This wonderful property sits behind a gated entrance on a particularly private lane on the Battledown Estate, just 3 miles from Cheltenham in one direction and a short walk of surrounding countryside in the other. The profile of the building is imposing, slightly elevated, it was designed to overlook its own grounds and to take in the views that this area is so well known for. As the former coaching house for the gentry, it is a home of great character with the original part of the house dating back to 1880. Set over two storeys, the internals extend to over 3820 Sq Ft of accommodation which has been the subject of continual improvements and enhancements by the current owners who have injected a contemporary approach to the space, volume, and natural light of the house.
The clever layout has been designed with family life, entertaining and quiet retreat in mind, with a contrast of formal and informal areas. In recent years the owners have created a self-contained annex, a studio, and orangery to increase the square footage and flexibility of the accommodation.
The large reception hall is central to the ground floor living space, seamlessly connecting a sitting room, office and dining room which in turn opens to the kitchen.
The kitchen itself is well-appointed with a range of units and integrated appliances, a breakfast island separates this space and two archways open to an orangery. This space has access to outside through two sets of French doors and further double doors lead to a cinema room. There is a large utility room in addition to a shower room on this level.
Independent of the main accommodation is a studio, equipped with a kitchenette and shower room, it has two sets of bi fold doors overlooking the central courtyard and broader garden. This is an ideal space away from the main bedrooms for guests or an Au Pair.
The Annex: A self-contained annex has been created to the side of the property above the cinema and studio. This wonderful space has its own access point and offers two double bedrooms, a kitchen/living room and a bathroom. This would provide ideal guest or ancillary accommodation in addition to a home office.
Outside: The approach is extremely discreet, along an infrequently used lane just off Stanley Road creating very little vehicle or foot traffic. The house offers a wonderful plot, set behind a brick perimeter wall and accessed through gates, flanked with manicured hedging, revealing very little of the house from the front. The driveway sweeps to the front of the house in a courtyard style arrangement offering parking for a number of vehicles. The grounds are set to three sides, the rear of which is elevated to enjoy the outstanding views that Battledown is so well known for.
Situation: Battledown is without doubt one of the most desirable and highly sought after pockets of Cheltenham. A private and gated estate, it was built in circa 1859 for the gentry and as such is an exclusive address characterised by impressive homes set Stanley Road, the middle of the three prestigious roads that form the estate and undeniably the elevation of the plot is what makes it so very special. With idyllic walking and riding countryside set to one side of the estate and Cheltenham's stylish centre to the other, it offers the rare balance of town and country living that has become so highly sought after. The property is within walking distance to Cheltenham's fashionable shops, Michelin starred restaurants, salons and bars. Less than a hundred miles from London, Cheltenham nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley and is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, The Cheltenham Ladies' College, St Edwards and Dean Close.
