4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cheltenham Road, Gloucester GL2

What would it mean to find a home with room for the life you lead now, and the one you’re planning next?

Set back from Cheltenham Road, in the heart of sought after Longlevens, this thoughtfully extended 1930s home offers a compelling combination of character, connected living space and a south facing garden extending beyond 100ft. A generous frontage provides parking for up to six vehicles, while inside, four double bedrooms and a considered layout give everyone room to find their own space.

The tessellated tiled floor in the entrance hall provides a lovely introduction, bringing character and warmth from the moment you arrive. There is practical thinking here too, with a substantial understairs cupboard for coats, shoes and the things you need close to hand, alongside a modern fitted shower room.

At the front, the bay window gives the separate living room its classic appeal. It is somewhere to read, watch a film or enjoy a quieter evening, particularly useful when different generations want to do different things.

Across the back of the house, the atmosphere opens up. The kitchen, dining and family space brings everyday life together, with two large roof windows drawing in natural light and French doors opening onto the patio. You can picture breakfast before the school run, a conversation while dinner is cooking, or friends around the table with the doors open to the garden.

The seating area is offset from the kitchen and dining space, creating a comfortable place to relax while remaining part of what is happening around you. It feels connected, with enough definition for each area to work in its own right.

A separate utility room provides additional storage and worktop space, helping to keep laundry and household jobs away from the main living area. From here, a sliding pocket door reveals another generous room, currently used as a gym. For someone working from home, it could provide a dedicated place to concentrate, while others might see a playroom, a creative space or somewhere to enjoy a hobby.

The two storey side extension, completed in 2022, was planned with everyday practicality in mind. Double doors open onto the driveway, with the width considered to allow larger items to be moved through from the front to the rear with ease.

Outside, the garden gives this home another dimension. Facing south and stretching beyond 100ft, it offers space to enjoy at every stage of life. A large patio provides a natural setting for outdoor furniture, while the canopied barbecue and dining area makes gathering around the table an occasion in itself. Beyond, the extensive enclosed lawn leaves plenty of room for games, growing vegetables or simply enjoying the outlook. Doors from both the dining space and utility make the garden easy to use throughout the day.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms mean there is less compromise over who gets which room, with space for guests or changing needs over time. The principal bedroom and bedroom four face the front, both benefiting from built in wardrobes, while bedrooms two and three look out over the rear garden. The family bathroom also faces the front and features a fresh white suite with a shower over the bath.

For those already living locally, the appeal of Longlevens will be familiar. For anyone relocating, it offers an established community, well regarded local schools and convenient access to both Gloucester and Cheltenham. Longlevens Infant and Junior Schools, together with secondary schooling at Sir Thomas Rich’s, contribute to its appeal for families, while connections to the A40 and M5 help keep work and wider travel within reach.

Whether you are putting down your first roots, bringing a growing household together or looking for a home with room for visiting family, there is something lasting about the combination here, character, useful space and a generous garden, in a location that supports everyday life.
