Description
Old Farthings is a substantial 5 bedroom detached property located in a most desirable position on Church Road in the heart of the popular village of Leckhampton and a stone’s throw from the highly sought after Leckhampton Primary School, rated as “outstanding” by Ofsted.
Local day to day amenities are within easy reach on the popular Bath Road shopping area with Cheltenham centre approximately 2 miles away. For those who enjoy the countryside it is a short stroll to the local playing fields and the outstanding beauty of Leckhampton Hill which offers many lovely walks and historic sites of interest.
Old Farthings is well placed for access to the M5 and motorway networks to other major cities including Bristol and London.
The property was originally part of the Leckhampton Court estate with the oldest remaining portion dating back to the 18thC. Having fallen into a state of disrepair it was purchased by the current owners in 1964 and at that time was known as Club Cottage. The house and grounds having previously been used by the Leckhampton Rifle Club.
The house was renamed “Old Farthings” due to the large quantity of these coins found in the walls when the house was completely renovated and extended during the 1960’s and 70’s.
Although a very solidly built property it is now once again in need of updating to begin a new chapter in its history. With the appropriate permissions it has vast possibilities for creating a truly magnificent family home.
Old Farthings is situated on a 1/3 of an acre plot and benefits from having a partially rebuilt stone barn at the rear of the garden with further out buildings (in need of renovation) stretching for approximately 21.5M between the barn and the rear of the large double garage.
The barn and outbuildings were utilised by the current owners as workshop and office space but offer endless possibilities for development.
Currently the accommodation is arranged over 2 floors comprising 3 good sized reception rooms all benefitting from a charming stone fireplace, large hallway with attractive open tread staircase, downstairs cloakroom and large kitchen with separate utility room. Upstairs there are 5 double bedrooms (1 ensuite) and bathroom with separate toilet.
This is a unique property and has not been on the market since the current owner purchased nearly 60 years ago and offers, would be buyers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a beautiful family home with huge potential in a highly desirable location.
