Lansdown Road, Cheltenham, GL50 2JA

Ref : Sarah ThomasEXP 1046 Set within handsome Glenowen House, an impressive period villa occupying a prominent position on tree lined Lansdown Road, this fabulous two bedroom duplex garden apartment has a wonderful sense of space and character.

Arranged over two floors and enjoying its own private entrance, the accommodation is beautifully proportioned, with light filled living spaces and impressive bedrooms complemented by a private south facing garden. With its individual entrance and accommodation arranged over two levels, there is a sense of independence to the property, giving it more the feel of a small house than a conventional apartment.

ACCOMODATION

The property is approached via a covered entrance to the side of the building, opening directly into a wonderfully light and sociable open plan living space. Thoughtfully arranged to create distinct areas for relaxing, dining and cooking, it is a particularly inviting room and works equally well for everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is smartly appointed with granite work surfaces, a range of integrated appliances and a central island, providing both additional preparation space and a natural focal point within the room. The sitting and dining areas enjoy an abundance of natural light, with glazed doors opening directly onto the private garden and creating an easy connection between the house and outside space during the warmer months. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are particularly impressive, with generous proportions, high ceilings and gorgeous traditional sash windows complemented by elegant plantation shutters. The principal bedroom is something of a showstopper: a wonderfully light and voluminous dual aspect room,  with beautiful windows on two sides and an excellent range of built in wardrobes. The second bedroom is another generous double, again enjoying the wonderful proportions and period detailing that give the upper floor so much character.

Two well proportioned shower rooms serve the bedrooms, while a traditional Sheila Maid clothes airer provides a useful and characterful addition. There is also access via a pull down ladder to the loft, providing valuable additional storage and housing the central heating boiler.

Further features include electric underfloor heating on the ground floor and in one of the bathrooms.

OUTSIDE

Outside, the private south facing garden is a particularly lovely feature of the property. Enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, it is softened by established planting, flowers and shrubs, with a paved terrace providing an attractive spot for outside dining and entertaining. A useful garden shed has the benefit of power.  

The apartment also has the considerable advantage of allocated off road parking for two cars.

Please note: The front exterior photograph was taken prior to the temporary scaffolding being erected. External improvement works are presently underway, including the painting and redecoration of the exterior and woodwork. The rear elevation has recently been completed, and I have been advised that the front elevation will be finished in the same colour.
