Vendors' thoughts: "Copper Beeches has been a wonderful family home for us with a real feeling of space and calm. We have enjoyed many family get togethers with plenty of space for all of us and fun BBQs in the garden. The views across the valley are very special and it's been lovely being able to walk out and enjoy gorgeous country walks. Painswick has always been so welcoming with everything we've needed on the doorstep. We will cherish our memories of our time at Copper Beeches."
