Oakland Avenue, Cheltenham, GL52
Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in sought-after Cheltenham, ‘Marple Villa’ is a beautifully extended Victorian family home combining elegant period character with thoughtfully integrated modern living.
Just a 10–15 minute walk from the open green spaces of Pittville Park and approximately 20 minutes on foot to John Lewis in the town centre, the property enjoys a highly convenient yet notably quiet, family friendly residential setting.
Internally, the home retains original Victorian features, carefully preserved and enhanced over time to create a balanced blend of heritage charm and contemporary practicality. The generous and flexible living layout provides excellent versatility for modern family life, while also offering scope for future adaptation if desired. Extended and reconfigured, the accommodation already offers a potential, self-contained annexe that is perfect for multi-generational living or generating further income.
The rear of the property opens onto a large south-westerly facing garden, a particularly attractive feature. Private and not overlooked due to the home’s favourable position, it would comfortably accommodate further extension and enjoys late evening sun in the summer evenings, making it ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining and family use.
Further benefits include a two-car driveway, rare for this style of home so close to central Cheltenham, and the welcoming feel of an established residential community where many neighbours have lived for years. Families are especially well served by the location, with two highly regarded primary schools within walking distance and excellent local amenities nearby, including the new medical centre on Prestbury Road. The cultural, retail and dining attractions of Cheltenham’s Regency centre are also easily accessible.
Combining period elegance, flexible family living, a private south-westerly garden and a prime town-edge location, ‘Marple Villa’ represents a distinctive and highly desirable Cheltenham home.
