5 bedroom detached house

Set at the end of a long driveway, overlooking its plot and enjoying the distant views beyond, The Wynyards is a charming period cottage that has been in the same ownership since 1983.

Set part way up the hill, the property enjoys direct access to footpaths that lead all the way up to Nottingham Hill, Cleeve Hill and the Cotswold Way.

The house and gardens face west so enjoy great natural light, stunning sunsets and views from Cheltenham Racecourse across the Severn Vale to Wales in the distance on a clear day.

Thought to date to around the 1600's, the cottage has seen various extensions, now extending to 2,131 square feet arranged over two floors. The accommodation briefly comprises a conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room, hallway, WC and stores. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms.

Stepping out from the kitchen, the garden terrace includes the swimming pool which is heated (oil fired heating) and is one of the best places on the site to enjoy the spectacular view. A large versatile timber frame outbuilding offers further potential. The rectangular plot extends to 1.4 acres in total most of which flanks the long driveway that runs down to Butts Lane at the bottom.

Services: Oil fired central heating. Private waste. Mains water and electricity are connected.

Whilst the house is not historically listed, it does sit within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is effectively within a Conservation Area. No public rights of way cross the property.

Set on the middle slopes of Cleeve Hill on the edge of
Woodmancote village, The Wynyards is set at the end of a long privately owned driveway accessed via a quiet residential lane at the foot of the hill.

The property benefits from being a walkable distance of good local amenities such as the village hall and playing fields that host the village cricket club, the village store, hairdressers, pub and a local primary school. The adjoining settlement of Bishops Cleeve hosts a comprehensive range of amenities such as super markets and high street stores.

Nestling on the Cotswold escarpment, the property is within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It enjoys views across the Severn Vale to the Malvern Hills as well as benefitting from quick access to Cleeve Common (over 1,000 acres and the highest point in the Cotswolds), the Cotswold Way and several well-known Cotswold towns. Up the hill, amenities include Cleeve Hill Golf Club, The Rising Sun public house and restaurant and at the foot of the hill is Ellenborough Park hotel, restaurant and spa.

A short 3 mile drive to the north, tucked away in the folds of the Cotswold Hills, the thriving Anglo-Saxon market town of Winchcombe is well known for its warm toned Cotswold stone cottages, tea shops, good local amenities and traditional medieval architecture.

To the south, the nearby Regency town of Cheltenham is best known for its quality of lifestyle, schooling, recreational activities and amenities all of this set against the stunning back drop of period architecture and its beautiful scenery being positioned just on the edge of the Cotswold Hills.
