Location

Restcroft Farm is situated in the popular residential area of Little Shurdington, approx. 4 miles from the Regency town of Cheltenham. And in close proximity to the new Leckhampton High School and immediate countryside.

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

Dating from the early 1920s, Restcroft occupies a generous and wonderfully private plot in the heart of Little Shurdington. The property enjoys a peaceful setting and offers well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by an attractive rear garden and ample private parking.

Access via a long drive, framed by wooden gates, leads to the house. Inside, a welcoming reception hall with an entrance lobby and cloakroom provides access to the main living spaces. The generous 23ft sitting room is a charming, light-filled space with a lovely wood burner, that opens into a spacious conservatory, perfectly positioned to take in views of the garden.
The impressive open-plan kitchen and family area features bi-fold doors that extend the space out to the terrace, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. A dual-aspect dining room completes the ground floor, benefiting from excellent natural light.

On the first floor, there are four well-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes a modern ensuite and enjoys a lovely outlook over the gardens. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and an additional separate shower room. A large garden store with access from both the front and rear offers excellent potential for conversion into further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The gardens are a particular highlight, beautifully stocked, mainly laid to lawn, and bordered by mature trees and hedging that provide exceptional privacy. A generous patio area sits directly off the house, creating a perfect spot for outdoor dining. To the front, the property benefits from extensive parking, a sizeable driveway, and an additional area of level lawn leading up to the entrance, enhancing the sense of space and seclusion.
