THE PROPERTY
Beautifully refurbished by the current owners, this elegant Edwardian four bedroom home in Leckhampton, has been thoughtfully enhanced to respect its architectural heritage while embracing the needs of modern family living. Every improvement has been carefully considered, preserving the craftsmanship and character of the original house while introducing bespoke finishes and contemporary design that sit effortlessly alongside its period features.

Original stripped timber floorboards, fireplaces and high ceilings provide an immediate reminder of the home’s heritage, while each room unfolds naturally towards the rear of the property, where the impressive open-plan kitchen becomes the true heart of the home. Here, natural light pours through the bi-fold doors, drawing the garden into the living space and creating a wonderful sense of openness that contrasts beautifully with the intimacy of the traditional reception rooms.

Handcrafted by Leckhampton Joinery, the striking 33 ft kitchen and dining room has been designed for modern family life and entertaining alike. Complete with bespoke cabinetry, an AGA induction range and generous dining and seating areas, it is a space that encourages people to gather, whether for everyday family meals or larger celebrations.

To the front of the house, the elegant sitting room is centred around a wood burning stove, creating a welcoming retreat during the winter months, while the second reception room retains its original fireplace and offers flexibility as a formal dining room, family room or home office. A cloakroom, concealed utility cupboard and useful side access add practicality without compromising the home’s character.

Arranged over four floors, the accommodation has been thoughtfully planned to suit every stage of family life. The principal bedroom enjoys extensive fitted wardrobes and an original fireplace, while two further bedrooms on the first floor are served by a beautifully renovated family bathroom with both a freestanding bath and separate shower. Occupying the top floor, the guest bedroom enjoys views towards Naunton Park and excellent built-in storage, with the potential to create an en-suite, subject to the necessary planning consent.

The lower ground floor provides a versatile additional living space, currently arranged as a private cinema room. Equally suited as a games room, home office or teenage retreat, it is complemented by a substantial storeroom and dedicated media cupboard.

THE GARDEN
Outside, the south-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a private and peaceful setting for relaxing and entertaining. Enclosed by attractive original red brick walls, it features a paved terrace, established planting and fragrant lavender, creating a wonderful extension of the living space.

Beyond the garden, a substantial detached garage with a Hörmann electric roller door sits alongside a private resin parking space, both conveniently accessed from Naunton Lane.
