\rDescription
A home of elegance and balance superbly located on the corner of Eldon Road and Hewlett Road, a leafy and lovely pocket of Cheltenham, just a ten-minute walk from the centre. The property is a wonderful blend of late Victorian grandeur with a modern day finish and the current owners have taken great care to retain the very special original features, whilst making Ivydene the most beautiful and inviting home through their careful restoration and planning of the accommodation.

Spanning 4395 Sq Ft of accommodation, houses of this size are rare, affording wonderful living and bedroom space that has been cleverly designed to offer a mix of formal and informal areas. Whilst an undeniably spacious home, the interior planning of the layout has resulted in a classic family home with a three-bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor which is separately accessed. It provides an excellent business opportunity, particularly as an Air B&B as the current owners have successfully run it for many years, and is also ideal for those looking for an independent space for a live in relative or au pair. The original staircase connecting the two floors is still in situ and as such, offers overflow space to the main house and access to the large laundry room.


The primary entrance on the ground floor is through the original vestibule and private door with its stain glass window and classic tiling, this opens to a beautiful reception hall, also with the original Victorian tiles, which is central to the accommodation on this level. This part of the floor has been designed to showcase beautiful reception rooms kept in traditional style with a room for every family need. The formal drawing room is positioned to the side, with elegant high ceilings, a log burning fire in addition to a bay window with window seat. Adjacent is a snug with French doors opening to an outside terrace, this would also make an excellent playroom or study. To the other side of the hallway, the reception space has been carefully considered to be separate rooms yet each one interlinking, creating a wonderful area that is as much for family life as it is for entertaining. The informal sitting room, with a lovely fireplace, has French doors opening to the decked terrace and gardens. From here, sliding doors open to the dining room which in turn introduces the kitchen. This is undeniably the hub of the house, with an excellent range of modern units, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. A cloakroom and utility room complete the accommodation on this floor.

Of worthy note, there is a large laundry room on the lower ground floor.

The distinct period staircase rises to the five bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom suite is lovely, with a walk in wardrobe and luxury en suite bathroom. There is a guest bedroom with en suite, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a cot room that is used as a study.
