" Welcome to Orchard Cottage, a super four bedroom detached family home, that was originally constructed in the mid 1700`s yet in the early 1990`s undertook an extensive renovation where by 75% of the existing property was rebuilt. Today the home blends modern with period charm and enjoys a wealth of internal space which is matched externally as the home sits within a plot of circa one acre.

Surrounded by open countryside, the property further enjoys formal gardens, a series of connected outbuildings and an equestrian element comprising of five stables, tack room and a pony paddock and it is because of the above, that viewing is highly recommended to understand all that is on offer.

Located in the heart of the village, the property is betwixt of Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, with both being only a short drive away. The Medieval town of Tewkesbury offers a wide variety of shops, bars, restaurants, and caf?`s, alongside the Roses Theatre whilst the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham enjoys the Promenade, Montpellier, Cheltenham Racecourse as well as the Town Hall and a variety of festivals that take place throughout the calendar year.

Returning to the property, the home sits along a quiet country lane, situated next to open countryside where upon horses or sheep can generally be found grazing. The home has two entrance points, one for the equestrianworkshop area and a second gateway to the main home.

Inside, there is a wonderful feeling of space and light coming into the building. To the left of the entrance hall is the home office which enjoys plenty of natural light from the double aspect windows.

On the ground floor are three reception rooms, two of which are located in the oldest part of the home, which dates back to the mid 1700`s and it is here that this period is fully evident, from the inglenook fireplace which houses the log burning stove, to the wonderfully exposed beams to the ceiling which continue through into the snug. Both the living room and snug have tiled floors, with the snug also benefiting from double aspect windows and a smaller log burning stove inset to the chimney breast.

The third reception room, classified as a second sitting room, in contrast is much more modern and enjoys a flagstone floor and bi folding doors to the head of the room which lead out onto a decked terraced, located to the rear of the building. Again from here, one can sit and enjoy the views that this home affords.

Completing the ground floor is the farmhouse kitchenbreakfast room. Complete with wood fronted doors, granite worksurfaces, a traditional AGA which sits alongside a companion gas stove and a stone tiled floor. Views are a plenty from either of the two windows or from the full length glazed door.

Upstairs there are four good sized bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom. The master bedroom is a wonderful size and enjoys a separate dressing room and three-piece, en suite shower room.

Bedrooms two and three are both double rooms, both of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, whilst bedroom two also offers an en suite shower room. Bedroom four is slightly smaller than the other rooms but does take a double bed and also enjoys fitted storage.

Externally the main home enjoys plenty of driveway parking, lawned gardens to the front and a low maintenance garden to the rear.

Turning our attention to the other elements that this property enjoys, the workshop area is a super space. Benefiting from light and power, there are three sizeable areas where once can either work or store items comfortably. The larger element of the workshops features a floor to ceiling roller door and would comfortably house a 7.5 tonne horse lorry if required. Furthermore, there is an additional room which the current owner uses for horse storage plus a wash area (water connected to the building) and a WC.

Planning permission has been obtained to demolish the existing structure and re-erect a new building on the footprint and plans and drawings are available upon request.

The equestrian element of this home is equally as impressive as all the other components that make up this property. In total there are five stables, all of a similar size and a tack room. The stables are separated into two blocks forming one pair and the other being a three with the tack room. In front of the larger block of stables is a hardstanding turn out area which at its widest point is 5m. Double gates from this area leads out to the pony paddock which is circa 0.5 acre and this is enclosed by post and rail fencing.

Agents note ? Our client does rent a two acre strip of land directly behind the stable block for additional grazing which is owned by the neighbouring farmer. We understand that the farmer may continue this agreement to the new owners and additional land may be available but by no means guaranteed.
