Orchard Avenue, Cheltenham

A Spacious And Versatile Two-Bedroom Ground-Floor Maisonette With Generous Mature Garden, Hot Tub And Parking For Three Cars
This attractive two-bedroom ground-floor garden maisonette occupies an established residential position on the north-western side of Cheltenham, within easy reach of retail parks and the town centre. The property offers a flexible layout, with one of the bedrooms currently being used as an additional living room, allowing buyers to adapt the accommodation to suit their individual needs.
However, the real highlight is the exceptionally generous and beautifully established rear garden, featuring mature planting, several seating areas, a hot tub which will remain with the property, three useful sheds/outbuildings and an awning over the patio. Further benefits include gated side access and off-road parking for up to three vehicles at the front.
This combination of versatile accommodation, extensive outside space and practical parking makes the property particularly appealing to first-time buyers, downsizers and those looking for a home with a garden that offers something a little different.
Accessed via a side entrance porch, the property opens into a welcoming hallway providing access to the main accommodation. The entrance porch also benefits from a useful storage cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler. The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the property and features a range of fitted wall and base units, providing practical storage alongside work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A stainless steel sink and drainer, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a rear-facing window complete this functional space.
One of the most appealing aspects of the property is the flexibility of the living accommodation. The main sitting/dining room is positioned to the rear and benefits from sliding patio doors opening directly onto the garden. This creates a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, with the garden providing an attractive outlook and a natural extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months. Depending on how buyers choose to arrange the property, this room could serve as a comfortable sitting room, a dedicated dining room or a combination of both.
The property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, although one is currently arranged as an additional living room, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation. The current bedroom is positioned towards the front of the property and offers built in furniture, with a front-facing window providing natural light. The second larger bedroom is also positioned towards the front and is currently used as a separate sitting room, creating an additional reception space away from the main garden-facing living area. This arrangement would work particularly well for buyers seeking a one-bedroom home with two reception rooms, while those requiring two bedrooms can easily utilise the accommodation in its original configuration.
Completing the internal accommodation is the bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. A side-facing window provides natural light and ventilation.
A Standout Feature Of The Property
The substantial, mature rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions, offering an impressive amount of outside space that is rarely associated with a ground-floor maisonette. Beautifully established over time, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs, flowers and planted borders, creating a colourful and attractive setting with plenty of character. A sweeping pathway leads through the garden, connecting different areas and providing a pleasant sense of space and privacy.
Immediately outside the main living accommodation is a patio seating area, ideally positioned to enjoy the garden and accessed directly through the sliding doors. An awning above the patio provides useful shelter and shade, making this an excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while overlooking the garden.
A particularly exciting feature is the hot tub, which is included in the sale, creating a fantastic opportunity for buyers to enjoy their own outdoor relaxation area without the additional expense of purchasing one.
The garden also benefits from three separate sheds/outbuildings, offering excellent flexibility for a range of uses.
Whether required for garden equipment, additional storage, hobbies, a workshop or other practical purposes, these buildings provide valuable space beyond the main accommodation. Buyers wishing to explore alternative uses can assess their suitability and any necessary permissions. A further benefit is the gated side access, allowing convenient access to the garden without needing to pass through the property.
To the front, the property benefits from off-road parking for up to three vehicles, a particularly useful feature for buyers with multiple cars or those regularly welcoming visitors. The combination of generous parking, side access and substantial private garden space adds considerably to the practicality and appeal of this home.
The property is situated on the north-western side of Cheltenham, within easy reach of Swindon Village, an established residential area offering a selection of local amenities and everyday conveniences. Cheltenham town centre is also readily accessible, providing a wider range of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, including the popular Brewery Quarter, High Street and Promenade.
The location offers convenient access to surrounding road networks, making it practical for those travelling towards Gloucester, Tewkesbury and the M5 motorway. Nearby green spaces and local facilities further enhance the appeal for buyers seeking a quieter residential setting while remaining within convenient reach of the town.
