Asquith Road, Leckhampton, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL53

Set towards the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this thoughtfully updated three-bedroom semi-detached home combines a particularly appealing outlook with stylish accommodation and a beautifully established south-westerly garden.

One of the property's more unusual qualities is its position. The house is approached on foot through its attractive front garden, with an open outlook across the playing fields and allotments towards the countryside and hills beyond, giving the setting a sense of space that is immediately apparent on arrival.

An enclosed porch opens into a central hallway, with the two principal living spaces arranged separately on the ground floor.

To the front is a comfortable living room, where the large window makes the most of the outlook and a wood-burning stove provides a natural focal point. The proportions allow plenty of space for substantial seating while retaining the warm, relaxed feel of the room.

Across the rear, the kitchen and dining room is arguably the heart of the house. Extending to approximately 17ft, it has been thoughtfully refitted to create a bright and sociable everyday space, with an extensive range of cabinetry, generous work surfaces and plenty of room for a dining table.

Glazed doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out and allowing the kitchen/dining room to work particularly well for entertaining during the warmer months.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a naturally bright landing. The principal and second bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, while the third provides a useful bedroom, nursery or home-working space. Built-in storage has been incorporated into the first floor and the bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

The rear garden is another real strength of the property. Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, it has been carefully landscaped to create an established and characterful outside space rather than simply an expanse of lawn.

A paved terrace immediately adjoining the house provides space for outdoor dining, while lawn, mature planting and established borders lead through the garden. A pergola creates another attractive seating area and the mature planting provides a particularly pleasant backdrop.

Gated side access connects the front and rear gardens, while an en-bloc garage provides useful parking or storage.

The front garden has been equally well considered, with lawn, mature planting and pathways complementing the house while retaining the open outlook beyond.
