Easton HouseThis elegant six bedroom semi-detached Victorian villa, which was built in 1867, is located on a tree lined road within a few minutes’ walk from both the centre of Cheltenham and the racecourse. The property has off street parking to the front, while to the rear there is a substantial garden and a large double garage with the potential for conversion to an annexe.

“We bought Easton House 28 years ago from a couple with five children who had lived here for 20 years,” remembers Richard. “It’s been a wonderful family home for us as well, albeit with only two children, being ideally located for all the amenities that Cheltenham has to offer from shops to schools, theatres, cinemas, museums, restaurants, and the racecourse, as well as all the events and festivals.”

“Over the years we’ve updated, improved and decorated the property and added the double garage, which we deliberately had built to a very high specification in anticipation of the need to convert it into a self contained annexe,” explains Christine. “That need didn’t materialise but the potential is still there; for us, the flexible accommodation of the house provided all we needed. On the second floor, alongside two of the bedrooms, we were able to create a playroom, den or workroom together with a shower room so the girls had their own space as they grew older. We ensured the breakfast kitchen was child friendly too. It’s located on at the front of the house, where a large window catches the morning sun glinting through the oak tree opposite; beyond the trees and rooftops you can see Cleeve Hill.”

“The lounge overlooks the rear garden and benefits from the afternoon and evening sun,” continues Richard. “The sun hits the far end of the garden first thing in the morning and moves up to the large patio by the house from noon through to sunset. The garden attracts a wide variety of birds including blue tits, which are currently nesting in the box on the garage. As we’re close to the large lakes of Pitville Park, our two ponds occasionally attract a heron but thankfully we’ve not lost any of our fish! It’s nice to sit quietly out on the patio, sipping coffee or wine, listening to the gentle sound of the ponds’ waterfall and watching the hovering dragonflies. It’s wonderful to have such a large garden in the middle of a town.”

“Together the house and garden provide ideal space for entertaining,” adds Christine. “Whether it’s a quiet dinner for four or a large Christmas dinner, a christening celebration or a birthday party – we’ve done them all and enjoyed every minute. Outside we’ve had everything from barbecues to bouncy castles and treasure hunts.”

“We will have very fond memories of bringing up our family in this beautiful house, which we feel still has bags of potential left for the next family to put their own stamp on it, and hopefully enjoy it as much as we have,” conclude Richard and Christine. *
