49a, School Road, Cheltenham, GL53 8BL

Tucked away on a sought-after road close to the heart of the village, this beautifully upgraded and extended five bedroom detached family home occupies a generous corner plot with attractive landscaped gardens.

Steeped in history, School Road lies within the Balcarras School catchment area and is surrounded by stunning countryside, offering an ideal setting to enjoy everything Charlton Kings has to offer.

A short stroll in one direction leads to Sixways, renowned for its cafés, boutique shops, pub, wine bar, hair salon, barbers and pharmacy.

In the other direction, the village centre can be reached via Church Walk, where St Mary’s Church provides a charming focal point alongside a variety of amenities including pubs, restaurants, independent cafés, a library, Co-op and a selection of takeaways.

The property has been thoughtfully modernised and extended by the current owners to create a stylish and comfortable home perfectly suited to modern family living.

Inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads to a bright and spacious lounge featuring a contemporary log-burning stove.

The lounge flows seamlessly into the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room — undoubtedly the heart of the home.

Filled with natural light, this sociable space benefits from bifold doors opening onto the rear patio, as well as a stable door providing direct access to the garden.

The beautifully appointed kitchen offers ample work space, Quartz worktops, a range of integrated Bosch appliances and a practical larder cupboard.

Off the kitchen/dining area is a cloakroom and a separate utility room with fitted storage and internal access to the garage. A second reception/snug room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads to the principal bedroom with a superb en-suite shower room, four further bedrooms — one currently used as a home office — and a stunning family bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

Outside, the property enjoys a gated gravel driveway providing off-road parking, while the landscaped gardens wrap around three sides of the home.

Designed with both relaxation and entertaining in mind, the gardens feature well-stocked flower beds, borders and a variety of seating areas, including a large patio ideal for al fresco dining and enjoying the sunshine.

A single garage completes this exceptional home. The property has the benefit of being recently replumbed, rewired and has FTTP broadband wired throughout.

From the high-quality fixtures and fittings, including engineered wooden flooring throughout the downstairs, to the versatile living space and secluded village setting, this is a property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
