House For Sale £1,400,000
Elevated above Oakley Road and enjoying panoramic westerly views, Woodlands is a delightful family home which has been improved and extended by the current owners and now offers generously proportioned accommodation which has excellent levels of light, thanks to the large hardwood picture windows which have been installed throughout.
The house is reached via a sweeping block paved drive where there is ample parking, an electric vehicle charging point and access to the double garage..
Once inside the house the generously sized reception hall has wooden floors which flow from here into the adjacent dining room and kitchen, all of which are warmed by underfloor heating. The dining room has double doors from the entrance hall and is open at the opposite end to the sitting room, creating a very open plan feel and fabulous entertaining space as required. A further glazed door from the dining room leads to the kitchen; fitted with a range of quality matching cabinets with integrated appliances with granite worktops. There is a central 'island' in the kitchen which creates a natural divide from the breakfast area which has ample space for a large family table and bi-fold doors opening to the rear terrace.
To the other end of the kitchen there is an internal door to the garage which in turn leads to the utility room / laundry.
The sitting room has an open fire with stone surround as a centre piece and dual aspect to front and rear, French doors again open to the rear terrace and a further door leads to the family room. The family room is a generous size, with sliding doors to the side patio terrace. A further door leads to the study, fitted with an impressive range of bespoke office furniture and enjoying views to the front.
On the first floor there are four very good sized double bedrooms. The master is situated to the front of the house where this extra elevation unveils more of the glorious views, there are built in wardrobes and an ensuite with bath, separate shower and double basin. Across the landing the 2nd bedroom has a set of bi-fold doors with 'Juliet' balcony over looking the pool and garden. Two further bedrooms on this level are served by a family bathroom with separate bath and shower.
On the 2nd floor and accessed off a small landing with clever eaves storage, there is a further guest bedroom with ensuite shower room.
Outside to the rear the house is surrounded by an immaculate stone terrace with steps rising to the lawns and beautiful outdoor pool area. The gardens are well stocked with mature planting and surround a large area of gently sloping lawns. The swimming pool is a particular feature of Woodlands, heated from an independent gas boiler and using an 'intelllipool' system to control water quality remotely . The pool has an integrated, insulated cover which is electrically operated and provides an extra level of safety for young children.
Battledown is one of Cheltenham's most desirable locations and sits on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Battledown Estate is characterised by its green, countryside appearance and part of its appeal lies in its peaceful atmosphere with wooded backdrop yet situated only one and a half miles from Cheltenham town centre and close to major communication links. When the Battledown Estate was established in 1859, it was with the idea of combining the fine views from Battledown Hill with the proximity to Cheltenham to provide quality villa residences for the gentry. Battledown is now recognised by the Cheltenham Borough council as an important landscaped area.
Cheltenham itself is a Regency Spa town renowned for its fine architecture, famous gardens, an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and boutiques and world-renowned schools to include Cheltenham Ladies' College and Dean Close. There are good communication links to major centres via the M5 (Junctions 10 & 11), the A419 to Swindon and the M4 and A40 to London. There are train services to London and other major cities from Cheltenham Spa, Kemble and Swindon.
