Description

Byways is a wonderful detached house with Arts & Crafts influences, found in superb gardens located in the private and highly desirable Sandy Lane Road in Charlton Kings. Requiring some upgrading and modernising, the house offers generous accommodation on two floors, including a ground floor bedroom with en suite wet room, which could also be used as an additional reception room if preferred.

Accessed at the front from Sandy Lane Road, the property benefits from extensive tarmac parking for a number of vehicles with a tandem double garage in addition. A major feature of the house is its outstanding garden, the rear facing due South thus enjoying sun for most of the day. There are lawns and mature plant and shrub borders with a variety of attractive trees.

Internally, the house offers four bedrooms on the first floor including one which has been used as a study. The main bedroom is a very good size and features an en suite bathroom; a family bathroom serves the remaining three first floor bedrooms. Subject to any necessary consents, there is a large attic space which could offer potential as further living accommodation.

From the front door, the hallway provides access to the principal ground floor rooms, starting with the ground floor bedroom suite (4) with built in wardrobes and wet room, a lovely sitting room with wide bay window and fireplace, opening in to a conservatory, a superb dining room with another fireplace and part panelling, a generous kitchen, office and cloakroom.

Beyond the kitchen is a very spacious utility room with a further door to the front and further door in to the tandem double garage.

Location

Sandy Lane Road is widely considered to be one of Cheltenham’s most exclusive residential addresses; a private road located in the popular district of Charlton Kings, approximately one mile to the south east of the town centre. Byways is situated away from busier Sandy Lane, with the rear of the house and its garden facing due South.

Cheltenham is famed as one of the most complete Regency towns in England and historically the original and most fashionable spa.

Less than a hundred miles from London it nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley, and is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close and Pates Grammar.

Now a highly sought after place to live the town is well known for its grand houses set amongst formal avenues and beautiful garden squares.

For those with a taste for the finer things in life, there are Michelin starred restaurants, numerous bars, stylish shops and salons aplenty. For art and history lovers there is The Wilson, Cheltenham’s newly refurbished museum and art gallery, whilst Cheltenham also has a thriving cultural scene that includes two concert halls and three theatres. There are the numerous festivals such as The Wychwood Festival, the festivals of literature, science, food and drink and, perhaps the pinnacle for some, the jazz festival, which has historically attracted such known performers as Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum and Jools Holland.

Undoubtedly for many more, the highlight of the year is the annual racing festival culminating with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the blue riband event of the national hunt calendar, and an attraction that draws the public to the town year after year.
