park in nearby Minchinhampton. School buses run to most of the local schools in both the private and state sector. There are popular village schools in both Painswick and Sheepscombe, both within a short drive of Wellgrove. Stroud is the nearest town with excellent facilities including a Waitrose supermarket plus several other leading supermarkets, a multiplex cinema and award winning Saturday Farmers Market. Nearby Cheltenham offers excellent shopping, dining and theatre and is well-known for its annual jazz and literature festivals, as well as its National Hunt racecourse. Well placed for commuting, Paradise is circa 90 minutes to London by train from nearby Stroud mainline station and approximately 15 minutes drive to Cheltenham and Gloucester. The M5 motorway is also within easy reach, for commuting to Bristol and the Midlands.
