4 bed detached house for sale

Lyefield Road East, Cheltenham GL53

A truly exceptional contemporary family home, discreetly positioned behind private gates in the heart of Charlton Kings. Completed in 2016 and extending to approximately 2,488 sq ft (231 sq m), excluding the substantial double garage, this distinctive property combines generous proportions, sophisticated design and a high specification with an unusually private setting and far-reaching views towards Ravensgate Common and Leckhampton Hill.

From the moment of arrival, the house feels considered and individual. A gated private drive leads to extensive off-street parking, while the secluded house and enclosed garden sit quietly alongside St Mary’s Church, creating a rare sense of privacy despite the central village location.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family living space, centred around a beautifully appointed kitchen with an extensive range of integrated neff appliances. Full-height glazing, five automated Velux rooflights and the property's southerly/evening aspect bring an exceptional quality of natural light, while a separate TV snug provides a more intimate space for quieter moments.

The ground floor also offers three individually designed double bedrooms, each with its own en suite and mezzanine level – an unusually flexible arrangement ideal for children, teenagers, guests or multigenerational living. A generous utility room, boot room, cloakroom and extensive storage further enhance the practical credentials.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a particularly impressive retreat, incorporating a large bedroom, en suite bathroom/shower room, dedicated dressing area and walk-in wardrobe.

The specification is equally compelling, including underfloor heating with individual room controls, polished concrete flooring, a Vaillant ecoTEC plus boiler, unvented hot water system, 16 photovoltaic panels with Solis inverter, comprehensive Byron security and fire alarm system, automated Velux rooflights and a built-in Bose sound system to the principal living space.

Outside, the privately enclosed garden incorporates a covered outdoor entertaining area positioned to capture the evening sun, together with a professionally fitted external dog shower with hot water.

The accommodation is complemented by a large double garage with mains electricity and a substantial room above, providing excellent potential for a home office, studio, gym or additional ancillary space. There is also significant scope to add further value, with existing concrete footings and a door lintel to the southern elevation having been installed to facilitate a potential office extension. Outline ideas have also been considered for conversion of the double garage into a self-contained unit; both opportunities would be subject to the necessary planning consents, with no approach having yet been made to Cheltenham Borough Council
