High-end kitchen appliances, underfloor heating to the ground floor, solar panels and two EV chargers underline running-cost and lifestyle benefits.
Externally the property sits on a very large plot with landscaped terraces, resin driveway and a four-bay garage with electric doors, roller shutters and secure storage. Security systems are comprehensive (CCTV, alarm, electric gate and video entry) and the location combines Battledown’s leafy character with easy access to Cheltenham town centre and excellent local schools.
Buyers should note a few practical points. Council tax is very expensive. The data set lists a construction period of 1950–1966 despite the property being presented as a new build/newly renovated; all building-control certificates and warranties are provided with the sale, and purchasers should review these documents. The property uses secondary glazing and cavity walls are recorded as built without insulation (assumed), so further insulation upgrades could be considered to maximise thermal performance.
Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a generous, contemporary family home in a prestigious, very affluent neighbourhood close to excellent independent and state schools, green spaces and strong transport links. The specification reduces short-term renovation needs, but some energy-efficiency improvements may be an opportunity for longer-term savings.
