Prestbury, Cheltenham, GL52

A substantial period semi-detached family house in an enchanting location in the heart of Prestbury, encompassed by delightful gardens of approximately ¼ acre approached via a long private drive

Cleeve Corner is believed to date from around 1800 with a subsequent Victorian extension and a more recent addition when the property was extensively renovated around 33 years ago. Brick built with a part Cotswold tile and part slate roof relieved by sympathetically styled double glazed windows, whilst featuring exposed internal stonework including an impressive inglenook fireplace and a majestic large chimney stack on the rear roof elevation. Situated in a conservation area, the location is sublime and whilst Cleeve Corner is not listed, it is recorded as being of special local interest. A long private drive off the High Street leads to a garage and vehicular parking, whilst the main front pedestrian access to the cottage is off The Bank. A central front door leads into a lobby and hall with stairs to upper levels and doors to the main receptions. A dual aspect sitting room features a wood burner and a large bay with an inset door opening to the garden. The dining room reveals a magnificent inglenook fireplace and the kitchen/breakfast room expands across the rear of the property with French doors connecting to the rear garden. A characterful country style kitchen with a two oven gas Aga, original bread oven (now a cupboard) and double sink with mixer tap. A cloakroom and utility room complete this floor. The lower ground floor provides a square office or games room with natural lighting at the front. The first floor provides three double bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower cubicle and family bathroom and the second floor offers a fourth double bedroom, airing cupboard and useful storage space.

Outside
A substantial stone wall encloses the frontage with a bespoke pedestrian gate and low maintenance paved area. Access at the side leads round to a substantial garden extending to the south and west of the property. The gardens are a stunning feature, beautifully established with mature trees and shrubs, expansive lawns, a vegetable garden with five raised beds and a patio area with an adjoining part covered porch. A long private drive off the High Street leads to a detached garage and parking for several cars. The gardens enjoy tremendous privacy whilst offering glorious views at the front of the majestic Cleeve Hill.
