Bowbridge Lane, Prestbury, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL52 3BL

An exceptional home located on a spacious, private plot in the heart of Prestbury village, providing ample living space and breathtaking views to the rear.

Substantial family homes rarely come to the market in Prestbury village, and Bowbury House is one of the few properties located right in the heart of this unspoiled setting.

The house is set back from the street, enjoying a wonderfully private position on a large, level plot with superb views to the rear across open land up to Cleeve Hill.

The property has been remodelled and extended, providing beautifully proportioned and well-balanced living and bedroom spaces, creating an open-plan, contemporary feel that is both light and bright.

Entrance is gained through a welcoming hallway that leads to the reception rooms.

The sitting room, featuring a fireplace, is at the front of the house and offers views over the front garden and onto the street.

French doors connect this space to the dining room and snug area, both of which enjoy views and access to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room serves as the heart of the home, designed to promote indoor-outdoor living with large, fully glazed doors opening to the terrace and gardens.

It is well-appointed with a range of modern units and fitted appliances, along with a dining and seating area.

From the kitchen, you can access the study, which also offers a view of the garden, as well as the utility room. A cloakroom and coat cupboard complete the ground-floor accommodation.

The bedroom arrangements are spread over two floors. On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, two of which boast stunning views of the garden, fields, and Cleeve Hill.

The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. A family bath and shower room services the remaining bedrooms on this floor.

On the top floor, there is another double bedroom with outstanding views and an en-suite shower room.

Outside: Bowbury House is beautifully balanced with its surrounding outdoor space, situated comfortably within its 0.25-acre plot.

A driveway offers parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage. The front area features some planting and a lawn, enhanced by mature hedges on both sides to soften the landscape.

The rear garden is a delightful, mature space that the current owners have carefully cultivated for enjoyment throughout the seasons.

It includes a patio area ideal for al fresco dining, as well as a garden shed and a greenhouse.

Situation: Bowbury House is located in Bowbridge Lane, one of the most delightful lanes within the village, and undeniably, one of the best spots off The Burgage.

This is a particularly unspoilt pocket of Prestbury Village, one known for its quaint street scenes many of which enjoy views of open countryside to as far as Cleeve Hill and The Racecourse.

The village itself lies at the foot of the Cotswold Escarpment and close to the Racecourse and as such, has easy access to some of the most beautiful walking countryside.

Despite its semi-rural feel the conveniences are extremely well patronised by the local residents.

There are three popular public houses, village stores, a butcher's, a coffee shop and bakery, all within a short walk of the property in addition to a well reputed local primary school, Prestbury St Mary's.

Whilst this thriving parish offers excellent day to day amenities, Cheltenham is c.2 miles away, and this is one of the reasons that Prestbury has become so popular with families and professionals alike, offering a balance between country and town life, with shopping, exceptional schools.
