LOCATION:
Cheveley Hollow Stables are located in an elevated position with outstanding views across the Cotswold Hills. The property has excellent communications with direct access to the main A40 Cheltenham to Oxford road. The nearby villages of Andoversford and Northleach provide most daily requirements, and more extensive shopping and other facilities are available in Cheltenham. London is easily accessible along the A40/M40. The property is situated in the heart of the Cotswold Hills where there is a wide range of recreational opportunities. There is also an excellent range of schools in the locality.

THE PROPERTY:
Cheveley Hollow Stables is a fascinating building predominantly constructed of Cotswold stone, comprising a stable yard facing into a central courtyard with front wall and entrance archway. The building is believed to date from the Victorian era when it was once a farmstead, but has since been converted to equestrian use. Over the entrance archway is a date stone 1934 with the initials RHAG. The previous owners of the property utilised it as racing stables, and it now houses retired racehorses.

To the rear of the stables, the former stalls have been converted into living accommodation from where there is an outstanding outlook over open countryside. The property has the benefit of full planning consent to convert the entire stable complex into a single substantial dwelling house with an approximate internal floor area of 4487 sq ft ( 416.9 sq m).

The Existing Accommodation:
The dwelling, which requires some refurbishment, is approached from the stable courtyard from where a door leads to a Tack Room/Entrance Hallway (4.1m x 3.25m – 13ft 5in x 10ft 7in). Kitchen (5.30m x 4.50m – 17ft 4in x 14ft 7in) with range of timber base and wall units containing a single drainer sink with mixer taps, exposed beams, garden door and door to the conservatory.

and flagstone hearth containing a woodburning stove, exposed beams, radiator and door to the Conservatory (4.90m x 3.65m – 16ft 1in x 12ft), UPVC double glazed, flagstone floor and garden door.

From the kitchen, a doorway leads to a Landing. Family Bathroom with bath, washhand basin, wc, heated towel rail and integral shower unit. Utility Room containing the Worcester Heatslave 20/25 oil-fired combi-boiler and plumbing for washing machine. Bedroom One (4.60m x 3.45m – 15ft 1in x 11ft 4in) with range of wardrobes. Bedroom Two (7.20m x 4.65m – 23ft 7in x 15ft 3in) with large sliding
French windows to the garden and large walk-in hanging cupboard.

From the entrance hallway a further door leads to the Games Room/Bedroom Three (6.30m x 5.55m – 20ft 6in x 18ft 2in). The room is open to the eaves and has been partly refurbished, requiring a replacement floor. There is a door to a small rear garden, and a further door to the stable yard.
