Old Bath Road, Cheltenham

Adelaide Cottage is a beautifully renovated and interior-designed period home offering stylish, light-filled accommodation in one of Leckhampton’ s most desirable residential locations. Carefully restored and thoughtfully reconfigured, the property combines the charm and character of its period origins with a refined contemporary finish.

The house extends to approximately 1,411 sq. ft., with an additional 244 sq. ft. of outbuildings, and provides an adaptable arrangement of accommodation suited to modern family life, entertaining and home working.

A welcoming entrance hall introduces a sequence of individual yet naturally connected reception spaces. The sitting room is an elegant and inviting room, centred around a wood-burning stove and enjoying a pleasant outlook towards the glazed internal courtyard.

Positioned at the heart of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an attractive range of cabinetry and provides space for informal dining. Crittall-style glazing and double doors allow an abundance of natural light into the room and create an excellent connection with the courtyard.

Beyond the kitchen is a charming snug, a wonderfully comfortable and atmospheric room with a second wood-burning stove and fixed glass overlooking the garden. The arrangement of the reception rooms allows each space to retain its own character while flowing particularly well for everyday living and entertaining.

A separate utility room provides further storage and practical access to the rear garden.
The ground floor also includes a generous double bedroom with bespoke fitted wardrobes. Positioned beside the contemporary shower room, this room provides excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a guest bedroom, study or additional reception room.

On the first floor are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from bespoke fitted wardrobes, together with a modern family bathroom.

Outside, Adelaide Cottage is set back from Old Bath Road behind a private driveway providing parking for two vehicles, together with an electric vehicle charging point.

The westerly facing rear garden is an unexpectedly generous and private space, arranged with a broad paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Established planting provides colour, greenery and maturity, while a number of useful stores offer practical space for bicycles, garden equipment and outdoor furniture.

At the end of the garden is an excellent detached home office with power, lighting and Wi-Fi connectivity. Currently used as a workspace, it would also make an ideal studio, gym, hobby room or peaceful retreat away from the main house.
