5 bed detached house for sale

Battledown Approach, Cheltenham GL52

Believed to date from the early 1900s, Heathbank is an attractive and substantial detached family home, set well back from this highly sought-after road and offering exceptional scope for modernisation and enhancement.

Description

A wide and welcoming reception hall provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation, comprising a drawing room, a sitting/dining room overlooking the rear garden, and a kitchen with direct garden access. Additional features include a cloakroom and useful under-stairs storage. The original staircase rises to the first floor, where five bedrooms are arranged, three of which are generous doubles, complemented by two well-proportioned single rooms. The floor is currently served by a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom.

To the rear, the property enjoys a manageable and private garden, offering ample space for extension. It is mainly laid to lawn with a patio seating area, established shrubs and a large garden shed, which will remain with the property. To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for two to three vehicles, alongside a front garden that could be adapted to create additional parking if required.

Holy Apostles Primary School lies within approximately 200 yards, while the highly regarded Berkhamsted School is within a comfortable 15-minute walk.
