About

Prestbury & Racecourse sits on the northern edge of Cheltenham, characterised by its expansive green spaces and historic village core. The area is dominated by Cheltenham Racecourse, a major National Hunt venue whose grandstands and paddocks define the landscape. Alongside this is the older settlement of Prestbury, with its narrow lanes and buildings dating from the medieval and Georgian periods, centred around St Mary's Church.

The area is defined by this contrast between the large-scale sporting infrastructure and the quieter, conserved village atmosphere. Events like the Cheltenham Festival in March bring a significant, temporary transformation to the locale. Much of the housing consists of substantial detached properties, often set within generous plots, reflecting the area's established and residential character.
