The Piece, Lower Swell, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL54

1 The Piece is an attractive Grade II Listed property built in traditional Cotswold stone, quietly set back from the main road and enjoying an open outlook across adjoining fields. Approached through a gateway and across a private terrace, the front door opens into an inner hallway that leads through to a generous kitchen, dining and family room. This welcoming space features a Rayburn, fitted units, an integrated dishwasher and double doors opening onto a south-facing terrace, creating an ideal area for entertaining. A staircase rises from this room to a first-floor double bedroom complete with an ensuite shower room and WC.
On the ground floor, a large fully fitted utility room sits alongside an inner cloakroom and boot room. The drawing room, rich with character, includes a substantial inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove, providing a charming focal point and a superb second reception space. From here, a staircase leads to a double bedroom with views over the surrounding countryside, a family bathroom with bath and separate shower, and a separate WC. Further staircases continue to the second floor, where two additional double bedrooms enjoy elevated, far-reaching views across the rolling landscape.
Outside, the gardens are notably private, with terraces to the front, side and rear offering inviting spaces to sit, dine and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Mature trees create a secluded setting, and the property backs directly onto the Abbotswood Estate, providing uninterrupted views and access to wonderful countryside walks. To the front of the house there is parking for several vehicles.
