The 14th century part is constructed of close-studded timber framing with pebble dashed infill exposed on the first floor with the ground floor now mostly random squared and dressed limestone. The later part is random squared and dressed limestone, all under a stone slate roof. Some original internal features remain.

A market was established in 1249, but it declined and the historic village is now merely a suburb of the larger town. The village is home to Prestbury Park, the Cheltenham Racecourse. The village is reputed to be one of the most haunted places in Britain.
