For moments when your eye is off the ball, rolling views towards Dixton and Bredon Hills can be enjoyed from the tennis court at Far Stanley Farm, a charming five-bedroom property with paddocks, gardens, a four-box stable yard and triple garage on land extending to 16 acres.
The property is currently on the market via Knight Frank at a guide price of £2.5 million.
Remodelled and extended, this Cotswold-stone farmhouse blends old and new seamlessly, with an Aga and overhead beams rubbing shoulders with three en suites, French doors and plenty of natural light.
Every now and then, the distant chugs and whistles from the heritage steam railway that runs between Cheltenham and Broadway can be heard, as a train crosses into sight at the bottom of the fields.
Far Stanley Farm is currently on the market with Knight Frank at a guide price of £2.5 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
