Further Information

Description
Homeland is a unique house dating from 1906 with a wealth of character and period features. Its design nods to a New England style, with exterior timber cladding and front and rear verandas with decorative period ironwork. The property has a sunny feel and is bathed in daylight provided by a significant number of period and contemporary windows. A much treasured family home, it has been lovingly restored, enhanced and extended over the years to the most impeccable standard and one of inimitable style and quality. The well considered layout is complimented with a well-curated palette of materials and colours, including a beautiful turned mahogany staircase, wooden flooring and period fireplaces.

A wide hallway introduces the living rooms including a study/ playroom with a period tiled fireplace and a spacious drawing room to the front of the house with a large bay window and a period marble fireplace. The informal sitting room sits adjacent, equally inviting with a gas burning stove and a most unusual floor to ceiling sash window, making this a calming space, ideal to take in the views of the garden. The heart of the house is the kitchen area, which has been designed with family and entertaining in mind. The kitchen and dining room are arranged in an open plan style, with modern units, appliances, and a Mercury oven. Beside this is an informal seating area with bi-fold doors which open onto a decked area and the garden. This is a wonderful new architect designed addition focusing on linking the internal entertaining space to the outside space. This innovative extension has allowed for an annex to be adjacent to the main house, offering a kitchen, bedroom, sitting area and shower room.

The house has a spacious utility and boot room with direct access to the rear garden and there is also a cloakroom with good storage off the main hallway.

Three distinctive bedrooms occupy the first floor with a good provision of space and built-in storage. The master bedroom has a New England style covered balcony which overlooks the gardens at the rear. This is a charming room which has its own en suite. The second bedroom, the largest on this floor, has beautiful detailing including an arched window seat overlooking the garden and an area for a sofa under the eaves. The third bedroom has plenty of fitted storage space and a period fireplace. Both of these bedrooms share a modern family bathroom.
In all, one of the most unique and special homes, a property of distinctive quality with wide appeal. Calming and beautiful in style, the finest thought has been given to every detail which is shown through meticulous refurbishments and extensions.

Outside
This cottage orne styled home sits back from the road behind manicured lawns with mature hedging and planting that provide a natural shelter from the road, a wide driveway is set to the side, giving access to the garage and off road parking for several cars. The gardens at Homeland are stunning and provide an excellent extension to the beautiful interiors of the house. Outside has been exquisitely set out with dense borders of perennial grasses and plants which feature throughout the front and rear grounds, providing all year colour and greenery. Pathways and areas to dine are woven through the lawns including a beautiful veranda and an extensive decked area which connects to the kitchen/garden and family room.


Situation
Church Road is a lovely and long road that in parts feels semi-rural, set to the edge of Leckhampton, an area that is without doubt one of the most desirable and highly sought-after pockets of Cheltenham. The appeal of the location is its proximity to the thriving Bath Road, yet the property sits close to the foot of Leckhampton Hill, with access to some of the very best countryside. Within a short drive are Cheltenham’s fashionable shops, Michelin starred restaurants, salons and bars. Less than a hundred miles from London, Cheltenham nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley and is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, The Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Dean close and of worthy note, it sits within a short walk of new, and the highly anticipated, Leckhampton Secondary School. Owing to this and the cultural lifestyle on offer, including playing hosts to several highly acclaimed festivals, it is now regarded as one of the places to live and raise a family. For the commuter, this area is particularly well placed for access to motorways networks, the M5 and M50 and the A417, Cirencester to Swindon.
