THE LOCATION

Bownham Park House is conveniently located west of Cirencester and south of Cheltenham.

It has a parkland setting surrounded by

about 6 acres at the centre of an exclusive private estate built in the grounds of a former

18th century country house. Spectacular views exemplify this part of the Cotswolds and those from Bownham Park House are no exception.

Screened from view on three sides, the house has an open outlook at the rear, across its sweeping lawns and paddock,

to the thickly wooded slopes of the hills opposite.
Local amenities, especially schools are excellent. The latter include Beaudesert Park pre and preparatory school which is immediately

across the adjacent Minchinhampton Common, a wonderful area of open countryside in the protection of the National Trust. The local

market towns of Minchinhampton and Nailsworth are charming: the latter is particularly good for food with an outstanding

delicatessen/fish counter and an award winning family baker. The regency town of Cheltenham is half an hours drive away.

This part of the county lies in the apex of Bristol and the M4 and M5 motorways. It is therefore very convenient for commuters,

accessible to three regional airports as well as Heathrow and has a main line rail service into London, travel time approximately

95 minutes from Stroud Station (3 miles). Leisure opportunities include walking or riding on the common, several challenging

golf courses in the immediate vicinity and many excellent places to eat out.

The Property

Bownham Park House is a wonderful home from which to entertain and bring up a family. Large well lit reception rooms at the

centre of the house are off-set by a more convivial feel in the family areas to provide the perfect balance. Built to a very high

specification nearly 50 years ago, particular features of the house are the quality of the oak joinery as well as the polished

woodblock floors and decorative plasterwork.

During our 14 years of ownership, we have continuously sought to update and improve the fabric of the property installing a

modern Kitchen/Breakfast Room, new Bathrooms, enhancing the insulation values and incorporating a new high efficiency

central heating boiler in 2009.

The result is a very comfortable and well presented home whose main rooms (complemented by an extensive area of raised

decking across the rear) enjoy superb views.

A fine pair of wrought iron gates marks the entrance to the graveled drive which leads to a sweep opposite the front door.

The garden and grounds feature some magnificent trees and provide a wonderful area for children to play in.

There is a range of outbuildings,
a heated outdoor swimming pool and a good-sized paddock of about 2.5 acres.
