The Willows, Gravel Walk

A refurbished and extended detached family home offering flexible bedroom and living space, nestled in a mature plot in the heart of this charming village close to Prestbury, Cleeve Hill and Cheltenham.

The Willows is a contemporary detached home surrounded by its own private and mature plot on a discreet lane in the sought after village of Southam. The current owners have taken the original structure and significantly extended, remodelled and renovated the interiors to create a luxurious feel with all modern commodities added for extra comfort. The result of which is the most beautiful, light filled home that would suit all genres with its flexible and modern living arrangement.

Extending to over 2200 Sq Ft, the accommodation is well planned with a layout that is traditional of its chalet style offering bedroom and living space over two floors, allowing for the rooms to be used as required including a bedroom, and a further bedroom opportunity, on the ground floor.

Entrance is via a wide hallway, which introduces the reception rooms on this floor. To the front of the house is a home office and adjacent, bedroom four, which could be a further reception room if so desired with a separate snug behind. As the hallway unfolds there is a boot room, cloakroom and an entrance into the principal reception rooms. As with any of the best family homes, this is arguably the most impressive part of the house with fully glazed bi fold doors that open out to the decked terrace and garden at the side. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of modern units and integrated appliances with a breakfast island separating the space to a dining and sitting area under ceiling lanterns within a vaulted roof, which adds volume and floods this room with natural light. Pocket doors open to the more formal sitting room, extending the space for socialising and family life. There is a useful utility off the kitchen which also gives access directly to outside, making it an ideal secondary access point for shopping and pets.

The principal bedrooms are set out on the first floor. The master bedroom is a large and light room with a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms that share a luxury bathroom.

Within a stroll of the property is the beautiful Ellenborough Park with its glorious grounds, restaurants and Spa which is positioned at the entrance to the village and makes a wonderful local place to eat.
