Detached house for sale in Cheltenham GL52, 4 Bedroom

'A picture says a thousand words', is a quote derived from Fred R. Barnard in 1927. Today, the quote is so true of Hillside Cottage as the images that have been taken/produced of the property, have captured the house and location perfectly.

Having purchased the property in 2015 and undertaken an extensive programme of works, the owners have decided to market the property to seek a new life by the sea. Although they will not get to enjoy the fruits of their labour, the next owners will inherit a property that is stunning in its presentation, offers breath-taking panoramic views over The Malverns and Black Mountains, as well as affording the new owners, peace, tranquillity and complete privacy.

Approached off Stockwell Lane the driveway leads to double wooden gates that are electronically operated and into the property. From the moment you drive in, the mature gardens, which are full of colour and vibrancy grab your interest, then there is the house, located right of the driveway, elevated, standing tall and proud, central to the plot. Finally, to your left is a view that is simply out of this world and one that you will never become tired of.

Drawing yourself away from the view and once inside, there is a wonderful feel to the house; light and spacious, warm and welcoming, modern yet not overly contemporary, all working in perfect harmony. A front door leads into an open plan entrance which leads to the formal sitting room, which in turn is open plan to the dining area although a central stone fireplace with through log burner defines the two rooms perfectly. The oak flooring found in both rooms is also carried through into the Orangery.

The Orangery which is the latest addition to the house is a wonderfully square room, full of natural light not only because of the large glass roof structure but also because of the French doors found to the front elevation and the bi folding doors at the rear which brings the inside/outside together effortlessly. A large paved terrace is found directly behind the Orangery which is completely private. Steps lead from the terrace to the raised platform, where the hot tub is located and is the perfect setting to enjoy a glass of bubbles and enjoy the outlook this property has to offer.

Returning inside, the Kitchen/Breakfast room is modern and has every integrated appliance that one could wish for, from warming trays and an induction hob, to ovens, microwaves and an extractor fan that come out of the work surface. The large tiles and suspended lighting only add to the feel of the room as does the bi folding doors which once fully opened lead onto the terrace, perfect for breakfast and a morning coffee.

The final rooms to the ground floor include the utility room and the first of the four bedrooms, which has its own en suite shower room.

Moving upstairs, there are three further bedrooms, all of which are double rooms. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room and French doors onto a Juliet balcony whilst the guest bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and French doors that lead onto a private roof terrace. The final bedroom also enjoys the views and has fitted wardrobes

The family bathroom completes the upstairs and the finish is in keeping with the rest of the house; modern in its styling yet not over the top. The bathroom offers a four-piece suite which includes a walk in shower plus a raised free standing bath with the room being fully tiled.

Returning to the outside to the rear of the property is a lawned garden and although accessed by a few steps, once at the top, the garden is completely flat and is enclosed by a selection of mature trees. Another of the additions added to the property by the current owners includes a detached triple garage with store room over.

To the front, there is further landscaped gardens which include a stunning lower terrace, which allows views over the garden and pond below.

To summarise, Hillside Cottage is a stunning four-bedroom family home that delivers from the very first moment you arrive and will continue to impress until the moment you leave, and it is because of this, that to truly understand all this property offers, a viewing is a necessity.

We look forward to meeting with you.
