A lovely Cotswold idyll with 31 acres of land to play with and outstanding views

Manor Farm is a charming home that really makes the most of the surrounding landscape, including a spectacular garden which has been the recipient of years of care and attention.

This Cotswold idyll enjoys glorious views from its position at the top of a no-though lane in the hamlet of Prescott (home to the Prescott Speed Hill Climb), about seven miles from Cheltenham.

Currently on the market via Hayman-Joyce at a guide price of £1.75 million, Manor Farm is partially surrounded by mature trees and fantastic gardens.

A lot of work has gone into landscaping the south-west-facing garden over the years, with a pergola, pond with bridge and colourful trees, shrubs and flowers.

Well-kept Manor Farm has Gothic-arched doorways, a Rayburn and four bedrooms; various outbuildings include an indoor swimming pool and plant room (needs updating), various barns and a stable block with three boxes.

The land extends to 31 acres over fields, woods and pasture that is occasionally steep as it runs up the valley’s edge.
