LOCATION
Situated less than 3 miles from Cheltenham centre, Crippetts Farm is a hidden gem nestled at the foot of Shurdinton Hill. In spite of its extreme ease of access into Cheltenham, the property benefits from a fantastically secluded setting. The property is accessed up an adopted road known as Crippetts Lane, which leads to Crippetts Farm and four other properties. The lane also provides access to public footpaths and a bridleway.
The Farmhouse, buildings and paddocks (Lot 1) are set back off Crippetts Lane, with it's own private drive within 22.04 acres encompassed in Lot 1. Lot 2 is then a ring fenced 48.22 acre parcel of pasture land which climbs up towards the top of Shurdington Hill, both lots benefiting from multiple access point up Crippetts Lane.
DESCRIPTION
Crippetts Farmhouse comprises a substantial detached house with cotswold stone elevations and occupying a beautifully secluded position on the outskirts of Cheltenham with a fine backdrop of mature trees and woodland which is adjacent to Shurdington Hill, which commands an exceptional elevated position over Cheltenham. The house is set centrally within extensive partly fenced and hedged gardens and grounds with formal lawns, beds and borders together with less formal orchards, strategically planted arboretum and mature woodland. There is a generous parking area with adjacent garaging, stables and outbuildings including an (indoor swimming pool which has not been used in recent years).
The Farmhouse and buildings are set within a picturesque parcel of 22.04 acres of land which includes 14.82 acres of pastureland. The house is approached along a stunning avenue of Poplar and Lime trees which coupled with a smattering of ancient Oak trees throughout the land adds incredible scenic appeal.
Available as a separate option to the south of the main house and land (included as Lot 1), is a further 48.22 acres of pasture land, this land is named Lot 2 and benefits from a separate access.
THE FARMHOUSE ACCOMMODATION
Arranged over two floors The Farmhouse provides spacious accommodation with two formal reception rooms, taking advantage of the lovely mature setting with dual aspects from both rooms. The impressive sitting room has particularly fine proportions and large windows overlooking the gardens to the side of the house. Despite it's expansive size the living room has a warm feel with a commanding open hearth.
The ground floor accommodation continues with a fitted kitchen / breakfast room, spacious central dining hall, pantry, a cloakroom and two water closets.
The first floor comprises two principal ensuite bedrooms which overlook the gardens and arboretum, together with three further double bedrooms, with a shared bathroom.
In addition the property benefits from an upstairs laundry room situated on the first floor, as well as a sizeable basement below ground level.
OUTBUILDINGS AND STABLES
Crippetts Farm benefits from a series of outbuildings befitting to an early 1900s farmstead, this includes beautiful traditional stone barns directly adjacent to the house, which have been converted into a indoor pool, garaging, a green house, storage and garden workshop rooms.
To the rear of the the traditional buildings is a well laid out set of stables and a Dutch barn which create a lovely yard area with hard standing throughout. The purpose built timber stables are dilapidated due to lack of use and would benefit from improvement. The Dutch barn is in good and sound structural condition adding a fantastic and versatile larger store space, which subject to the necessary consents would be a fantastic conversion for a sizeable home office, ancillary accommodation, annex, or a similar development.
LAND AND GARDENS
The overall plot size for Lot 1 is 22.04 acres, this includes 14.82 acres of pasture which is divided into field parcels either side on the Farmhouse and driveway.
