A generously proportioned 5 bedroom character villa with outstanding garden, parking and garage/store.

Description

34 Hales Road is a superb semi-detached period house dating from around 1870 offering three floors of generous living space and an outstanding rear garden.

The accommodation is well presented throughout with a number of period features including picture rails, coving and handsome original fireplaces. These are complemented by a modern décor scheme and a number of more substantial improvements including a kitchen extension to the rear (2016) and a basement conversion (2021). Large windows throughout afford excellent natural light.

Access to the property is via the side leading to an entrance hallway which has doors to a study, sitting room with bay window, separate dining room, cloakroom, internal access to the garage/store, lower ground floor and the open plan kitchen/garden room. The latter serves as the heart of the home and has bifold doors opening to the garden.

On the first floor there are four generous double bedrooms and a family bath/shower room. There is a large fifth bedroom on the lower ground floor with an en-suite bath/shower room which would also serve well as additional reception or office space if desired.

Set in an attractive plot within the town's Central Conservation Area, with a collection of mature trees and hedges providing a good degree of privacy, the house has a low maintenance paved front garden and a tarmac driveway with off-street parking for two vehicles. The driveway leads to an attached garage/store also extended (2016).

To the rear there is a good size partly walled garden well stocked with a variety of shrubs, flowers and tall trees which offer year-round interest. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn with flower beds, a vegetable patch to the rear, a greenhouse and shed and a paved patio adjoins the kitchen/garden room

Location

Hales Road is a well-located road situated to the east of the town centre within close proximity of many amenities within a level walk and also to the outskirts of town with a wealth of opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

Cheltenham is famed as one of the most complete Regency towns in England and historically the original and most fashionable spa towns. Now a highly desirable place to live the town is well known for its grand houses set amongst formal avenues and beautiful garden squares.

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

For those with a taste for the finer things in life there are Michelin-starred restaurants, popular bars, stylish shops and salons aplenty. For art and history lovers there is The Wilson, Cheltenham’s refurbished museum and art gallery, whilst the town 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 famous Cheltenham 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.

The highlight of the year is the annual racing festival culminating with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the most prestigious event of the National Hunt calendar, and an attraction that draws the public to the town year after year.
