4 Brookview Cottages, Pheasant Lane, Cheltenham, GL51 0XX

We took Brookview back to the brick in 2022 and rebuilt it around the way we live: Cooking, entertaining and having people over.

It's a red-brick Victorian home behind electric gates, with south-facing gardens on three sides, no onward chain and a completed legal pack.

I'm also the agent, so your questions go straight to the person who did the work.

The kitchen Made in a workshop to our design and finished in hand-applied Venetian plaster, the shaker kitchen is built around an oversized island where everyone ends up.

With two ovens and two dishwashers, Christmas dinner for a crowd is easy, and an antique-brass Quooker gives still, sparkling and boiling water.

Bi-folds open onto the patio, and the kitchen runs into open-plan living under a roof lantern. Rooms to gather In most Victorian houses the dining room is the dark one nobody uses.

Ours seats twelve, makes people stop as they walk in, and we use it every day.

The snug has a working open fire and wood panelling, and doubles as a ground-floor bedroom beside a marble-effect shower room, which suits older relatives or multi-generational living.

There's also a garden room, a utility and boot room, and a cloakroom, with Farrow & Ball paint and paper throughout.

Upstairs The principal suite is styled like a boutique hotel room, with a dressing room and en-suite. The dressing room was a double bedroom, and we're happy to turn it back into one after exchange.

Two further bedrooms (one currently a study) and a family bathroom complete the floor.

The attic is already boarded, insulated, heated and lit, with a skylight in place, ready for a dormer conversion to add another large double bedroom.

Outside Electric gates open onto driveway parking for six or more cars.

We have our morning coffee on the south-facing patio, and the lawns wrap three sides of the house, enclosed by mature hedging with open countryside to the rear.

There's an established allotment, and we've had a hundred guests out here. Although the house is semi-detached, it feels completely private, on a quiet no-through lane.

Location On the western edge of Cheltenham. The town centre and Cheltenham Spa station (London Paddington in around two hours) are ten minutes away, and the M5 is under five.

Arle Court bus station and Brickhampton Golf Club are within walking distance, and The House in the Tree pub is about twenty minutes on foot across the fields.
