INTERIOR

The home welcomes you through a good sized entrance hall into a well proportioned living room with abundant natural light — a comfortable principal reception ideal for family living. A separate family room provides flexible space for dining, a play area or a home office. The conservatory, overlooking the garden, creates a bright, airy spot for casual dining or relaxing with a view of the mature planting. The kitchen has been extended to provide practical cooking and prep space with potential to modernise further or reconfigure if desired.

Upstairs are three bedrooms served by a shower room. The layout is straightforward and functional, offering immediate comfort while also presenting clear opportunities to update fixtures, add an en suite or rework the space to create a bespoke family bathroom.

EXTERIOR AND PLOT

The corner plot is one of the property’s standout features. The wrap around garden is spacious and private, planted with mature shrubs and fruit trees, and offers scope for landscaping, entertaining patios, or further extensions (subject to planning). A driveway provides parking for some vehicles and leads to a single garage, useful for storage or conversion (STP).

LOCATION AND AMENITIES

Elm Close sits within walking distance of the social hub of Prestbury village — with independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs — and benefits from immediate proximity to Cheltenham Racecourse for seasonal events and leisure. The area is well served by primary and secondary schools, including the St Mary’s Federation and nearby secondary options at Cleeve, Winchcombe and Pittville, making it particularly attractive to families.

POTENTIAL

With its large corner plot, peaceful cul de sac setting and strong local amenities, this property represents a rare opportunity to create a larger, contemporary family home. Possible improvements include side and rear extensions, an upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, and garden remodelling — all of which would significantly enhance living space and value (subject to planning).
