Description
Homes with such scope rarely come to the market in The Burgage, and Swinfords is one of only a few linked detached properties on Spring Lane that occupy a position right in the heart of this unspoilt setting. The house enjoys a slightly elevated position with a lovely aspect across open land up to Cleeve Hill.
Swinfords is a 1950’s detached home forming part of a delightful semi-rural scene only moments away from everything on offer in Prestbury village. The property has been a much-treasured family home for many years and whilst immaculate, it would now benefit from a series of enhancements as it offers a chance for a redesign and extension of the current accommodation which stands at over 1600 Sq Ft.
The current accommodation is practical and well planned. An entrance porch opens to a reception hall with a spacious sitting/dining room extending to over 26.1 Sq ft enjoying a double aspect views to the front as far as the hills and to the rear, over the garden. From the dining area is an opening into a snug room which has access to, and views over the garden and also an internal into the garage The kitchen also overlooks the lawns at the rear. Off the inner hall is a cloakroom.
On the first floor are three excellent double bedrooms. The master suite is particularly spacious with a range of fitted wardrobes, a seating area leading out to a balcony and an en suite shower room. A family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.
Outside
Swinfords sits comfortably within its plot with parking at the front for two cars leading to the garage. There is a garden area to the front with some mature planting to soften the landscape with a low planted border so that the views over countryside and Cleeve Hill can be enjoyed.
To the rear, the outside space is an area of level lawn with a large patio terrace that is accessed from the principal reception space.
Situation
The Burgage is a particularly unspoilt pocket of Prestbury Village, it is known for its delightful street scenes many of which enjoy views of open countryside to as far as Cleeve Hill. 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 and riding countryside. Despite its semi-rural feel the conveniences are extremely well patronised by the local residents. There are three popular public houses, two village stores, a butchers, 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 a mere three miles away, offering a cultural lifestyles playing host to several festivals, world-renowned schools. Additionally, there are excellent restaurants, shopping and theatres along with a lively restaurant scene.
