Further Information

DESCRIPTION
A modern home occupying an idyllic setting on the private Cockbury Court estate, a select development of just eleven houses with open countryside and Cleeve Hill as the backdrop. The house has been the subject of continual improvements and enhancements over the last few years resulting in contemporary accommodation arranged to maximise the space and take advantage of its setting. Natural light is a feature throughout the house.
The principal reception space is partially open plan which lends itself well to functional family life and sociable entertaining space with a spacious sitting room to the front opening to a wonderful garden room, connecting the entire rear of the house to the outside sun terrace via three sets of doors and floor to ceiling glazed windows allowing light to flood through. The kitchen, whilst separate, accesses the reception rooms. Modern in style, it is well appointed with a range of eye and base level neutral units and integrated appliances. A cloakroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

The arrangement of the first floor has allowed for a study area between two large bedrooms and a shower room. The master bedroom has a dual aspect view to the front and rear, whilst bedroom two has a dressing area and enjoys a vista over the gardens to the front.

In all, a lovely property with a contemporary feel throughout occupying a tranquil setting with direct access to countryside yet a short drive to both Cheltenham and Winchcombe.

OUTSIDE
Hidden from the roadside and approached via a long winding drive, the setting is extremely private and special. The drive leads directly to the privately owned parking area of house 1 with an attractive and enclosed front garden comprising AstroTurf and gravel behind a pedestrian gate to the front. The rear garden has been designed to be a low maintenance paved terrace with AstroTurf to the bank. Steps lead up to a further raised garden area with apple, plum and cherry trees making a perfect seating area to enjoy exceptional views over the hills. Within the grounds is a studio log cabin which provides an ideal space for use as a guest bedroom, gym, or home office away from the main house.

Of worthy note, the current owners have sought planning permission to extend the property to the side to provide a carport with en-suite bedroom over. This could provide an ideal opportunity to further enhance the accommodation on offer, should a prospective new owner wish.

SITUATION
Set at the brow of Cleeve Hill before the valley drops into Winchcombe, Cockbury Court enjoys some of the very best panoramic views to the front from the garden and to the rear, over the common of Cleeve Hill. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, well known for its beautiful walking and riding countryside, Cleeve Hill has become an extremely sought after place to live over recent years. It is recognised for being the highest point of the Cotswold hill range and, for the beautiful high calibre homes that line each side of the hill in addition to the popular golf club. Within a short drive is the vibrant town of Winchcombe which offers excellent day to day shopping, a butcher, dentist, doctors and a lively café and restaurant culture. In addition, Winchcombe is home to an excellent secondary and primary school, with the neighbouring villages of Woodmancote and Bishops Cleeve also offering well reputed schools. Cheltenham is the main shopping centre and lies just six miles away. As well as superb educational and leisure facilities, the town is well known for the many literary and music festivals that it holds as well as the cricket and National Hunt festivals. There is easy access to the M5 and the M4 via the A417/419, with a train service to London Paddington from Cheltenham Spa station.
