3 bed detached house for sale

Bowbridge Lane, Prestbury, Cheltenham GL52

An individually designed detached house extending to approaching 2,300 sq ft, built approximately 35 years ago and subsequently extended to provide substantial additional living space. The property backs directly onto fields, enjoying glorious countryside views towards the surrounding hills, whilst being just a short stroll from the racecourse walks and Prestbury village centre

Built in 1991 by a local builder in a striking Alpine-inspired style, with a dramatic deep-apex roofline and distinctive a-frame design, creating a unique and architecturally appealing home. A significant extension and remodelling was completed around 18 years ago, increasing the living space and creating a lovely conservatory overlooking the garden and adjoining countryside. A complementary porch leads into a lobby with doors to the garage and cloakroom, before opening into an impressive reception hall with galleried landing. The hall provides access to the fourth bedroom/home office and main living areas. A central living room features a lovely fireplace, with glazed doors to the sitting/dining room, which is open plan to the well-equipped kitchen. Further glazed pivot doors lead into the large conservatory, providing an ideal additional dining or social space and allowing the whole area to be opened up for entertaining. The flexible layout is well suited to a variety of ages and lifestyles. Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a walk-through wardrobe area and large ensuite featuring a basin, bath, separate shower and WC. A further guest ensuite shower room and family bathroom complete the accommodation. Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and pv solar panels, offering potential for improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs.

A Cotswold-style wall with electric gates, which require recommissioning, provides access to a large block-paved driveway offering plenty of parking, with mature shrubs and planting, side access to the rear and an integral garage extending to over 24’ in length with a remote-controlled door. The rear garden is level, with lawn and patio areas and enjoys a sublime outlook backing directly onto open fields, with Cleeve Hill forming an impressive backdrop. The unspoilt countryside views create a wonderfully tranquil setting and an enviable rural lifestyle, whilst remaining within easy reach of Prestbury village, the racecourse walks and town centre approximately 2 miles.

Set back in a gently elevated plot in a very desirable village lane, enjoying outstanding views to the rear.
