Lapwing Meadows, Coombe Hill, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL19 4BD

Stonewater, in partnership with Bovis Homes, presents a small collection of two and three bedroom homes for shared ownership at the new Lapwing Meadows development. Situated in a rural location off the A38 Coombe Hill, each traditionally built house benefits from gas central heating, solar panels and comes with ready fitted sockets for the residents to install a future electric vehicle charging point.

The interiors have been designed to facilitate working from home with each house having ultra-fast broadband. Outside is off-road parking for two vehicles and a useful cycle shed located in the rear garden.

The layout of the homes makes good use of all the available space with a spacious living/dining area on the ground floor, a separate kitchen, a hall and cloakroom with WC and handbasin. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Lapwing Meadows is surrounded by glorious open countryside while being conveniently located for access to Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Gloucester. Local attractions include the Coombe Hill Nature Reserve, part of the Severn Vale flood plain which provides migrating birds with abundant wetlands in Winter and grassland for ground nesting birds the rest of the year. Ideal for walking or bird watching from one of its many hides the Reserve is just half a mile away. For everyday essentials or a quiet pint a local convenience store, farm shop and a pub, The Swan Inn, are just five minutes’ walk away.

For the weekly grocery shop, a large Food Warehouse supermarket is just over three miles away at The Gallagher Shopping Park on the outskirts of Cheltenham.

A wide range of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars is available in Cheltenham itself, just over five miles away. Known locally as the ‘Festival Town’ Cheltenham is famous for its race course and its culture and nightlife, making it a popular all-round destination. Slightly further away at just over seven miles via the A38 is Gloucester, with its impressive cathedral, historic docks and its own designer outlet at Gloucester Quays.
