A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial village home together with a valuable consented residential development plot, occupying a discreet and highly sought-after position in the heart of Prestbury.

Tucked away along Blacksmiths Lane, a peaceful no-through road serving only a mix of substantial private dwellings and the village allotments, Blenheim Cottage enjoys a wonderfully private setting with attractive views across the allotments to Battledown and the Cotswold escarpment, yet remains within easy reach of Prestbury's renowned amenities, public houses, shops and community facilities.

The original property dates from the 1840s, but was substantially altered and added to in the 1980's. The property now offers approximately 2,720 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors (plus double garage). The house provides a wealth of versatile living space, including four reception rooms and five double bedrooms, creating an ideal environment for growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking space to work from home. Two bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, including the principal bedroom and a ground floor guest suite, offering flexibility rarely found in period homes.

There is a unique first floor conservatory to enjoy the view over the garden. 

Whilst the property would now benefit from a programme of updating, it represents an outstanding opportunity for an incoming purchaser to restore and enhance a handsome residence to their own specification, creating a landmark family home in one of Cheltenham's most desirable village locations.

The grounds are a particular feature, extending to a substantial rear garden (total plot approx 1/3rd of an acre) which already benefits from planning permission for the construction of a detached four-bedroom dwelling with double garage. Designed to enjoy independent access via a private driveway running alongside the existing house, the proposed dwelling presents a remarkable opportunity for self-build purchasers, families seeking a multi-generational living arrangement, developers or investors. Full planning information is available on request. Also available in the local authority planning portal, ref 22/00777/TDC.

The existing property further benefits from its own driveway parking and double garage, ensuring both homes can enjoy independent access and parking arrangements.

Opportunities combining a village home of this scale with a fully consented development opportunity are exceptionally rare. Offered to the market with no onward chain, Blenheim Cottage presents purchasers with the chance to secure not only a substantial residence but also a significant opportunity to unlock future value.
