Description:
1 Blackthorn End is a modern detached home offering stylish, versatile and well-planned accommodation in the heart of sought-after Leckhampton. The property has been thoughtfully extended and reconfigured from its original design to create a superb layout, blending generous living space with contemporary finishes, ideal for modern family life.
At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, a light-filled area that opens directly to the garden through wide glazed doors. This sociable room provides an exceptional setting for everyday living and entertaining alike, with ample room for cooking, dining and relaxing in one cohesive space. The ground floor also includes a welcoming sitting room, a separate study, and direct access into the integral double garage, offering both practicality and flexibility.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite facilities, as well as a family bathroom. The accommodation is presented in good decorative order throughout, with the benefit of a modern and adaptable design.
A particular feature of the property is the potential it offers for further enlargement, with two planning consents already in place: one above the garage to create a superior principal bedroom suite, and the other to extend the sitting room with a two-storey addition. These permissions provide incoming buyers with the rare opportunity to significantly enhance the property and tailor it to their own requirements, while still retaining the attractive proportions of the existing home.
Externally, the rear garden is private, low-maintenance and beautifully presented, incorporating a modern pergola and a sheltered entertaining terrace. The garden has been designed with ease of use in mind, offering an inviting space for outdoor dining and relaxation without the need for extensive upkeep.
Situation:
1 Blackthorn End enjoys an enviable position in the heart of Leckhampton, one of Cheltenham’s most popular and established residential areas. This is a location that blends the convenience of town living with the sense of community and green space that families so often seek.
The property lies just a short distance from the newly opened High School Leckhampton, which has already established a strong reputation as one of the most sought-after schools in the region. For families, the ability to walk to school is a rare and significant benefit, offering both practicality and peace of mind. The area is also well served by a range of primary schools and nurseries, together with access to Cheltenham’s highly regarded independent sector, including Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Dean Close and Cheltenham College.
Beyond education, Leckhampton offers a wealth of local amenities, with the vibrant Bath Road lined with independent shops, cafés, pubs and services. Popular public houses such as The Retreat and The Exmouth Arms, together with excellent restaurants, give the area a lively social scene. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Leckhampton Hill and the surrounding Cotswold countryside provide extensive walking and cycling routes, while Cheltenham’s famous parks and cultural festivals are within easy reach.
Cheltenham town centre is less than two miles away, providing a wide range of shopping, leisure and cultural attractions, while the mainline station offers direct trains to London and other major cities. With its blend of schooling, amenities and accessibility, the location of 1 Blackthorn End is a key strength of the property.
