Cheltenham, GL54 4DA

Description: Snowdrops is an impressive and beautifully presented village home, occupying a discreet position in the heart of Withington and enjoying a particularly special outlook across the surrounding Cotswold countryside. Set well back from the road behind a generous frontage, the house combines excellent family accommodation with light filled interiors, carefully considered improvements and an exceptional landscaped garden. The result is a highly individual home that feels both private and connected to its setting, with open fields beyond creating a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity. The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming reception hall, from which the principal ground floor rooms are accessed. The sitting room is an elegant and comfortable dual aspect space, centred around a working fireplace and with glazed doors opening directly onto the garden. At the heart of the house is the superb open plan kitchen and dining room. Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, the kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, while generous glazing and triple glazed bifold doors allow natural light to flood the room. When opened, these doors create a seamless connection with the terrace and garden beyond, making the space particularly appealing throughout the warmer months. A large and well-equipped utility room provides valuable additional storage and workspace, together with access to a substantial walk-in boot room and store. A personal door leads into the adjoining double garage, while a covered side passage offers practical access between the front and rear of the property. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor are five bedrooms, offering considerable flexibility for family living, guests and working from home. The principal bedroom includes a dedicated dressing area and a stylish en suite shower room. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. One bedroom is currently arranged as a home office with a bespoke workspace for two, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation. The house has been extensively improved and upgraded, with works including the refitting of the kitchen, utility room and bath and shower rooms, the installation of a new central heating system and a complete redesign of the gardens. The interiors are finished in a calm and contemporary style, allowing a purchaser to move in and enjoy the house immediately. Outside, the approach provides extensive driveway parking in addition to the double garage. The front garden is enclosed by a Cotswold stone wall and includes an area of lawn, established planting and gated access to the rear. The rear garden is a defining feature of the property. Beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully planted, it includes broad lawns, sweeping beds filled with mature shrubs and trees, a terrace adjoining the house and a further seating area positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching views. Backing directly onto open countryside, the garden offers an exceptional degree of privacy and a constantly changing rural backdrop. The double garage also provides further potential, with a detailed quotation available for its conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. Situation: Withington is a particularly attractive and unspoilt Cotswold village, surrounded by rolling countryside and occupying an excellent position between Cheltenham and Cirencester. The village lies within the Cotswolds National Landscape and is characterised by traditional stone houses, historic buildings and the gently meandering River Coln, which flows through the surrounding valley. Despite its peaceful rural setting, Withington remains a welcoming and active village community. At its heart is The Mill Inn, a traditional riverside public house, while the village is also home to the parish church of St Michael and All Angels and enjoys access to a network of footpaths and countryside walks. The village is approximately seven miles to the southeast of Cheltenham and eight miles to the north of Cirencester, placing it within easy reach of the extensive shopping, recreational and cultural amenities offered by both centres. Cheltenham is renowned for its festivals, restaurants, boutiques and excellent range of schools, while Cirencester provides an attractive market town environment with a broad selection of independent shops and everyday facilities. The surrounding area is well served by highly regarded state and independent schools, including schools in Cheltenham, Cirencester and the wider Cotswolds. Communications are also convenient, with the nearby road network providing access to the A40, the A417 and the M5, while mainline railway services are available from Cheltenham and Kemble.
