Gloucester Road — Gloucester Road

The original cottage at Hope Orchard is believed to date from the late 1920's. Four of the 8 en-suite rooms were originally stables, and then a later extension created another 4 en-suite rooms. Each of these rooms has their own front door giving a particularly independent feel to the income generating accommodation. The operation benefits from the number of businesses in the area, and many festivals in Cheltenham, as well as the proximity to the small airport at Staverton. More information can be found on the website www.hopeorchard.co.uk. The main house accommodation has a lovely and light feel, with a largely open plan layout on the ground floor. Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms plus a shower room and bathroom. The kitchen and bathrooms have been replaced and upgraded in the last three years, and the 8 en-suite rooms in the single storey rear extension have also been refurbished. The business has particular appeal for the independent nature of the guest accommodation, but may also be suitable for a variety of other uses, subject to the necessary consents. In the trading year 2023 - 2024, the owners’ accounts show a trading turnover of over £80,000 for the en-suite rooms alone. To the side and rear of the house is ample gravelled parking and a detached double garage which incorporates laundry and storage areas. There are good sized gardens with lawns to the both sides of the house, plus an orchard area to the rear and a well screened patio outside the conservatory. There are also patios or lawns outside the en-suite rooms. The gardens, which are private and mainly level, back on to open countryside. In total, the grounds are believed to extend to 0.85 of an acre. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
