Description

This detached family home, dating back to the early 1900s, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within a generous plot of 0.75 acres. Nestled in a charming street that embodies the character of Cheltenham, this property is just moments from the local amenities of Bath Road and Leckhampton. The current layout features a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a sizeable sitting room. Double doors connect this space to the dining room, which offers pleasant views of the garden. The kitchen, positioned at the rear of the house, also boasts these inviting vistas. A conservatory spans the length of the property and adds natural light to the main living areas. Completing this floor is a utility area with an adjoining cloakroom. While this well-loved home has served as a family residence for many years, it is now in need of cosmetic updates and modernization. This presents an exciting canvas for potential buyers looking to redesign or extend the existing layout to better suit contemporary living needs. Upstairs, three double bedrooms share access to a bathroom. Each bedroom offers ample space and natural light, ideal for reimagining as part of any renovation project. The exterior grounds are particularly noteworthy; with expansive gardens and several outbuildings providing significant scope for development or enhancement (subject to necessary planning permissions). The gardens offer plenty of possibilities for landscaping or other uses, while three garages contribute additional utility. At the back of the property lies a versatile detached outbuilding that includes a double garage along with kitchen and shower facilities. Above this space is a studio currently utilized as a home office but could easily be transformed into an annex, gym, or further office space—a compelling option for those looking to generate rental income or accommodate extended family. Located on Church Road at the edge of Leckhampton, this area is highly sought after due to its proximity to local schools—including Leckhampton Primary School and Leckhampton High School—as well as easy access to shops, restaurants, and scenic walking trails on Leckhampton Hill. Cheltenham’s vibrant cultural scene, renowned festivals, and numerous prestigious educational institutions make it an appealing place for families and commuters alike. Convenient links to major road networks including the M5 and A417 further enhance its attractiveness. This property stands as a promising opportunity not only for personal enjoyment but also as an investment with substantial potential for growth through thoughtful renovations in one of Cheltenham’s most desirable locations.
