Leckhampton Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL53

An Edwardian home of great style and character, beautifully presented with many of the rooms accompanied by fine period features and presented in first class order, in a style in keeping with the era blended with contemporary fittings for comfortable modern living.

A fine family home of impressive proportions with living space arranged to provide ample room for a family to have their own privacy along with rooms that are wonderful for entertaining on a generous scale.
Set well back from Leckhampton Road and fronted by a large driveway, the house has impressive Edwardian elevations with wide bay windows that flood the house with natural light.
The reception hall with its handsome staircase and stripped, polished floorboards set the scene for the character of the house and opens to two impressive reception rooms and a large, extended kitchen/dining/family room.
To the front is the elegant drawing room with a lovely focal point being the period style fireplace housing a newly installed woodburning stove. Deep ceiling coving and picture rails add further to the character of the room and plantation shutters dress the wide bay window. The second sitting room is equally impressive, again with a lovely fireplace housing a woodburning stove, ceiling coving and picture rails, shelving and cabinetry to the fireside recess and French doors with stained glass detail opening to an inner courtyard.
The open plan kitchen/dining/family room is a wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining. The room opens out on to the terrace and garden via two sets of bi-folding doors, creating a seamless link from indoors to outdoors. The kitchen area is fitted with extensive modern cabinetry, silestone work surfaces, a fitted Range style cooker, dishwasher, larder style fridge and freezer and drinks fridge. The room is large enough to comfortably accommodate a sofa and chairs to create a relaxed sitting room area and underneath the wide ceiling lantern is perfect for dining, overhead recesses are filled with decorative foliage, with wall panelling and plantation shutters adding to the character.
From the kitchen area, steps lead down to a very spacious utility room fitted with storage units and understairs cupboard, wall mounted gas fired boiler and pressurised tank, space for white goods and door to an enclosed cloakroom suite.
The feeling of space is enhanced throughout the house by the arrangement of bedrooms off generous mezzanine landings. Over the first floor are two bedroom suites with the main bedroom to the front being particularly impressive. Extending to just under 20’, this principal bedroom feels luxurious, decorated in warm tones with plantation shutters to the wide bay window to the front, a Bath stone fireplace and two fitted double wardrobes. The large en-suite is fitted with a freestanding bath, there is a separate shower cubicle, twin hand basins and plantation shutters to the sash hung window.
Bedroom 5 on the first floor is perfect as a study or dressing room to the main bedroom, a further double bedroom sits adjacent to the family bathroom and on the top floor is a large bedroom with adjoining room that works well as a study or, subject to the usual building regulations, has scope to create an en-suite.
