Battledown and Harp Hill

Battledown Estate covers approximately 120 acres with two miles of private roads. It has evolved over time since its establishment in 1859. This gradual development has resulted in a diverse array of residences ranging from large Victorian mansions to smaller houses and bungalows constructed during the 1920s and the immediate post-war era. Today you can see many properties that have either been knocked down and rebuilt or renovated to capture the forever changing modern contemporary property. 

Perched 500 feet above sea level, Battledown Estate presents itself as a green wooden hill with only a few houses visible, forming an integral part of the surrounding hill rim’s prestigious landscape. Various vantage points offer amazing views of Cleeve Hill and towers in town, whilst situated amidst an area of outstanding natural beauty. 

Each property built on the estate occupies a minimum of half an acre of land and is governed by the covenants of the estate. Accessible via four main roads, three of which are restricted to residents through electronic barriers, the charm and peacefulness of the estate is a huge attraction amongst buyers seeking a property, particularly for walkers, cyclists, and joggers who value the safety. It is one of Cheltenham’s most desirable addresses. 

Harp Hill is located just 2 miles from Cheltenham town centre. It has amazing views of the racecourse and the surrounding hills of Cleeve, Malvern and Leckhampton.  The predominately detached houses on Harp Hill span architectural styles from Georgian, Edwardian, and Victorian periods to contemporary modern designs. Some properties benefit from being part of the Battledown Estate, enjoying access to the private roads secured by electronically operated barriers.

Both areas benefit within easy reach of  Holy Apostle Primary school, Ashley Manor Preparatory, Berkhampstead and St Edwards School.
