Further Information

Decsription
Set back from the road behind a classic walled and hedged entrance with formal lawn and private parking to the front, this outstanding semi-detached house occupies a particularly peaceful location for a property so close to town with a superb open outlook to the front over Pittville Park.

This much treasured family home is a classic villa, bestowing a Grade II listing with period details throughout, internally and externally, that are indicative of its era yet each floor has a unique style, ideal for modern family living. Spanning c3895 Sq Ft of accommodation, it is particularly grand with stunning proportions and well planned, practical accommodation arranged over three floors

The elegant reception hall, with ceiling roses, has a cantilevered stone staircase that rises all the way to the first floor and down to garden level. The house offers wonderful living space with a beautiful drawing room opening to a dining room by way of Parliament doors, with tall sash hung windows to the front and side, matching marble fireplaces with open chimneys, coving and a lovely oak floor. Behind the dining room is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, superbly fitted with an extensive range of cabinets with granite work surfaces over and a large granite topped island and ample space for a dining table. To the rear of the hallway is the study, a comfortable room with views over the garden and access by way of double doors opening to a raised balconette with the original Bath stone steps down to the grounds. At garden level, the owners have created a wonderful living space perfect for family life, more informal in style, it is currently arranged as a large family room with double doors opening to the side gardens with steps either side of the central fireplace leading to a large games room. To the front of this floor are two double bedrooms and to the rear, a utility room with a door to outside and adjacent, a shower room.

The principal bedrooms are on the first floor, all elegantly set out around a large landing. On mezzanine level is a wet room next to a bedroom and bedroom four which is currently used as a study. There is a further double bedroom and the master bedroom, which has two sash hung windows to the front and side elevation and a range of fitted wardrobes. Adjacent to this is a wonderfully spacious family bathroom with a walk in wet/shower room that serves all rooms on this first floor. Far reaching views to all aspects are a charming feature to each room.

Outside
Positioned well back from the road and deep into its plot, the gardens are a wonderful blend of formal lawns to the front and a generous, family space to the rear. Unusually for living so close to the centre of town, the grounds are generous with a large area of lawn flanking a sun terrace ideal for al fresco dining. Due to the nature of its setting, Saxham enjoys a wooded and open, green feel to the front, side and rear of the house as it is central to the two sides of Pittville Park, a stone’s throw from the boating lake at one aspect and the ornamental park, play area and Pump Rooms to the other.

Situation
Evesham Road is a much sought-after Pittville address, a leafy and long boulevard that runs from the town centre all the way to the Racecourse dividing renowned Pitville Park into two distinct areas, of which both, the property fully enjoys. Saxham is directly opposite the entrance to the park, which is widely known for its boating lake, Pump Rooms and pretty cafes and it is also within a very short stroll to a collection of smart local coffee shops and convenience stores. John Lewis department store and Cheltenham’s fashionable shopping districts Montpellier and Promenade can be reached by foot in less than 15 minutes. A cultural centre, Cheltenham plays host to several highly acclaimed festivals including Music, Food and Literature. The town is also known for its excellent schools to include The Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham College, Berkhampstead and Dean Close, all within a comfortable walk or bike ride. Communication links are excellent from this area, with easy access to the M5 Motorway and main line train station with lines to major cities
