Beautifully restored Victorian home on the prestigious Battledown Estate with elegant interiors and generous entertaining space.

Offering over 6,500 sq ft of thoughtfully restored accommodation, this distinguished Victorian residence is set within the private Battledown Estate. Carefully extended and reimagined, the house balances heritage, light and modern family living. Set behind gates with landscaped gardens and a private driveway, it enjoys a prime position between open countryside and Cheltenham’s vibrant centre. The interior unfolds through a series of elegant reception spaces, including a formal sitting room with feature fireplace and a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that connects the original house with its contemporary extension. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, this central space is filled with natural light from large bay windows and bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace. The upper floors provide six well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room and ensuite, alongside further bedrooms with ensuites or access to a family bathroom. The lower ground floor introduces a full leisure level, with a cinema room, games room with fitted bar, gym, sauna and shower room, all benefiting from underfloor heating and direct access to the gardens. Throughout the house, the interiors reflect a thoughtful balance of retained period features and modern finishes, creating a refined yet comfortable living environment. The specification has been carefully considered, incorporating underfloor heating to the lower ground floor, bespoke joinery, high-quality kitchen fittings and integrated design throughout. The gated approach leads to a sweeping driveway with ample parking and access to a double garage, while the landscaped gardens to the rear provide a private and well-maintained outdoor setting.Show more

Gloucestershire

Rolling countryside, Cotswold villages and breathtaking views

Gloucestershire contains some of the most recognisable countryside in England. Stone market towns including Cirencester, Tetbury and Bourton-on-the-Water sit within a landscape of wide valleys, ancient woodland and open farmland that draws buyers looking for something more permanent than a weekend visit. Schools are strong, the food scene is well established, and the county is served by regular trains into London Paddington.
