2 bedroom bungalow

An individual 1950’s detached bungalow requiring modernisation with scope to extend and redevelop, situated on the outskirts of Swindon Village backing onto open countryside

Glenavon is a detached bungalow built in the 1950’s with rendered elevations under a tiled hipped roof. In a delightful location towards the end of Stantons Drive, nestled in a private plot screened by an established hedge with a gated drive. The property does require an extensive modernisation programme and the generous plot (c.106’/32m x 55’/17m) allows for extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. A fairly level plot which stands above the adjoining countryside at the rear, providing a wonderful vantage point. While the surrounding land is ear-marked for residential development, the masterplan for Elms Park illustrates the immediate land behind Glenavon for green space (masterplan available on request). The accommodation includes a hall, sitting room, kitchen, two enclosed porches, two bedrooms, a bathroom and WC. A detached garage alongside incorporates two storerooms at the rear. Access either side of the property to a 55’/17m x 41’/12.5m south facing garden enclosed by mature hedging, backing onto fields. Freehold.

At the end of Stantons Drive, just 100m from a public footpath leading directly onto countryside. In addition, there are playing fields also used by dog walkers and a community hall at the other end of the village. A vibrant local community includes a primary school, church and hall, whilst the centre of Cheltenham is only 3 miles away. Two large retail parks providing extensive amenities are about ½ a mile away. Cheltenham is a superb place for shopping with an abundance of main high street shops, specialist boutiques, cafés and restaurants. Education is very well catered for and there are excellent sporting facilities in and around the town. Host to annual cultural festivals including music, literature and jazz, the town is equally famous for horse racing and the annual Gold Cup. Communications are excellent with easy access to the M5 and there are regular train services to London Paddington in just over 2 hours.
