Post Office Lane, Cleeve Hill, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL52

NO ONWARD CHAIN. Nestled along a quiet lane part way up Cleeve Hill, this attractive detached cottage combines a large (0.25 acre plot) plot with practical family accommodation that extends to approximately 1,993 sq ft of living space, with a home office above the detached double garage providing valuable additional ancillary space. There is ample gated parking and the property enjoys a peaceful setting within the AONB with attractive west facing gardens that take in views of nearby Nottingham Hill, stretching across the Severn Vale to the Malvern Hills in the distance. The property is versatile in its arrangement with the main living spaces set towards the rear of the house where they benefit from the views and the most incredible sunsets.

The accommodation is approached via an entrance vestibule leading into the main living areas. At the heart of the home is an impressive reception and dining room extending to over 27 feet in length, providing a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining. A conservatory opens from this room, enjoying views over the garden towards the neighbouring hillside and creating a bright additional seating area.

The kitchen/dining room is well proportioned and offers ample space for family dining, with direct access to the garden terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room providing additional storage and laundry facilities. A separate snug offers a cosy retreat and could also serve as a playroom, study or informal sitting room.

There are two staircases to the first floor where there are four bedrooms, three of which look out over the garden towards the Malvern Hills in the distance. The principal bedroom is complemented by an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by two more bathrooms. The bedrooms offer a flexible arrangement suitable for growing families or those requiring dedicated work-from-home space.

Outside, the property enjoys mature gardens that are terraced so providing level areas, a good degree of privacy and space for outdoor entertaining. The quiet mature setting means wildlife including deer, foxes and a variety of birds are regular visitors.

Opposite the house, a detached double garage is complemented by a useful first-floor home office, creating an excellent work-from-home environment separate from the main house. The space could also be utilised as a studio, hobby room or gym, subject to individual requirements. A separate log store and a private driveway with gates complete the external accommodation.

Already a well-proportioned flexible property, there is plenty of space to extend the house to the side or rear subject to the nessacary consents.
