Norton Cottage offers a stunning family home set in an idyllic location with far-reaching views, magnificent walled English Country Garden and a wealth of period charm
Description - Norton Cottage offers an exceptional family home filled with bright and spacious rooms and enveloped by a classic walled English country garden.
A charming period door opens to a handsome hallway with boarded floorboards for ease of living.
The 31ft kitchen with its historic elm floor is clearly the heart of the home. The space works equally well for hosting as for informal family suppers, with room for a large dining table. Fitted wooden units provide ample discreet storage and an Aga, believed to be one of the first Agas ever made, creates a warming focal point. Breakfast bar seating is ideal for relaxed dining or a morning coffee.
A large walk-in pantry provides useful additional storage.
Two inter-connecting reception rooms, both with original fireplaces, offer superb spaces for entertaining and also for relaxed everyday living. A bay window in the drawing room neatly frames the pretty view over the garden.
Steps lead up from the drawing room to a spacious yoga studio which would work equally well as a home office.
A cloakroom, and utility/boot room, complete the ground floor.
Six bedrooms are located across the upper two floors, three with en-suite bathrooms, along with a first floor cloakroom and a second floor family bathroom.
The principal suite has a large en-suite bathroom and a superb, spacious dressing room with plentiful built-in storage.
All of the bedrooms benefit from pretty views over the garden and valley.
Garden & Outbuildings - Norton Cottage benefits from an exceptional English country garden reputedly designed by British horticulturist, Gertrude Jekyll.
With a south/south-easterly aspect, the garden has a choice of seating areas for relaxation and enjoying the wonderful views.
A mellow redbrick wall with espalier fruit trees creates a charming boundary and well-stocked borders provide sensational year-round displays.
Level lawns run along the front of the house with a gently sloping lawn to the side of the property. A pond creates a delightful spot for relaxing with a book whilst soaking up the panorama.
There is off-road parking for several cars alongside the lane, along with a garage and potting shed.

About this agent
Painswick, arguably one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, is situated between Cheltenham and Stroud. It contains an exceptional number of fine old buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries with a particularly special Grade 1 listed church as its centrepiece. From the village there are commanding views in every direction across a verdant landscape comprising unspoilt valleys, interspersed by a series of little country lanes. The village, which has good local amenities, is popular with all ages but particularly amongst the retired. Painswick is ideally located for Cheltenham and Gloucester and within two hours of London by road, being very accessible to the A417 which links the M4 (Junction 15 with Junction 11a of the M5 motorway). Cheltenham has a main line station (Birmingham New Street from 45 minutes) and this famous Regency Spa town is also famous for its racing, literature, music and science festivals as well as its excellent schools, shopping, restaurants and theatre. The Painswick Office serves the village and a large area from across to the River Severn, round the southern edge of Gloucester and Cheltenham to the villages to the north of Cirencester. It is consequently responsible for selling properties in some of the most sought after locations in the whole region while working closely with its sister offices at Stroud and at Minchinhampton and The Mayfair Office in central London.
