Painswick Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50

A classic, detached family home offering excellent accommodation with parking, a double garage and the most beautiful plot on this highly coveted road.

The Property
Number 76 is the one of the few detached properties of its era on this highly coveted road and occupies one of the best plots and gardens. Having been a much treasured home for many years, the owners have extended and continually enhanced the property to create a family home that offers practical accommodation and well-proportioned rooms indicative of its 1960’s era. Whilst immaculate in finish, the lateral layout, and the large plot, allows the scope to enhance and extend, subject to the necessary planning consents, to create a masterpiece like many others have done on this prime road.

Extending to over 2500 sq ft, the accommodation is centered around a wide and welcoming reception hall with oak flooring that runs throughout the two floors, with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms. The more formal sitting room is set to one end of the house, with a feature fireplace and double doors that open to the terrace and gardens. Adjacent is a snug/music room, also with French doors that lead to the grounds and to the other end of the hall, is the kitchen and dining room. Fitted in more recent years this superb space has been designed entirely to overlook and open up to the grounds, a use of glazing, doors and large windows enhance the light to capture the view. The kitchen itself has been fitted by renowned Woodchester Kitchens, offering handmade, well-appointed units, integrated appliances and a large breakfast island with Granite worktops. A utility, with rear access, and cloakroom complete the accommodation.

The bedroom accommodation is excellent, there are five bedrooms, one of which has been adapted to provide a home office with built in cabinetry. The principal bedroom has an ensuite and a guest bedroom enjoys an adjoining balcony, for seating to enjoy the far reaching views of the gardens, the church of St Philips and St James and to Leckhampton Hill in the background. Two family bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms.

The Setting and Garden
The plot in which the property is positioned is a fundamental element to the overall feel of the house. Set well back from the road, the frontage is made up of a large garden area with mature trees and planting and parking for a number of vehicles with access to the large garage. The garden at the rear is a particular feature, and for living so close to the town centre is unexpected. Both mature and private, it an expanse of level lawn with curated beds, specimen trees and beautiful planting with views of the church and Leckhampton Hill beyond.

The Area
