DESCRIPTION
69 Prestbury Road is a charming period Grade II listed townhouse forming part of an attractive street for which Cheltenham is so well-regarded. It has a lovely feeling of light and space, enhanced by high ceilings and tall sash windows throughout and with the, practicalities of life in mind, the interior planning has been carefully considered to use every inch of the space. The house is arranged over three floors, with the lower ground floor a separately accessed apartment comprising one bedroom, a bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. Should a prospective owner wish, this could generate a supplementary income or provide overflow accommodation to the main house.
Entrance is via a few steps into the reception hallway with wooden floorboards and a cantilevered staircase. The spacious drawing room is set to the front of the house, overlooking the attractive street scene with double doors opening to the formal dining room. Both rooms are wonderfully bright with feature fireplaces and sash windows. The kitchen is set to the rear, in a slightly elevated position. Fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, it has been opened up by way of an orangery and is the ideal space for a dining table or sofas with steps down to the terrace and garden.
The first-floor bedrooms are arranged around a landing with a separate cloakroom on the first mezzanine level and a lovely bathroom with clawfoot bath and paneling. The two main bedrooms have feature fireplaces with fitted wardrobes to either side and bedroom three makes an ideal nursery or study.
In all, a lovely townhouse of great architectural merit, presented in smart order and an ideal position for town living.
OUTSIDE
The garden to the rear is extremely pretty, with the original brick walling to all aspects edged with shrub and tree borders. There is a patio terrace accessed from the kitchen and from the apartment, ideal for al fresco dining.
