Description - 81 Painswick Road is a beautiful detached red brick house that has undergone a thorough scheme of modernisation, refurbishment and redecoration by the current owners.

Found in wonderful decorative order, the house offers generous and comfortable living space that is arranged over three floors, with the lower ground floor currently arranged as a separate two bedroom apartment, although with the provision in place to reopen in to one large house very easily if desired, with the existing internal staircase in place.

The house features and retains many of the character features, including ornate ceiling cornicing and central ceiling roses, beautiful fireplaces, herringbone floors, skirting boards, architraves and doors, along with more modern features including high quality kitchens and bathrooms.

Outside are lovely large rear gardens that face West, laid mostly to lawn but with a large (33’ x 14’) garage/workshop at the far end accessed through a secondary vehicular gate at the side. At the front the house is beautifully screened by mature trees with parking for several cars on a generous gravelled driveway.

The main house is accessed via the steps up to the front door, with a wide central hallway giving access to the principal rooms and with the stairs ahead to the first floor, beyond which is a door to the garden. To the right is a beautiful drawing room with its bay window to the front, superb stone fireplace and fitted Woodwarm log burner. A wide opening leads into the study with views across the garden.

Across the hall is the sitting room with another feature fireplace, again with a log burner, with an opening into the dining room, itself opening into a fabulous fitted kitchen. The kitchen is a double aspect room with views across the garden, and a range of cupboard and drawer units under a stone worktop, and with a range of fitted appliances and stripped wooden floor.

Accessed from the dining room is an extension on the side of the house which comprises a fitted boot room with double doors to the garden, cloakroom and utility room.

On the first floor are four large bedrooms, all good-sized doubles, with the main bedroom featuring a large en suite shower room with generous walk-in shower and twin basin units. A family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms and this features another generous walk in shower as well as a freestanding bath.

The lower ground floor is currently arranged as a separate apartment, accessed through its private entrance door located at the rear of the house through the garden. There are two double bedrooms with a shower room providing facilities, and the larger of the two bedrooms with a wall of built in wardrobes. Across the hall is the sitting room with bay window, opening into the kitchen/breakfast room which is well fitted with a range of cupboard and drawer units, along with integrated appliances.

Situation - Painswick Road is a highly desirable residential tree lined avenue located to the south of the town centre with very little traffic and with wonderful access to The Bath Road, Montpelier, Tivoli, The Suffolks and the town centre. Number 81 is found on the West side of the road, just south of the Grafton Road junction, surrounded by large detached and semi-detached property of a similar nature.

Cheltenham stands renowned as one of England's most intact Regency towns and, historically, the original and most distinguished spa. Nestled less than a hundred miles from London, it gracefully rests between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley. The town boasts several prestigious schools, including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close and Pates Grammar, the latter recently topping the national GCSE schools league table.

Having earned its status as a highly coveted residential destination, with a Telegraph accolade as the number one place in the United Kingdom to raise a family in 2015, Cheltenham is celebrated for its opulent residences gracing formal avenues and exquisite garden squares.

For those with a penchant for the finer things, the town offers Michelin-starred restaurants, numerous bars, chic boutiques and abundant salons. Art and history enthusiasts find solace in The Wilson, Cheltenham's recently refurbished museum and art gallery while the town's cultural vibrancy is further enhanced by two concert halls and three theatres. Festivals abound, including The Wychwood Festival, literary, science, food and drink festivals and the revered jazz festival, drawing renowned performers like Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum and Jools Holland over the years.

The pinnacle of the year for many is the annual racing festival culminating in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, a prestigious event on the national hunt calendar. The allure of this spectacle perennially captivates the public, making Cheltenham a regular draw for visitors year after year.
