Set behind a private gated approach in the highly sought-after Dowdeswell area, The Lodge marries 1834 Grade II-listed character with a bold contemporary extension. The house sits on c.0.8 acres of landscaped gardens with its own wooded area, generous parking, garage and useful outbuildings — ideal for family life and flexible home working.
The standout principal suite occupies the modern stone-and-glass addition, with floor-to-ceiling glazing to two aspects and panoramic garden and woodland views. Inside, the layout emphasises light and flow: open-plan living, a striking modern kitchen, a cosy sitting room and versatile spaces across two storeys, all within a substantial 2,031 sq ft footprint.
Practical strengths include private, peaceful hamlet setting with excellent mobile and fast broadband, air-source heating with underfloor distribution, and no local flood risk. Nearby schools range from a highly regarded state primary to top independent schools, while Cheltenham and transport links are a short drive away.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing brings planning constraints and will complicate alterations, repairs and some modern installations. The property occupies an isolated setting with limited local amenities, and council tax sits above average. Buyers should factor in listed-property maintenance and consent requirements when budgeting.
