18, Bournside Road

A prime and rare opportunity to acquire a detached home for sale on the sought after Bournside Road in need of modernising.

DESCRIPTION
Houses in this location are highly sought after and Number 18 is one of the original, and rarely found, detached properties that remains in an untouched condition. Bournside Road is a highly sought after address and many of the properties on this leafy boulevard have been the subject of contemporary restorations which have endorsed its popularity as an exclusive pocket of Cheltenham. Having been built in 1950’s, this charming home is one of the few double detached properties that offer the scope and plot, an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to transform a traditional home into a modern masterpiece. Subject to the necessary planning, this lateral space could be extended and/or refurbished to to enhance its already practical floorplan that currently extends to over 1420 sq ft.

Today’s home spans two floors providing a dining room and sitting room in symmetry, both with bay windows and across the rear of the house is the kitchen with direct access to, and views over, the garden. On the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are double, all of which share a bathroom and a separate cloakroom.


Outside
The gardens are a unique benefit of the house, providing a wonderful, mature outside space that offers the potential to accommodate any extension to the house without comprising the size (STP). To the front of the house is parking and access to the garage.


SITUATION
The charm of the property is certainly due in part to its setting, sited on one of Cheltenham’s most sought after roads close to The Park, undeniably one of the town’s most fashionable and desirable residential areas. Bournside Road is a wide avenue made up of high quality, individual homes and is within strolling distance to the quaint independent shops, cafes and delis that Tivoli is so well reputed for. A little further is Montpellier and Promenade, Cheltenham’s famous shopping district and within the heart of the lovely café and festival culture for which the town is so well regarded. Schools within the locality are exceptional and include world renowned boarding schools, The Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham college and Dean Close, the latter can be reached by foot in less than minutes, in addition to the local Secondary school Bournside, just a five minutes’ stroll from the house, and various well reputed primary schools, including St James. Whilst distinctively town living, this area is a quiet pocket and is well known for its close proximity to some beautiful parks with Hatherley Park on the doorstep. Motorway links are highly accessible to the M5, A40 and A435 and Cheltenham Spa train station is within walking distance, about 15 minutes.
