House For Sale £1,350,000
A large and beautifully situated detached house located on the sought after Battledown Estate
Location
Highcroft is located on Oakley Road situated on the sought after Battledown Estate, a gated and private enclave originally created in the mid 1800's. It now comprises an exclusive selection of individual houses, mostly with excellent views and with unusually large plots, though still providing excellent access to the town centre.
Cheltenham is famed as one of the most complete Regency towns in England and historically the original and most fashionable spa.
Less than a hundred miles from London it nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley, and is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close and Pates Grammar.
Now a highly sought after place to live the town is well known for its grand houses set amongst formal avenues and beautiful garden squares.
For those with a taste for the finer things in life, there are Michelin starred restaurants, numerous bars, stylish shops and salons aplenty. For art and history lovers there is The Wilson, Cheltenham's newly refurbished museum and art gallery, whilst Cheltenham also has a thriving cultural scene that includes two concert halls and three theatres. There are the numerous festivals such as The Wychwood Festival, the festivals of literature, science, food and drink and, perhaps the pinnacle for some, the jazz festival, which has historically attracted such known performers as Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum and Jools Holland.
Undoubtedly for many more, the highlight of the year is the annual racing festival culminating with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the blue riband event of the national hunt calendar, and an attraction that draws the public to the town year after year.
Description
Highcroft is a substantial detached house with generous and flexible living accommodation arranged over two floors and extending to 3514 square feet.
On the first floor are five double bedrooms, each with views from the rear of the house across the garden, including a main bedroom with an en suite bathroom. There is a family bathroom and a shower room serving the four remaining bedrooms and all but bedroom 5 benefit from built in wardrobes.
The well laid out ground floor provides an excellent flow, with a wide entrance hall and the stairs directly ahead. To the left is the sitting room with an open fireplace and a dining area at the far end, with sliding doors in to the conservatory, itself enjoying magnificent views across the garden. A glazed link connects the conservatory to the kitchen/breakfast room which also enjoys views across the garden. The kitchen is very well fitted with a range of hand built oak cupboard and drawer units and features an integrated gas Aga, breakfast area at the front and walk in larder. There is a returning door from the kitchen to the hall, as well as a door in to a side passage, with further access to the garden, as well as in to the utility room and the integrated garage, beyond which is the boiler room.
Also accessed from the hall is the family room and the cloakroom.
Externally the grounds extend to about 0.61 acres and the rear garden is laid mostly to lawn at the end of which is a fenced off area. At the front is a tarmac driveway providing parking, with plant and shrub borders.
