An outstanding newly completed five bedroom detached zero carbon home offering approximately 2,902 sq. ft. of beautifully appointed accommodation, exceptional family living space, a private garden, garage and parking in sought after Leckhampton
The Elm is an outstanding newly completed detached house forming part of The Cherringtons, an exclusive collection of architect designed zero carbon homes by Newland Homes. Extending to approximately 2,902 sq. ft., the property has been designed with an emphasis on light, space and modern family life, combining an imaginative layout with an excellent specification.
The house is approached across a generous driveway, which provides private parking and access to the double garage. The front door opens into an impressive reception hall, immediately establishing the scale and character of the house. A central staircase rises to a galleried first floor landing, while a cloakroom and practical boot room area are positioned nearby.
The main sitting room is a particularly generous space with excellent natural light and ample room for both formal entertaining and everyday relaxation. There is also a separate cinema room and a dedicated study, providing useful flexibility for home working, family life and entertaining.
The kitchen/ dining/ family room is the focal point of the ground floor. Extending across the rear of the house, it provides a substantial open plan setting for cooking, dining and informal seating, with direct access to the garden. A separate utility room keeps the practical elements of family life away from the main living space.
The kitchen has been finished to a high standard, with soft close cabinetry by Bespoke Kitchens by Peter Clinch and porcelain worktops. Integrated appliances include Neff ovens, an induction hob with integrated ventilation, a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and wine cooler, together with a boiling, filtered and chilled water tap and integrated recycling bins.
The first floor is arranged around the spacious galleried landing. The principal bedroom is an impressive suite with a large walk in wardrobe and a five piece en suite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three also benefit from en suite facilities, while two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The arrangement provides excellent flexibility for family members and guests alike.
The bathrooms and en suites continue the high quality specification, with Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware, Blanco tapware, Hansgrohe shower fittings and Porcelanosa tiling. Oak internal doors, chrome ironmongery and a crisp, neutral decorative finish enhance the sense of quality throughout the house.
The enclosed rear garden provides private outdoor space for both family life and entertaining, with lawn and patio areas. The double garage and generous driveway parking are complemented by an electric vehicle charging point.
The Elm has been designed as a zero carbon home, incorporating an air source heat pump, solar photovoltaic panels, high performance insulation and energy efficient glazing. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with individually controlled radiators on the first floor. The property has an A rated Predicted Energy Assessment and is offered with Newland Homes' two year Customer Care warranty and a ten year LABC warranty.
Situation
The Cherringtons occupies a desirable position off Kidnappers Lane in Leckhampton, one of Cheltenham's most established and sought after residential areas. Leckhampton has retained a distinct village identity while offering convenient access to the centre of Cheltenham and the beautiful countryside of the Cotswold escarpment.
Bath Road is a particular focus for the local community, with an excellent selection of independent shops, delicatessens, bakeries, cafés, restaurants and public houses. Everyday amenities are well represented, while the nearby districts of Montpellier and the Promenade provide a wider choice of shopping, dining and leisure facilities.
Leckhampton Hill and the surrounding countryside offer extensive opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation, with far reaching views across Cheltenham towards the Malvern Hills. The area provides an appealing balance between access to open countryside and the convenience of living within one of the town's most popular neighbourhoods.
Educational provision is a major attraction. Leckhampton Primary School, Naunton Park Primary School and The High School Leckhampton are all nearby, together with respected independent schools including The Richard Pate School, Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies' College, Dean Close and St Edward's.
Cheltenham is renowned for its Regency architecture, parks and gardens, as well as its exceptional cultural programme. The town hosts internationally recognised literature, jazz, science and music festivals, while Cheltenham Racecourse is home to the celebrated Festival and Gold Cup. There is also a thriving restaurant scene and a broad range of sporting and leisure facilities.
