Brockhampton, Cheltenham, GL54

This is a superb opportunity to purchase a truly outstanding ground floor apartment with a share of the freehold, set within the renowned 'Brookhampton Park', a stunning Grade II Listed period country estate in the heart of the Cotswolds near Cheltenham, enjoying 7 acres of breath-taking grounds and sculpted gardens with a lake. For those who enjoy their history the estate was initially built around 1640 for Paul Per, the comptroller to King Charles, and was converted into twenty apartments in 1979.

Apartment 7 used to be what was once the original Gentlemen's Club and library. This exceptional ground-floor apartment forms a distinctive part of the building, with no apartments above or adjacent, and retaining an impressive wealth of Victorian character. Beautiful original stained-glass windows and ceiling, a magnificent 15-foot working marble fireplace and timber flooring throughout create a home of considerable charm and elegance, complemented by impressive double-height ceilings that enhance the light and sense of space.

The accommodation begins with a beautifully appointed, newly fitted wooden kitchen and dining room enjoying attractive views towards the clock tower, an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining alike. The generous sitting room is centred around the striking marble fireplace, while the principal large bedroom benefits from built-in storage. A second small double bedroom incorporates a cleverly concealed utility area, and the accommodation is completed by a substantial bathroom fitted with a contemporary five-piece suite and stained glass hall space for a desk/open office.

Unusually for an apartment of this nature, the property does offers excellent storage throughout, in addition to a private storage locker area in the basement, as well as two allocated parking spaces.

Brockhampton is a small Cotswold village surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and yet convenient for a number of centres. The A40, which provides good east/west access to London, Cheltenham, Gloucester and the M5 is less than a couple of miles away, whilst the nearby Fosseway gives excellent north/south access.

Cheltenham has a wide range of educational, shopping and leisure amenities. There are also a number of golf courses locally including Shipton and Cotswold Hills.
