Tucked into the heart of Charlton Kings, this Victorian semi delivers genuine village convenience and character. The two-bedroom layout feels bright and practical, with a bay-front sitting room, kitchen-diner and a long established rear garden that extends the living space outdoors. A separate, powered garden office/gym provides valuable flexible space for working from home or hobbies.
The property is offered with approved planning permission (ref: 22/02257/FUL) to add a rear extension for a third bedroom and enlarged reception — a clear route to increase living space and value. Practical benefits include off-street parking, side access, triple glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband, making the house ready for modern family life.
There are some honest renovation needs: external finishes show age and internal updating will be required to reach top market value. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated and the footprint is modest, so buyers should budget for insulation or further energy improvements. Despite those works, the combination of location, garden and approved plans creates strong potential for a comfortable family home or a value-led refurbishment.
For families the house benefits from local amenities and priority catchment for Balcarras School. It’s freehold, council tax is affordable and there’s no onward chain, which can help a swift move. Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a period property with scope to extend and personalise in a sought‑after Cheltenham neighbourhood.
