LOCATION:
Wessex Drive is a cul-de-sac of homes set off of Priors Road just after the turn for Harp Hill. This property is located at the top of the hill and enjoys beautiful views over Cheltenham. The property backs onto Oakley Farm and Battledown and due to being a cul-de-sac is rather unique in its location. The homes were built as leasehold in 1977, believed to be due to GCHQ which at the time was on Oakley, not wanting to have freehold homes so close to their headquarters. The location is around 1.5 miles from the centre of Cheltenham and close to the open countryside accessed from Harp Hill which leads up to Cleeve Hill.
