3 bed detached house for sale

Strickland Road, Cheltenham GL52

An impressive and significantly extended detached bungalow, offering approximately 1,071 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors following a substantial loft conversion. The property currently provides three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous lounge/dining room and private rear garden, with the added potential to create a fourth bedroom if required.

A useful entrance porch opens into the central hallway, from which the ground-floor accommodation is accessed. The fitted kitchen provides a good range of wall and base units with ample worktop space and integrated cooking appliances, together with plenty of natural light.

To the rear is the generous lounge/dining room, providing plenty of space for both seating and dining furniture. Large sliding doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a natural connection between the living accommodation and outside space.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, both of which are good-sized rooms and provide considerable flexibility. Depending on individual requirements, one could equally be used as a study, home office or guest room. The ground-floor accommodation is completed by the family bathroom.

One of the property's standout features is the substantial loft conversion, which has created an excellent principal bedroom suite occupying the first floor. Measuring approximately 19'8" x 13'8" at its maximum points, this is an unusually spacious room with ample space for wardrobes and additional furniture, together with room for a dressing or study area. The principal bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

Importantly, due to the size and layout of the principal bedroom, there is also the potential to divide the room to create two separate bedrooms with relatively minimal alteration, subject to any necessary planning permission, Building Regulations or other consents. This could potentially transform the property into a four-bedroom home, providing further flexibility for a growing family or anyone requiring additional bedroom or home-working space.

Outside, the property benefits from a private enclosed rear garden, mainly laid to lawn with established planting and a patio seating area immediately adjoining the house. It provides a pleasant and manageable outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining or family use.

The property is well positioned for access to Cheltenham town centre, with its extensive range of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and cultural amenities, together with the town's renowned festivals and racecourse. A variety of supermarkets, retail parks and everyday amenities are also within easy reach.

Cheltenham offers an excellent choice of schooling, including primary and secondary schools as well as the town's highly regarded grammar and independent schools. There are also numerous parks, recreational facilities and green spaces nearby, while the surrounding Cotswold countryside is readily accessible.

For commuters, Cheltenham Spa railway station provides services to Birmingham, Bristol, London and beyond, while the A40 and M5 offer convenient road connections throughout the region.

A deceptive and highly versatile property that offers considerably more accommodation than its traditional bungalow appearance initially suggests. The substantial loft conversion, superb principal bedroom with en-suite and potential to create an additional bedroom, two further ground-floor bedrooms, generous lounge/dining room and private rear garden combine to create a flexible home that can adapt to changing needs. With the potential to provide four bedrooms if required, viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space and possibilities on offer.
