Lyefield Road West, Cheltenham, GL53

For families who dream of an elegant home in one of Cheltenham’s most sought-after locations, this Edwardian treasure in Charlton Kings delivers everything on the wish list — period charm, modern updates, and a location within the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Balcarras Secondary School catchment. Add in far-reaching countryside views, a landscaped 100-foot garden, and a community that feels genuinely welcoming, and it’s easy to see why homes on Lyefield Road West rarely come to market. If you’re looking for a house that balances family practicality with a touch of everyday luxury, this could well be your forever address.
From the moment you step through the brand-new period-style front door, the tone is set. A home that has been lovingly maintained and recently redecorated, it effortlessly combines sympathetic décor with original character. The elegant sash windows, newly double-glazed in timber and complete with shutters, bring light and warmth throughout the home while staying true to its heritage. The versatile reception rooms give families options — cosy evenings in the front lounge, games and play in a secondary sitting room, or a more formal dining space when the occasion calls for it.
The real centrepiece is the contemporary open-plan kitchen diner, designed for modern family living. Vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating, and full-height windows create a dramatic yet welcoming space. The kitchen itself feels made for both sociable brunches and quiet weekday suppers, with sleek finishes and thoughtful design. French doors lead seamlessly to the garden, connecting indoors and outdoors in a way that feels perfect for children and grown-ups alike.
Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms, spacious family bathroom and converted attic room provide plenty of flexibility, each offering bright and well-proportioned space. For families needing practical extras, the converted basement is a game-changer, providing a substantial utility area, with an additional shower room, and excellent storage facilities on the ground floor to keep life running smoothly.
Step outside and the garden comes into its own. Circa 100 feet long and beautifully landscaped, it is both private and practical, with mature planting supported by an inbuilt watering system for easy maintenance. Sociable seating areas invite summer gatherings, while the garden studio adds space for hobbies, work, or teenage hangouts. There’s also a shed and secure dry storage, making the most of every inch. Wide gated side access ensures easy movement of bikes, prams, and pets, a detail that busy families will truly appreciate.
Charlton Kings is one of Cheltenham’s most desirable villages for good reason. The combination of outstanding schools, excellent local amenities, and a real sense of community makes it a natural choice for families. Here, you’re just a short stroll from independent shops, friendly cafés, and everyday essentials, with regular bus routes providing straightforward links into Cheltenham town centre and beyond. The surrounding countryside offers scenic walks and open space, perfect for active weekends. And with unrestricted on-street parking, visiting friends and family will never be an issue.
This is more than just a house. It’s a family home designed to grow with you, balancing period elegance with modern convenience, all in a location that puts education, lifestyle, and community at its heart.
