Number 166 is a detached property which has been a much-treasured family home for many years and as such, would now benefit from cosmetic enhancements. It is rare in this leafy suburb of Cheltenham, to find a detached property in such an enviable position and with the substantial plot in which the house sits. Today's house is full of the original charm and character with a layout that typifies its 1930's era. Despite needing cosmetic work, it has a lovely feel throughout and offers a chance for a redesign and extension of the current accommodation which stands at 2022 Sq. Ft. (STP).
Set back from road, there is a large open drive way to the front, and access to the house is through an entrance porch which leads to an impressive hallway. From here the receptions rooms and kitchen are accessed. The bay fronted dining room is situated at the front house with the sitting and kitchen/breakfast room to the rear. The kitchen/breakfast room extends through to a garden room and from here you can also access the sitting room. Large patio doors from the sitting room open on to the garden. A shower room completes the accommodation on this floor.
There is a lovely flow of space throughout the house and on the first floor, are four good size double bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
Outside:
The house sits well back from the road and is fronted by a large open driveway. The driveway leads down the left hand side to the garage which has been extended to allow an extremely useful office space that is separately accessed from the garden.
The rear garden is a particular feature, both mature and private, the extensive garden would allow for an extension to the main house (STP).
Situation:
Old Bath Road is a lovely address and an area that is without doubt one of the most desirable and highly sought after pockets of Cheltenham. The appeal of the location is its proximity to the thriving Bath Road and the village of Charlton Kings yet the property sits at the foot of Leckhampton Hill, with access to some of the very best countryside. Within a short stroll is Cheltenham's fashionable shops, Michelin starred restaurants, salons and bars. Less than a hundred miles from London, Cheltenham nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley and is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, The Cheltenham Ladies' College, and St Edwards. Owing to this and the cultural lifestyle on offer, including playing hosts to several highly acclaimed festivals, it is now regarded as one of the places to live and raise a family. For the commuter, this area is particularly well placed for both motorway access and the train station which can be reached, by foot, in less than 15 minutes.
