Set on the lower slopes of Battledown, Glenlovat is a spacious five-bedroom detached home arranged over multiple floors. The house offers about 2,350 sq ft of flexible living space, three bathrooms, a 20' double garage and driveway parking. A mature, south-westerly facing half-acre garden with a long sweeping lawn and established trees provides privacy and excellent outdoor space for family life.
The interior layout is practical and family-friendly with three versatile reception rooms, a home office, pantry and utility room. A large dual-aspect double reception room with a partially glazed vaulted ceiling opens to a raised sun terrace, creating a bright social hub for everyday living and entertaining. The property has been extended twice (1989 and 2008) and is presented in generally good condition, but would benefit from creative updating to reflect current tastes and standards.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is freehold, connected to mains services, has double glazing, an EPC rating of C and a cavity wall construction assumed to lack insulation. Council Tax is Band G (quite expensive) and the Battledown estate charge for 2025 is to be confirmed. Buyers should note the property needs renovation and potential thermal improvements, which is an opportunity to add value and modernise heating and insulation.
This home suits growing families who prioritise space, schools and outdoor living, or downsizers wanting single-home convenience near Cheltenham town centre. Its size, plot and location on a quiet, tree-lined road on a prestigious estate make it rare in the local market—ideal for purchasers who want a substantial garden and scope to personalise a classic 1930s detached residence.
