Detached house for sale in Queens Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL50

An exceptional detached villa of impressive proportions, style, and character, offering unique flexibility and an ideal layout for multigenerational living or generating supplementary income. The house, a cherished family home, is in superb condition throughout its four floors of well-proportioned living and bedroom space. It's rare to find such an architecturally significant detached property in town, featuring a large private plot, parking, and garaging. Despite its period charm, the property is unlisted, allowing for easier modifications.

Stone steps lead to the ornate stone entrance porch and panelled door, opening into the reception hall with a fine cantilevered staircase. The house boasts symmetry with tall sash windows, high ceilings, and a bright, airy atmosphere. Off the reception hall is a front drawing room with a classic bay window and stone fireplace. Opposite, the dining room, also with a bay window and fireplace, connects to the kitchen via an ornate archway. The kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with cream storage units, a Belfast sink, and a cream Rangemaster cooker, is an ideal entertaining space, with views of the gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is a self-contained annex, perfect for a live-in au pair or dependent relative, consisting of a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms.

The first-floor landing is spacious, with a modern family bathroom and separate shower room on the mezzanine level, serving one bedroom. The remaining three bedrooms each have en suites.

The second floor features two large front bedrooms with en suite shower rooms, an additional bedroom opposite a beautiful bathroom suite, and a large laundry room ideal for linen, ironing, and storage.

A short staircase from the reception hall leads to a lower floor of living space that can serve as an independent flat or part of the main house. This entertaining area includes a bar, cinema room, gym, wine storage area, and cellar storage with independent access.

Notably, planning was previously granted for a four-story extension and conversion into apartments, though it has expired (reference number 99/50471/cac).

Sitting in a convenient location off the Queens Road, the house is within close proximity to Montpellier, the town centre and the Railway station.

This area is considered to be one of Cheltenham's most attractive and well regarded locations, made up of some impressive period buildings and the beautiful Christ Church. Cheltenham Spa is renowned for numerous attractions such as the Literature Festival, Jazz Festival and Cheltenham National Hunt along with its fine architecture, famous gardens, an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and boutiques and world renowned schools to include Cheltenham Ladies' College and Dean Close.
