2 Bedroom Terraced House

Cambrai is a beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage situated in the popular Cotswold village of Painswick, offering characterful accommodation and a wonderfully individual interior. The generous open-plan sitting/dining room features timber flooring and an inviting open fireplace, complimented by a stylish fitted kitchen overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the light-filled double bedroom enjoys two fitted wardrobes and far-reaching countryside views, while bedroom two is presently arranged as a nursery and dressing room, but could also provide a child’s bedroom, occasional guest room or home office. A family bathroom completes the first floor. Outside, the magical enclosed courtyard garden creates a private and leafy retreat, while the impressive detached studio with roof lights and bi-fold doors offers excellent flexibility for home working, quiet relaxation or occasional bedroom. Cambrai would make a wonderful first home and could equally appeal to those seeking a charming lock-up-and-leave Cotswold base or potential holiday let/Airbnb opportunity, subject to any necessary consents.

Cambrai is an enchanting two-bedroom cottage with a stone effect exterior giving way to a wonderfully individual interior, filled with colour, warmth and natural light. Thoughtfully arranged and beautifully presented, the accommodation has an easy sense of flow, combining period character with stylish finishes and comfortable spaces for everyday living.

A welcoming entrance hall, with an attractive patterned floor, opens into a generous sitting/dining room. To the front, the sitting area has a wonderfully inviting atmosphere, centred around an open fireplace that provides a natural focal point and brings a cosy warmth to the room during the cooler months. A window allows the light to pour in, while timber flooring, warm natural woodwork and carefully chosen finishes add to the character of the space.

The room flows naturally into the dining area, where there is ample room for a table and four chairs. A window looks out across the courtyard garden, bringing in a leafy outlook and allowing the changing seasons to become part of the room. Whether enjoyed over a quiet breakfast, a leisurely evening meal or time spent with family and friends, this is a relaxed and naturally sociable part of the home. The timber flooring continues throughout, drawing the sitting and dining areas together, while an attractive staircase rises to the first floor with a useful storage cupboard tucked beneath.

A door from the dining area leads into the fitted kitchen, where cream wall and base units are complemented by solid oak work surfaces and beautifully patterned tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, single oven, electric hob and extractor, alongside a freestanding fridge/freezer. A Belfast sink sits beneath the window overlooking the courtyard garden, while a door provides direct access outside. Wood-effect flooring completes the room, adding a practical yet warm finish.

On the first floor, bedroom one is a peaceful and light-filled double room with exposed timber floorboards and two fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage. The room feels calm and uncluttered, with plenty of space for freestanding bedroom furniture, while the window captures far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. It is a lovely outlook to wake up to and one that gives the room a wonderful sense of space beyond the cottage itself.

Bedroom two is presently arranged as a nursery and dressing room. Softly carpeted and full of charm, this adaptable room could also make an appealing child’s bedroom, occasional guest room or home office, allowing it to change easily as the needs of its next owner evolve.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the family bathroom, finished in a fresh yet characterful style. A traditional-style bath is fitted with a shower over and glazed screen, accompanied by a WC and wash hand basin set within a useful vanity unit. Crisp white wall tiling keeps the room light and timeless, while the patterned floor introduces a lovely decorative detail and gives the bathroom its own individual personality.

Cambrai is a truly special cottage, offering character, flexibility and a warm sense of home in the popular Cotswold village of Painswick. It would make a wonderful first home, an appealing lock-up-and-leave village retreat or a potential holiday let/Airbnb, subject to any necessary consents. The detached garden studio adds another valuable dimension, providing excellent space for home working, creative pursuits or occasional guest accommodation. With its open fireplace, individual finishes, magical courtyard garden, far-reaching views and unmistakably welcoming atmosphere, Cambrai is a home that feels every bit as lovely as it looks.

The enclosed courtyard garden can be accessed conveniently through a gated side entrance or directly from the fitted kitchen, allowing it to feel naturally connected to the home. A combination of chippings and paved seating areas creates several inviting places to sit, while natural stone walls, mature planting, climbing greenery and established fruit trees bring a wonderful sense of privacy and atmosphere. It is a magical little garden, filled with seasonal colour and quiet corners in which to enjoy a morning coffee or the last of the evening light.

Tucked away at the far end is an impressive detached studio/occasional bedroom. Two roof lights fill the room with natural light, while wide bi-fold doors can be opened to bring the studio and courtyard garden together. Currently arranged as a creative work and music space, it is wonderfully flexible and could be enjoyed as a home office, hobby room, occasional guest space or simply somewhere peaceful to retreat from the main house.

A useful shed, wood and bin store sits beside the property. Altogether, the courtyard garden and beautiful studio create a private and individual outside space that feels like a genuine extension of the home.
