A substantial detached home on the edge of this sought after village with nearly 6000 sq ft of accommodation, set in just under one acre.
This is a substantial detached home which offers particularly well proportioned, spacious and light accommodation principally laid out over two floors, plus a third/attic floor with two bedroom suites. The property, which is built in Bradstone under a stone tiled roof, is double glazed with all mains services including gas central heating, plus an air source heat pump for the swimming pool. Many of the rooms are double aspect, some with stone mullion windows, which makes the property particularly light with an attractive and private outlook.
The front door opens into a large entrance hall with the principal reception rooms and a guest cloakroom off. A dining room lies to the front with an ornate plasterwork ceiling. The formal reception room to the rear, with a large stone fireplace, a plasterwork ceiling with glazed roof lantern, sliding doors through to the family sitting room and windows over looking the garden.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted with appliances including electric Aga, microwave, oven, wine fridge, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, a central island unit and a range of fitted floor and wall cupboards. Beyond is a breakfast area which opens out to a Family/Sitting Room with two sets of folding doors out to the garden and a glazed ceiling lantern.
To the far end of the property are a study, a ground floor shower room, a utility room and a laundry room with a secondary staircase leading to a first floor living room (or bedroom) with oak flooring, a wood burner and windows front and rear. This end of the property would lend itself particularly well to a separate form of accommodation, ie for a teenager or staff member.
The whole of the ground floor is laid to stone tiles with underfloor heating.
An oak staircase leads to the first floor with four bedrooms. The principal suite with fitted wardrobes and windows side and rear, and a large en suite bathroom with bath, double wash hand basins and separate shower cubicle.

The swimming pool lies next to the garden room, with paved terrace around, and a store housing the filter etc. The swimming pool is heated by an air source heat pump. There is also a wood store and a stone built garden shed. To the front electric gates open to a long gravel drive offering extensive parking. the front gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a small brook running down one side and have a lovely outlook across fields towards Cleeve Hill.

One of my favourite areas, lovely countryside around, great dog walks, and more than one pub within walking distance. This must be one of the closest country houses to Cheltenham town centre.
