The Lindens is set at the junction of The Burgage and New Barn Lane. Built in the late 18th or early 19th century in ashlar under a concrete tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1091914 The village of Prestbury, occupied since Saxon times, is some 1½ miles northeast of the town of Cheltenham, which it once rivalled as a commercial centre. 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.

Linden Cottage, The Burgage, is a 17th century cottage, originally detached but now joined to The Lindens Image Between stone gables and under an artificial stone slate roof, the construction is square-panelled timber-framing with painted brick noggin.
