Idsall Drive, Prestbury

A rare opportunity to acquire a prominent plot of land situated at the corner of The Bank Road and Idsall Drive, nestled within the Prestbury Conservation Area in Cheltenham. Plans, designed by Coombes Everitt Architects, have been prepared for a thoughtfully conceived, contextually styled two-storey dwelling with a loft dormer.

The proposed property has been carefully planned to complement the scale and architectural character of the surrounding area, particularly the nearby Grade II listed Idsall House.

The proposed home will be centrally located on the site, maximizing privacy and minimizing the impact on neighbouring properties.

Ground Floor: A spacious entrance hallway connecting to a snug family room, WC, and a generous kitchen/dining area at the heart of the home. The layout also includes a study for home or flexible working, a utility room, and a large single garage. The family room, designed with pocket doors, allows for flexible usage, linking both the hall and kitchen/dining area.

First Floor: Four ensuite double bedrooms, providing ample space and privacy for family members.

Loft Floor:  One additional double bedroom and a bathroom, situated to avoid overshadowing neighbouring homes.

The property's design emphasizes flexibility, natural light, and privacy, ensuring no direct overlooking of neighbouring properties. The roof ridge height is planned to be lower than the Grade II listed Idsall House and in line with adjacent properties, maintaining harmony with the area's existing massing.

This site benefits from its prime location within Prestbury's urban area, providing easy access to Cheltenham Town Centre, local schools, and employment opportunities. Positioned off the High Street, it is just a short walk from local amenities and is well-serviced by public transport links.

The property will have secure off-street parking for up to four vehicles, including a garage with an electric car charging point and internal cycle storage.

A pedestrian path from The Bank Road leads to the front door, offering attractive frontage from both The Bank Road and the War Memorial open space.

This site represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking to self-build a bespoke home in a highly desirable, sustainable location that blends seamlessly with Prestbury's historical and architectural character.
