Christchurch Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50

Positioned slightly above street level on a wide, tree-lined street, this elegant semi-detached Victorian villa offers a striking blend of period charm and stylish interiors. Set back from Christchurch Road behind a generous driveway, Number 16 Christchurch Road stands out with its stone façade and expansive sash windows.

Inside, the property is filled with natural light and retains many original architectural features, including high ceilings, decorative coving, and detailed archways. The entrance vestibule opens via double doors to a grand reception hall with black and white porcelain tiled flooring, gothic-style arches, and a beautiful stained-glass window framed in a stone mullion.

The ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged for social living, with the family room accessed via double doors from the hall. This inviting space enjoys dual-aspect sash windows with plantation shutters, a stone fireplace with contemporary gas fire, and a deep opening into the adjoining kitchen. A staircase leads down to a versatile lower ground floor room – ideal for a home office, games room, or cinema space.

The kitchen and dining area have been extended with the kitchen being fitted by acclaimed design company Abitalia, known for their premium Italian kitchens. Stylish handleless cabinetry, a Silestone-topped central island, integrated Siemens and Miele appliances, a Caple wine cooler, and a classic Aga create a highly functional yet stylish space. A double-height ceiling and full-width bi-folding doors open to the garden, flooding the room with light and offering a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. To the front of the house the ground floor also features a beautiful drawing room with an open coal fire and large sash windows.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is positioned at the front of the house, with a large sash window framing views across tree lined Christchurch Road. This room benefits from an en-suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. Bedrooms two and three are also doubles and share a Jack & Jill bathroom, with bedroom three enjoying access to a large storage area. Two further double bedrooms occupy the top floor, along with a spacious family bathroom and built-in wardrobes to bedroom five.

The rear south facing garden is beautifully designed and well proportioned for a town setting, featuring established planting in shades of purple and white, a lawn with a sculptural Leaf Ball water feature, and a wide paved terrace. Enclosed in parts by walling and hedging, it offers a high degree of privacy and year-round interest. Gated side access leads to the front of the property, where there is ample parking for three vehicles and secure covered storage.
