The vendors family have been in occupation of the property and have farmed it for almost 100 years. It is now offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in six lots. Situation Hayden Farm is situated on the eastern side of the Regency town of Cheltenham with easy access to the town centre. Cheltenham offers a wide range of facilities for everyday living and is renowned for its excellent shopping facilities, bars, restaurants and retail parks. It is also well known for the many festivals including the literature, jazz, science and National Hunt festivals, including the Gold Cup meeting in the spring. Cheltenham is often referred to as the Queen of the Cotswolds, having the country s largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty characterised by charming Cotswold stone villages, rolling hills and meandering river valleys. The surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking, cycling and riding. The Heythrop, North Cotswold and Cotswold hunts all meet close by.

5 LOT 1 The farmhouse, gardens, farm buildings and around 12.6 acres The farmhouse The farmhouse dates from the early 17th Century but has later alterations and is Grade II Listed. Timber framed and utterly charming, the house is today a good sized and well presented fully modernised family house. Until recently, the property has been divided into two dwellings although it is now reunited as one. The division could easily be reinstituted. In all there are five bedrooms and three/four reception rooms. One of the reception rooms has a shower room off and could be used as a sixth downstairs bedroom. It retains many of its original features including inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers, flagstone floors and of particular note (and mentioned in the Listing notes) is a cantilevered straight

6 drop inside privy, the wooden seat of which and cover amazingly survives. The privy is talked about in a number of publications on the subject! The gardens In front of the house is a wide gravelled driveway providing parking for several cars, and flagstone courtyard enclosed by original stone troughs and well water pump. To the side of the house and behind are the gardens which are largely lawned although there are a number of well stocked borders. The main expanse of lawn was once used as a grass tennis court. There are some good mature fruit and specimen trees including blue cedar, walnut, dessert and cooking apples and Victoria plum.
