4 bedroom detached house

A beautifully presented substantial detached home of nearly 4000 sq ft set in just under 1 acre high up on Leckhampton Hill.

Description

The Grange is a spacious and detached reconstituted Cotswold stone house which was renovated and refurbished just over 3 years ago, to include new heating, plumbing and wiring, a new kitchen and bathrooms. The house is nicely set back from the road with a tarmac driveway to the front providing parking. The gardens wrap around the house and are mainly laid to sweeping and level areas of lawn with sheltered paved patio areas to the rear, in all just under one acre.

The property has a practical layout with the well fitted kitchen and adjoining breakfast room at the heart of the home, overlooking and with doors out to the gardens. Also off the breakfast room is a sitting room. A formal dining room lies to the front of the house, and the hallway running right through the property leads to the utility room, a boot room with dog bath/shower, a door to the garden and a guest cloakroom. To the rear of the property is a large games room/home cinema. Above this room, and situated slightly separately, is a bedroom and bathroom. The layout means this may be ideal for a teenager/au pair. To the front of the house on the first floor are two en suite bedrooms including the large principal suite of bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. On the second floor lies another bedroom and shower room plus a sitting room/office. Many rooms have a double aspect, giving a very light and open feel to the property, with an attractive outlook over the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond.

Location

Ullenwood is a countryside setting on the top of Leckhampton Hill, just 4 miles south of Cheltenham town centre. On the land beyond The Grange there used to be former hospital buildings used for American serviceman. This area is now being developed into 26 detached and substantial homes, all situated in large plots (site plan available on request) set over 34 acres. The majority of these plots have now been sold with completions from this Summer onwards.

The area is surrounded by lovely countryside and in addition, one of the major attractions is the accessibility to other major centres, as well as road links to the M5, A40/M40 and the A417 and M4. At the foot of the hill lies the very popular residential area of Leckhampton, with excellent access to both the Bath Road and local schooling including Pates Junior. The Regency spa town of Cheltenham offers a wide range of facilities for everyday living with many shops, restaurants and bars as well as a good selection of excellent schools including Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham College (co-ed), St Edward’s and Dean Close. The town is also well known for the many literary and music festivals that it holds as well as the cricket and national hunt festivals, including the Gold Cup meeting in the spring. Cirencester lies about 12 miles to the south, accessed by the A417.

Nearby sporting opportunities include those at Cowley Manor with the Spa, Golf at Cotswold Hills and Crickley Hill Country Park. The Green Dragon public house is 4 miles away at Cockleford and The Air Balloon Inn 1 mile away.
