5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Home Farm is a beautiful Grade II listed attached village home which is found in superb decorative order amongst lovely gardens and grounds located in the peaceful heart of Woodmancote, close to local facilities.

With accommodation arranged over three floors, the house offers extensive yet versatile living space which includes five bedrooms on the upper two floors, served by three first and second floor bath/shower rooms, supplemented by a ground floor shower room. Worthy or particular note is the flexibility on the second floor which has previously been used as a self contained unit with a bedroom, living/study area and shower room.

On the ground floor there are four reception rooms with a kitchen, utility room, entrance hall and shower room towards one end of the house. The attractive kitchen comprises a range of cupboard and drawer units, painted in an attractive duck egg blue, with a clay tiled floor and fitted electric Aga cooker.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the garden room with a fitted woodburner, triple sliding doors and three windows out on to the porcelain tiled patio, while to the other end of the kitchen is the dining room. This is a stunning room, with a wealth of exposed timbers, flagstone floors, stairs rising to the first floor, medieval door to the garden with an adjacent stone mullion window, and a feature exposed lath and plaster wall.

Beyond are the sitting room and the study, both with wonderful inglenook fireplaces with ornate surrounds and fitted logburners, which in the sitting room is a Jetmaster. The sitting room enjoys a garden door to the front, and the study includes an ornate wooden screen wall.

Outside are wonderful gardens and grounds to both sides of the house, laid mostly to lawn, interspersed with mature plant and shrub borders. Immediately to the rear of the house is a wide paved patio accessed from either the garden room or the dining room, beyond which is the summer house with power. Through an arch at the back of the garden there is a designated work area which includes a greehouse, shed and raised vegetable beds. A driveway at the front of the house provides access to parking for multiple vehicles as well as a large garage/workshop on which there was previously planning consent passed for an ancillary annexe with garage and carport. One of the garage doors is electric. The driveway also provides access to the neighbouring cottage by way of a right of way.

Situation: Home Farm is found in the heart of the village of Woodmancote on Stockwell Lane, in the Woodmancote conservation area, tucked off the main village road and so enjoying a peaceful setting yet excellent access to facilities including day to day shopping and schooling at Bishops Cleeve, the Apple Tree public house, the A435 and the B4632, both heading south to Cheltenham.

Cheltenham stands renowned as one of England's most intact Regency towns and, historically, the original and most distinguished spa. Nestled less than a hundred miles from London, it gracefully rests between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley. The town boasts several prestigious schools, including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close, and Pates Grammar, the latter recently topping the national GCSE schools league table.

Having earned its status as a highly coveted residential destination, with a Telegraph accolade as the number 1 place in the United Kingdom to raise a family in 2015, Cheltenham is celebrated for its opulent residences gracing formal avenues and exquisite garden squares.

For those with a penchant for the finer things, the town offers Michelin-starred restaurants, numerous bars, chic boutiques, and abundant salons. Art and history enthusiasts find solace in The Wilson, Cheltenham's recently refurbished museum and art gallery. The town's cultural vibrancy is further enhanced by two concert halls and three theatres. Festivals abound, including The Wychwood Festival, literary, science, food and drink festivals, and the revered jazz festival, drawing renowned performers like Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum, and Jools Holland over the years.

The pinnacle of the year for many is the annual racing festival culminating in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, a prestigious event on the national hunt calendar. The allure of this spectacle perennially captivates the public, making Cheltenham a regular draw for visitors year after year.
