Set on a generous plot in a comfortable Abbeymead suburb, this five-bedroom detached home offers flexible living across multiple reception rooms, a study and three bathrooms. The ground floor includes a converted garage, sunroom and an office, while the first floor houses spacious bedrooms including a main bedroom with ensuite. An enclosed rear garden and off-street parking add practical family conveniences.
The house was built in the 1980s with double glazing added after 2002, mains gas heating and cavity-wall insulation. Services are strong here — excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — and the neighbourhood is very affluent with low crime, making it attractive to families seeking both comfort and connectivity.
There is genuine scope to modernise: bathrooms show 1990s fittings and some rooms would benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. Council tax is above average and the property is being offered freehold. Nearby schools include Abbeymead Primary (Outstanding) and other highly rated primaries, while secondary provision is mixed; Gloucester Academy has a lower Ofsted rating.
This is a practical family home in a well-regarded area with room to personalise. Buyers looking for a move-in-ready shell will value the layout and garden; those seeking a contemporary finish should budget for bathroom and cosmetic upgrades.
