Leckhampton Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL53

A rare opportunity to acquire a five bedroom detached home within a lovely plot in a quiet enclave in the heart of Leckhampton.

An excellent detached home offering great potential

Forming part of a small enclave of just three individual homes off the sought after Leckhampton Road, Number One, Whitley Court offers an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a 1960’s detached property in such a prime yet discreet location. Commissioned by its only owner, 60 years ago, it has been a much-treasured family home that offers considerable scope for renovation. Together with a range of garaging and an outbuilding, it provides potential for exciting future development to reimagine the entire living accommodation subject to a purchaser’s requirements and planning permission.

Leckhampton Road is a highly desirable address, while Whitley Court is a peaceful no-through enclave offering a rare combination of privacy and tranquillity, yet remaining part of a vibrant community. With Leckhampton Primary School, The Leckhampton High School and The Richard Pate School all within a short stroll and priority catchment, together with excellent local amenities less than ten minutes’ walk away, the location offers an enviable lifestyle at every stage of life.
