This is a truly special home with a wonderful feel, ideal for growing families seeking space, character, and a location in one of Cheltenham’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Ground Floor

You are welcomed into an attractive, well presented entrance hall, finished in neutral tones that complement the character of the property.

To the front, the drawing room enjoys an attractive outlook over Newcourt Park and features a large bay window with plantation shutters, along with a striking ornate period fireplace.

Adjacent to the drawing room is the dining room, which features an attractive original fireplace and offers great flexibility, equally well suited as a playroom, snug, or home office depending on your needs.

To the rear, the property opens into an impressive circa 40ft open plan kitchen and family space, extended by the current owners to create a bright and sociable heart of the home. The kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with ample worktop space, excellent storage, integrated appliances, and a breakfast bar for informal dining. 

The living area flows seamlessly from the kitchen, offering a relaxed and comfortable space complete with a log burning stove. From here, French doors open directly onto the fabulous rear garden. The entire area is finished with oak engineered flooring, giving a smart and cohesive feel throughout.

There is also a downstairs cloakroom, conveniently located off the hallway.

The property benefits from side access to the garden, ideal for bikes, bins, or pets. A log store is sited by the side door. 

There is scope to extend further into the side return if desired, subject to the usual planning permissions.

First Floor

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all finished with oak engineered flooring for a consistent and stylish finish.

The principal bedroom to the front, is bright and well proportioned, with two large windows fitted with plantation shutters. The two rear bedrooms offer charming views over the garden and towards the Cotswold Hills, adding a real sense of light and space.

The bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, which combines classic design with a contemporary edge. It features a freestanding roll top bath, traditional style fittings, and attractive floor tiling.  The overall finish is clean, elegant, and perfectly in keeping with the character of the home.

Basement Room

The current owners converted the basement to create a versatile additional room that can easily adapt to a range of needs, whether as a guest bedroom, home office, playroom or snug.  A window brings in natural light, making the space feel bright, and there is also a recessed storage cupboard, adding to its practicality.

Loft

The boarded loft, with electrical sockets and lighting, offers excellent potential for conversion into a generous principal suite,  subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. It presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to create additional living space.

Garden

Measuring approximately circa 200ft in length, the garden is a standout feature, cleverly landscaped to provide a series of distinct zones. There is a BBQ area, a covered outdoor dining space, vegetable beds, and a large lawn, perfect for children to play.

Towards the end of the garden, there is a useful wooden workshop and a log store, offering plenty of practical storage while keeping the garden tidy and organised.

A fabulous garden which can be enjoyed all year round.

In Summary

This is a warm and inviting home with real character, thoughtful updates, and in my opinion, one of the best family gardens you will find in Charlton Kings.
