101, Marlborough Road, Gloucester, GL4 6GD

Available to rent and offered in wonderful order, this extended family home has far more space than first meets the eye.

Step in through a handy porch, ideal for shoes and coats, and into a generous, welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the whole house, leading through to the living room, snug, home office and a useful understairs cupboard.

The bay-fronted living room sits to the front, bright and comfortable, while the snug, once the original kitchen and dining room and now opened up into one cosy space, is made for curling up on the sofa and flows naturally through to the kitchen beyond.

That kitchen is very much the heart of the home.

Added by the current owner, it's a genuinely impressive space with a wealth of worktop and storage, integrated appliances including double electric air-fryer ovens, an induction hob and a dishwasher, plus plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

There's ample room for a family dining table, a window overlooking the garden, and access to a lean-to and a further rear porch.

Completing the ground floor is a versatile fourth room, formerly the garage, that works equally well as an extra bedroom or a quiet home office, with sliding doors opening to its own en-suite shower room.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms, the family bathroom and loft access.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in wardrobes, additional storage and a bay window to the front, joined by a second double and a third bedroom, both overlooking the rear.

The modern white family bathroom is finished with a WC, wash hand basin and a bath with shower over.

Outside, the private rear garden is fully enclosed with fenced borders, ideal for children and pets, with a decked area leading up to a raised lawn that comes into its own on summer evenings.

To the front, the driveway offers off-road parking for around two vehicles. Tucked on the edge of Gloucester city centre, Marlborough Road is a genuinely convenient spot for family life.

Primary and secondary schools are close by, along with everyday amenities, a multi-sport court, playing fields and good bus links, while the historic Gloucester Quays, with its choice of restaurants, bars and twelve-screen cinema, is only a short distance away
