Further Information

DESCRITPION

Greenside occupies the most charming position on what is undeniably one of Cheltenham’s finest roads. Oakley Road itself offers views of Cheltenham and the Severn Vale beyond with Greenside tucked away in a private setting. Architecturally re designed to combine two eras, this is a unique home which has been innovatively designed with a series of large glass windows to take in the views of the gardens from the sitting room and main bedroom. The property offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation that is balanced with a comfortable amount of reception rooms to bedrooms and bathrooms.
Entrance is gained through a reception hall with the rooms set off. The sitting room is charming, light floods the large window which in turn gives a lovely outlook over the gardens. Fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances the kitchen is the real hub of the house with a central Aga dividing the area to a dining room. This is the older part of the house and as such has some lovely features and a door leading to a pretty outside terraced area. There is a further family/sitting room with a staircase leading to a bedroom. Whilst this is very much part of the main accommodation, this useful arrangement lends itself to a more self-contained living area. A study, useful utility room and cloakroom complete the accommodation on this floor.
The main staircase leads to first floor level and to the four double bedrooms. The master suite enjoys views over the garden and has the benefit of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. A further family bathroom, with separate shower, serves the remaining two bedrooms. The guest bedroom, accessed from both the family room and the main first floor landing, offers the most useful and flexible living arrangements ideal for a teenager or au pair. There is an en suite shower room and built in wardrobe.

OUTSIDE

Greenside is accessed via a long driveway and nestled at the bottom of its plot, creating a real sense of privacy. The gardens are a particular feature to this lovely home, set predominantly to the front, providing a framework and views to the house bounded by partial walling and mature borders. There is a further patio and terraced area to the side of the house which is accessed from the kitchen. In addition, there is parking for several cars and a double garage.
