Stoke Park Close, Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham, GL52

Built in 1998 by highly regarded local builder J.J.H. Homes, known for creating smaller, individual developments, this substantial four-bedroom detached house occupies an excellent position at the end of a cul-de-sac in the heart of Bishop’s Cleeve. Approached along its own private driveway, the property enjoys a secluded setting while remaining within a short distance of the village’s extensive shops, services and everyday amenities.

The house has been carefully maintained and remains in good overall order, although it now offers an exciting opportunity for its new owners to update and personalise the accommodation.

The spacious ground floor provides an entrance hall, cloakroom and a particularly generous living room with a fireplace and ample space for a variety of furniture arrangements. Further reception space includes a separate dining room and breakfast room, while the adjoining kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and enjoys an outlook over the rear garden. A separate utility room provides additional practicality and internal access to the double garage.

The arrangement of the kitchen, breakfast room and dining room across the rear of the house offers considerable flexibility. Subject to any necessary permissions and structural advice, these rooms could potentially be opened up to create a large contemporary kitchen, dining and family space. Two sets of glazed doors already provide a pleasant connection between the reception areas and the garden.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes or storage. The generous principal bedroom also has an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, the private driveway provides substantial off-road parking and leads to the double garage. The attractive south-facing rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, incorporating gravelled areas, mature planting, colourful flowering borders and several places for outdoor seating and entertaining. An electric awning provides welcome shade over one of the paved seating areas.

A spacious and individual family home in a particularly convenient village location, offering generous proportions, excellent parking, a sunny south-facing garden and considerable potential to create an impressive modern interior.

The property is particularly well placed for enjoying everything Bishop’s Cleeve has to offer, with the village centre and its comprehensive range of amenities within comfortable walking distance. These include supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, pubs, schools, a library, pharmacy and various leisure facilities, while Bishop’s Cleeve Medical Centre is also conveniently close by. The village sits beneath Cleeve Hill, providing ready access to beautiful Cotswold countryside, yet remains well connected to Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and the wider road network.
