Hetton Gardens, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, GL53

A beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home with a stunning south-facing garden, double garage and far-reaching views towards Cleeve Hill, situated in the sought-after Hetton Gardens area of Charlton Kings.

This charming detached home offers a wonderful combination of character, quality and practicality, with beautifully considered accommodation arranged over two floors. Set within a particularly attractive plot, the property benefits from off-road parking for two cars, a double garage and an exceptional south-facing garden.

On entering the property, the separate hallway immediately sets the tone, with a beautiful solid oak staircase rising to the first floor and clever, built-in storage beneath — an invaluable feature for any busy family home. There is also a useful downstairs cloakroom.

The heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting space. The solid oak kitchen flows naturally into the dining area before continuing through to a wonderful dual-aspect sitting room. Although open and connected, each area remains subtly defined, creating distinct spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing without losing the sense of togetherness. The sitting room is particularly inviting, featuring a traditional fireplace with either a log or coal-burning fire, providing a lovely focal point.

Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive. There are four bedrooms in total, including two excellent bedrooms enjoying wonderful views towards Leckhampton Hill, alongside two further bedrooms which, although smaller, have been finished to the same high standard. A beautifully presented family bathroom with shower over the bath serves the bedrooms, while the gallery-style landing adds to the feeling of space and light.

Outside, the gardens are truly special. The generous south-facing garden has been thoughtfully planted and established over many years, creating a beautiful and private setting. A paved patio provides the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with mature wisteria and a magnificent magnolia adding colour and character. The garden also features a well-established yew tree, a dedicated soft-fruit area enclosed by netting, an impressive top-of-the-range greenhouse and a selection of established apple and pear trees.

To the front, there is off-road parking for two vehicles, while the substantial double garage provides excellent additional parking, storage or workspace.

The property is particularly well placed for local schooling, with Charlton Kings offering well-regarded primary education within the village, including Charlton Kings Infants’ School and Charlton Kings Junior School. For secondary education, the property is within the Balcarras School area of priority, subject to the school’s admission arrangements and the applicable criteria at the time of application. Balcarras Academy is an 11–18 co-educational academy situated within Charlton Kings itself, making this an especially attractive location for families looking to remain within the local area throughout their children’s education.

The location also provides easy access to the wider amenities of Charlton Kings, with its village shops, cafés, pubs and community facilities close by, alongside excellent access to open countryside and Cleeve Hill. Cheltenham town centre is also within easy reach, providing an extensive range of shopping, dining, cultural and recreational facilities.

A truly special family home combining beautifully finished accommodation, an exceptional established garden, excellent parking and garage facilities, and a highly desirable Charlton Kings location.
