Painswick Road, Gloucester, GL4 6PS

What if your first home gave you three bedrooms, a dedicated home office and a garden stretching to nearly 80ft?   

There’s something immediately warm and inviting about this Victorian home on Painswick Road. Period fireplaces, comfortable proportions and a beautifully finished kitchen all give it character, but it’s the spaces you don’t necessarily expect that make it particularly interesting.

Set back behind a traditional courtyard frontage, the house opens into a welcoming living room, where an ornate feature fireplace provides a natural focal point.

Beyond, the extended open-plan kitchen and dining room feels like the heart of the home. Beautifully appointed and looking directly onto the rear garden, it creates a sociable everyday space for cooking, eating and entertaining, with plenty of natural light from the rear.

A rear lobby continues through to a clean, white downstairs family bathroom.

But there’s another level to this house.

Tucked beneath the ground floor is a converted cellar, currently used as a dedicated work-from-home office. For anyone who has spent the last few years trying to work from a dining table or spare bedroom, having a separate workspace that doesn’t compromise the rest of the accommodation is a genuine advantage. Equally, it could become a gaming room, hobby space or somewhere simply to escape from the main house.

Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, together with access to a useful loft space.

And then there’s the garden.

At nearly 80ft in length, it offers considerably more outside space than you might expect from a home of this style. It has been cleverly divided by newly installed timber fencing to create two distinct areas, with a generous lawn, patio space and timber outbuilding, giving different parts of the garden their own purpose.

Double glazing and gas central heating complete the practical side of the home, while the location puts Gloucester city centre approximately a mile away, with a number of highly regarded secondary schools also within easy reach.

For a first-time buyer wanting the character of a Victorian home without sacrificing bedrooms, outside space or somewhere to work from home, Painswick Road offers a combination that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find.  REF LH0563 Please quote Leon Holder
