Southam Lane, Southam, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL52

Exposed beams, deep-set leaded windows and stone fireplace, paired with a neutral palette, give Rowan House a refined, yet light and contemporary feel.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with bespoke shaker-style cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and a range cooker set within a chimney breast. This space flows naturally into the dining and garden areas, with French doors opening directly onto a terrace - ideal for indoor- outdoor entertaining. The principal living room is equally lovely, centred around a substantial stone fireplace with wood-burning stove. The dining room and family room provide direct access to the garden, and a separate study completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor provides well-proportioned bedroom accommodation, including a superb principal suite arranged beneath a vaulted ceiling, creating a wonderfully airy and tranquil space. This room incorporates a dressing area, freestanding bath and further en suite shower room, creating an indulgent retreat. The second bedroom, currently arranged as a cinema room, is generously proportioned and includes an en suite shower room. The remaining three double bedrooms enjoy views across the garden and are served by a well-appointed bathroom featuring a spa bath, ideal for family living.

Externally, Rowan House is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to the double garage. The home also has planning permission to build a detached double car barn, giving a future purchaser the opportunity to convert the existing double garage into further accommodation. The gardens are a notable feature of the property, extending to approximately 0.6 acres and laid predominantly to lawn with mature trees and established hedging.
