Compton Abdale, Cheltenham, GL54

King's Orchard forms part of the magnificent former Grade II Listed, Old Puesdown Inn, a landmark Cotswold coaching inn steeped in history and thoughtfully reimagined as a collection of distinctive homes. Occupying the end-of-terrace position, the property enjoys a particularly generous plot, with wraparound gardens, a detached studio and a paddock extending to almost an acre, all set against a backdrop of glorious rolling countryside.

Behind its handsome Cotswold stone façade, the house has been carefully renovated to combine period charm with the comforts of modern living. Character features including exposed beams and traditional proportions sit comfortably alongside practical family accommodation extending to almost 2,000 sq ft. The result is a home that feels both welcoming and timeless, equally suited to everyday family life as it is to weekend entertaining.

The accommodation flows beautifully from room to room. A generous sitting room provides a relaxed and comfortable setting in which to unwind, while the adjoining dining room offers a more formal space for hosting friends and family. At the heart of the house lies the kitchen/breakfast room, designed to be both practical and sociable, creating a natural gathering place throughout the day. Beyond, an inner hall provides an excellent study area for those working from home, whilst a utility room and ground-floor shower room add further convenience. A versatile ground-floor bedroom offers flexibility as guest accommodation, additional reception space or a snug, depending on individual requirements.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys the benefit of an en suite shower room, whilst three further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family shower room. The layout is both balanced and adaptable, comfortably accommodating families, visiting guests or those seeking dedicated work-from-home space.

Outside is where King's Orchard truly distinguishes itself. The gardens wrap around the property and provide numerous places to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A detached studio offers exceptional versatility as a home office, gym, artist's workshop or hobby room, separated from the main house to provide privacy and focus. Beyond the gardens lies a paddock of approximately 0.8 acres, a rare and valuable asset that creates a wonderful sense of space and opens up a wealth of possibilities for family recreation, gardening or simply enjoying the freedom of country living.

Perhaps most impressive of all are the views. Looking out across unspoilt Cotswold countryside, King's Orchard enjoys a setting that feels wonderfully rural without sacrificing convenience. From the doorstep, footpaths and bridleways lead directly into the surrounding landscape, whilst the thriving centres of Northleach, Cirencester, Burford and Cheltenham are all within easy reach.

Rarely does a property combine such an interesting history with such practical modern accommodation, generous outside space and almost an acre of land. King's Orchard offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the quintessential Cotswold lifestyle in a home of genuine character and distinction.
