Pickering Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL53

A charming, family home with a pretty garden in a quiet and lovely location between Leckhampton and The Park.

Pickering Road is a quiet and smart enclave nestled in one of the most sought after positions in this area, with 1950's homes forming an attractive street scene along the cul-de-sac. This
fine semi-detached property has been a much treasured home and is presented in excellent order throughout the two floors that span over 1600 sq ft. The traditional floorplan is both
practical and well-proportioned yet there is scope to improve and remodel the layout to maximise the square footage on offer.

The wide hallway introduces the reception space on the ground floor, each room is well planned and traditional in style. The sitting room enjoys views over the front gardens through one of the large bay windows that are a feature to these homes; a fireplace provides a focal point. To the rear of the house, is the more formal dining space with a door that leads out to the terrace and garden beyond. It is a lovely space in which to take in the views. The kitchen/breakfast room is adjacent, and also enjoys access to the gardens. Designed with family life in mind, it is well-appointed with a range of units and integrated appliances and the layout incorporates an area for a breakfast table with a separate utility room. A wet room is situated off the utility room.

The staircase rises to the four bedrooms on the first floor, one of these is currently being used as a home office. Both a family bathroom and a family shower room serve these bedrooms.
