Kingsholm Square, Gloucester, GL1

A PERIOD ATTACHED FAMILY HOME OF TRULY DECEPTIVE PROPORTIONS WITH A WONDERFUL COMBINATION OF OLD AND MODERN, SITUATED IN GLOUCESTER’S LOVELY HIDDEN SQUARE

Number 19 is a wonderful example of a combination of period Villa and modern practicality offering surprisingly large family accommodation. The current owners have not only modernised whilst retaining most of the original character, they have added an architect designed and imaginative extension to the rear of mostly glass offering a lovely kitchen dining/family room with a two story window and a mezzanine library/study. Externally there is a good size garden to the front with driveway, a wide side access leading to a rear westerly facing landscaped private garden.

The property is set in the quietest corner of the green oasis of Kingsholm Square in a hidden but highly convenient position within the city. The square has communal tennis courts which are managed by the residents and in addition to tennis provide a venue for events held by the residents.

Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Quays, with their vibrant mix of bars, restaurants and waterfront attractions, are approximately a 15-minute walk away. The city's historic cathedral and its beautiful surroundings can be reached in just a five-minute walk.
