Handlow House Set well back from the road, in an elevated position on the brow of a hill, Handlow House is a substantial and attractive Victorian home of excellent proportions and much character. The house has been very well maintained, the accommodation being arranged over two floors with an excellent balance of reception space on the ground floor to bedrooms on the first. All of the principle rooms have a warm homely feel and enjoy stunning views over the gardens and rolling farmland towards May Hill and the Royal Forest of Dean. A major feature of the property are the gardens which surround the house. Designed by Julian Dowle and immaculately maintained, the gardens are a mixture of well stocked borders and lawns dotted with mature specimen trees and enclosed by established yew and beech hedges. Arranged in a very practical fashion, the property has a formal driveway and parking to the front of the house, the access also leading past the house to the garaging and additional parking at the rear and then on about another 300 yards to the agricultural outbuildings in the fields behind. The red brick coach house and stables behind the house has an existing and implemented, therefore ongoing planning consent (Ref: P1917/11/FUL), to convert it into ancillary accommodation to the house. Screened by mature hedge and tree lines so impossible to spot from the road, the house and gardens are very private. The driveway and yards are gated and the boundaries fenced in the entirety. Water is connected to all of the fields and there is a secondary access from the main road which runs along the western edge of the site.

Situation Churcham is situated in the heart of the Severn Vale, under the recognisable backdrop of May Hill and the Royal Forest of Dean beyond. The Cathedral city of Gloucester is easily accessible. The fashionable Spa town of Cheltenham and riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye are both around 20 minutes drive away. Set in an elevated but very private position, at the end of a long gated drive, the property enjoys glorious views over open farmland.
