Description

Situated in the sought-after Leckhampton area, this detached four-bedroom property spans approximately 1337 square feet and presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and enhancement. The home is laid out over two levels; the ground floor greets you with a spacious hallway that includes an understairs cupboard and a convenient cloakroom. The sitting room is bathed in natural light, featuring a gas fireplace and sliding doors that lead to the rear garden, making it ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. A separate dining room complements the layout, providing additional space for gatherings. The kitchen, equipped with fitted units, opens into a quaint breakfast room with access to the garden as well. From here, you have direct entry to the integral garage. On the upper floor, the main bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room, while three additional bedrooms offer ample family accommodation serviced by a family bathroom. Given its generous layout and prime location, alongside significant potential for improvement or extension (subject to planning), this property represents a promising investment in one of Cheltenham’s prestigious locales. Outside, the front features a block-paved driveway with ample parking and lawn space leading to the garage. Gated side access opens up to a sizable rear garden that benefits from a sunny north-west aspect. This outdoor space includes a patio area surrounded by established planted borders and enjoys privacy from surrounding walled and fenced boundaries. Leckhampton not only offers proximity to scenic countryside walks at Leckhampton Hill but also provides quick access to local amenities on Bath Road, which include shops, bars, and restaurants. Educational provisions are excellent with both primary schools nearby and secondary options through Balcarras School's new Leckhampton High School. Transport links are convenient via Junctions 10 and 11 of the M5 motorway, along with train services connecting Cheltenham Spa to London (Paddington) among other major cities.
