Description

Highcroft is a spacious family residence spanning over 3,500 sq. ft., nestled within a substantial plot that offers stunning views towards Cheltenham. This property represents an excellent opportunity for modernization or reconfiguration, with planning permission already granted (application number: 24/01020/FUL), making it a prime candidate for transformation into a contemporary home tailored to your specifications. The layout features two levels, beginning with an inviting reception hall that connects to the principal living areas and a convenient cloakroom. To one side, the expansive drawing room flows into a bright conservatory, both of which take full advantage of the picturesque garden views. Central to the home is a cozy family room paired with a well-sized kitchen/breakfast area, which retains charming original elements such as an AGA cooker and Belfast sink. Adjacent finds practical spaces including a utility room and access to an integral garage. On the upper floor, five bedrooms await, including a principal suite with built-in storage and en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms share two additional bathrooms, all benefiting from lovely garden vistas. Outside, the property features an in-and-out driveway providing ample parking space alongside a single garage. Mature landscaping enhances privacy at the front while the generous rear garden offers extensive lawn space bordered by hedging and mature trees. A decked area with accompanying summer house provides an ideal venue for outdoor entertaining. Located in Battledown—the only private estate in Cheltenham—Highcroft enjoys an elevated setting close to local amenities including shops, restaurants, and reputable schools such as Balcarras School. The accessibility to major roads like the A40 adds further appeal for those commuting or exploring beyond Cheltenham's vibrant town life.
