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, passing the Scout Hut on your left, you will find The Old Stores, second house on the left as you begin to climb up the hill (opposite the turning to The Black Horse pub).

Location - As the name suggests, The Old Stores was originally the village store and has been sympathetically converted to a dwelling providing a warm and welcoming family home 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. The property benefits from highest-speed fibre-to-the-premise broadband internet connectivity.

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.
