Elm Close, Prestbury, Cheltenham, GL52 3ED

A charming three bedroom detached home dating from the 1950s, quietly tucked away at the end of Elm Close — an exclusive cul de sac of just eight houses in highly desirable Prestbury.

Set on a generous corner plot and just a short stroll from Prestbury village, local shops and pubs, the property enjoys an enviable position right around the corner from the famous Cheltenham Racecourse.

OVERVIEW - Period detached house with excellent extension potential - Three bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor - Entrance hall, living room, family room, conservatory and extended kitchen on the ground floor - Large wrap around garden, driveway parking and garage - Double glazing and gas central heating - Strong school catchment including St Mary’s Federation; secondary options include Cleeve, Winchcombe and Pittville schools INTERIOR The home welcomes you through a good sized entrance hall into a well proportioned living room with abundant natural light — a comfortable principal reception ideal for family living.

A separate family room provides flexible space for dining, a play area or a home office.

The conservatory, overlooking the garden, creates a bright, airy spot for casual dining or relaxing with a view of the mature planting.

The kitchen has been extended to provide practical cooking and prep space with potential to modernise further or reconfigure if desired. Upstairs are three bedrooms served by a shower room.

The layout is straightforward and functional, offering immediate comfort while also presenting clear opportunities to update fixtures, add an en suite or rework the space to create a bespoke family bathroom.

EXTERIOR AND PLOT The corner plot is one of the property’s standout features.

The wrap around garden is spacious and private, planted with mature shrubs and fruit trees, and offers scope for landscaping, entertaining patios, or further extensions (subject to planning).

A driveway provides parking for some vehicles and leads to a single garage, useful for storage or conversion (STP).

LOCATION AND AMENITIES Elm Close sits within walking distance of the social hub of Prestbury village — with independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs — and benefits from immediate proximity to Cheltenham Racecourse for seasonal events and leisure.

The area is well served by primary and secondary schools, including the St Mary’s Federation and nearby secondary options at Cleeve, Winchcombe and Pittville, making it particularly attractive to families.

POTENTIAL With its large corner plot, peaceful cul de sac setting and strong local amenities, this property represents a rare opportunity to create a larger, contemporary family home.

Possible improvements include side and rear extensions, an upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, and garden remodelling — all of which would significantly enhance living space and value (subject to planning).
