Elmhurst - A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial Edwardian home on Gretton Road in Winchcombe. Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, the property presents an exciting opportunity to renovate and create a truly special long-term family home.
The house sits back from the road on a generous and enviable plot, extending to approximately 300ft from front to back. It offers ample frontage for parking along with an extensive rear garden enjoying views towards the surrounding hills. Having been extended over the years, the property now provides a versatile and spacious layout with plenty of potential to reconfigure or enhance further. Character features run throughout the home, including original fireplaces, attractive original terracotta finials, adding to its character and charm.
Access is via an attractive front porch or a convenient side entrance leading directly into the kitchen. Internally, there is a wealth of reception space. To the front, a separate living room features a fireplace and large windows, creating a bright yet cosy retreat. Opposite, the formal dining room flows through to a rear extension, providing an additional living area overlooking the garden, with sliding patio doors opening onto the outside space.
The kitchen diner is positioned to the rear and offers excellent scope for modernisation, with a utility room located just off it with a downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles, all served by a family bathroom and a separate WC. The property also benefits from being mostly double glazed throughout.
Immediately to the rear of the property is a patio area with steps down to the garden. This leads onto a lawned garden bordered by mature planting. To the far end, there is a natural wildflower area, creating a more relaxed and established feel. The garden is well stocked with a variety of trees, including a mature ash, cherry, and hazel, along with additional planting which also means the plot is home for plenty of nature.
The generous garden provides plenty of space to enjoy and further potential for landscaping, making the most of the far-reaching views and the peaceful setting.
