Spanning approximately 1,337 square feet, the property features a well-thought-out layout across two levels, offering significant potential for those looking to modernize or expand. The ground floor greets you with a spacious hallway that includes an understairs cupboard and a convenient cloakroom. The airy sitting room is characterized by a gas fireplace and sliding doors that seamlessly connect to the garden, providing an inviting atmosphere for both relaxation and entertaining. A separate dining room enhances the living space, while the kitchen is equipped with fitted units and opens into a breakfast room—also featuring sliding doors that lead to the garden. Additionally, there's direct access to the integral garage from this area. On the upper level, the main bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes alongside its own ensuite shower room. Three additional generously-sized bedrooms cater well to family needs, all served by a family bathroom. This property's current configuration allows for various updates or renovations that could enhance living quality while adding value. Outside, you'll find practicality in the block-paved driveway accommodating multiple vehicles, complemented by grassy front lawns and garage access. The side gate leads to a substantial rear garden with a desirable north-west facing aspect, featuring both a patio area and established planted borders that provide privacy through walled and fenced boundaries. Leckhampton is known for its attractive residential appeal on the southern fringes of Cheltenham town center. Residents benefit from nearby countryside walks at Leckhampton Hill as well as proximity to Bath Road's range of shops, bars, and restaurants. Educational facilities are robust, including highly regarded primary schools and the upcoming Leckhampton High School in collaboration with Balcarras School. Commuters will appreciate easy access to motorway links via Junctions 10 and 11 on the M5, along with regular train services from Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington and other major cities. This property not only serves as an excellent family home but also offers great potential for enhancement in one of Cheltenham's most desirable neighborhoods.
