Estcourt Road, Gloucester, GL1 3LG

A charming 1930s three-bedroom semi-detached home on one of Gloucester’s most desirable tree-lined roads.  

Looking for a home that blends timeless character with modern comfort in a location that truly stands out?

Located along the ever-popular Escourt Road, this attractive home perfectly blends period character with tasteful modern updates, offering a rare opportunity to own a truly special property in a prestigious setting.

Set behind double barn-style gates, the home is introduced by a welcoming driveway and an original open-ended porch that sets the tone for the character within. Step inside to a light-filled entrance hall, where striking tessellated Victorian tiles and an ornate stairwell immediately capture the eye. The property offers three generous reception areas. At the front, a beautiful bay-fronted living room features an exposed brick fireplace and the warm glow of a log-burning stove — a perfect retreat for cosy evenings. A second reception also enjoys a feature fireplace and provides ideal space for dining or additional lounging. From here, sliding doors open to a well-proportioned conservatory with wonderful views over the landscaped rear garden, drawing the outdoors in.

The kitchen, accessed via a separate opening from the hallway, is fitted in a timeless shaker style with solid oak worktops, a feature Belfast sink, and an integrated eye-level Neff oven and hob. A double-glazed door leads from the kitchen to the side passage and on to a substantial detached outbuilding. Fully powered, heated, and air-conditioned, this versatile space offers superb potential as a home office, studio, gym, or creative workspace.

The rear garden is a particular highlight — a beautifully landscaped and highly private haven with a generous patio area, large lawn, and a stunning collection of mature trees, shrubs, and established planting. A charming timber treehouse is discreetly nestled at the far end, providing a playful or peaceful escape depending on its use.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is light and airy, leading to three well-appointed bedrooms. Two are spacious doubles, while the third is a large single or small double, making it a flexible option for a nursery, home office, or guest room. The family shower room is modern and bright, completing the first-floor accommodation. There is also a substantial loft space offering clear scope for conversion, as several neighbouring homes have done, to create a luxurious principal suite or additional bedroom, subject to the necessary permissions.

Escourt Road is ideally positioned within walking distance of Gloucester city centre, the historic cathedral quarter, and the mainline train station with direct services to London in under two hours. Excellent access to the M5 makes it convenient for commuters, and families will appreciate the wide selection of nearby grammar schools and the highly regarded King’s School. The fashionable spa town of Cheltenham lies less than six miles away, while world-class rugby at Kingsholm Stadium is just a short stroll from the front door.

This is a truly special home that combines elegance, warmth, and practicality in equal measure — early viewing is highly recommended. REF LH0563
