Summary - MEAD COTTAGE SCHOOL LANE SOUTHAM CHELTENHAM GL52 3NR
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Spacious three-bedroom cottage with private garden near Prestbury and excellent schools..
Detached 1930s–40s period cottage with character features
Mead Cottage is an individual detached period cottage set in a sought-after location near Prestbury and open countryside. The house offers a generous open-plan living/dining room with a feature fireplace and double doors to a private, landscaped garden — a strong draw for families who value indoor-outdoor living. The property includes a kitchen/breakfast room, ground-floor cloakroom, three bedrooms, a small home office/nursery and a single family bathroom.
Practical benefits include a driveway and attached single garage, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), fast broadband and no flood risk. The plot is described as decent in size and benefits from good privacy to the rear. Local amenities, excellent independent schools and Prestbury’s pubs, walks and racecourse are all close by, making the location especially attractive to families and commuters.
There are also clear improvement opportunities. The house dates from the 1930s–1940s and external walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, while the glazing age is unknown. The flat-roofed extension and some internal areas would benefit from modernisation to improve energy efficiency and layout; the current EPC is D (50) with a stated potential to reach B (83). Council Tax is in Band E, above average, which is a recurring ownership cost to note.
Overall, this cottage suits buyers seeking character, space and a private garden in a very affluent area, and who are happy to invest in energy and cosmetic upgrades to increase comfort and long-term value.
