Location

Kings Mill Lane is one of Painswick's best kept secrets. Tucked away on the edge of the village, this tranquil location provides the best of all worlds, offering a magical rural haven with deer frequently seen grazing the verges and pheasants strutting in the garden, whilst remaining within easy walking distance of the centre of the village. Often referred to as the Queen of the Cotswolds, Painswick has a tremendous sense of community spirit and a good supply of local amenities including a popular primary school, two pubs, a bijou hotel just a short walk from Meadow Bank and a small local restaurant and several independent coffee shops. There is also a well stocked village shop, chemist and even a highly acclaimed fabric shop. One of the many attractions to the area is the excellent schools, with grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham, as well as numerous schools in the private sector. The village is popular with tourists and is well known for the beautiful Rococco Gardens and also its Beacon, a huge expanse of common land offering a wonderful source of walks and far reaching views to the Malvern Hills and also host to a golf course.

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, Painswick 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.
