Description: - Tynings House is a fabulous family home, superbly situated within striking distance of the hustle and bustle of Cheltenham Spa. Beautifully renovated and extended, the current owners have been mindful to create a contemporary and practical home whilst maintaining stunning period features with original fireplaces and flooring. The layout of the accommodation works wonderfully with bright and light living spaces and cosy corners.

The kitchen/ family room is clearly the heart of the house and a lovely room in which to entertain family and friends. The kitchen breakfast bar is ideal for morning coffees and evening catch ups whilst cooking up a feast and the open plan aspect of the room works brilliantly when hosting larger gatherings. The kitchen is well laid out with bespoke units and modern appliances. There is plenty of worktop and storage space. French doors leading to the terrace allow for indoor/ outdoor living in the warmer months.

The dining and sitting areas work very well for everyday living, and equally when entertaining, and the feature fireplace makes this a cosy room in the winter.

The living room is perfect for relaxing moments with a good book after a day exploring the Cotswolds. The wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere and adds extra warmth in the winter months and there is plenty of natural light.

There are two further reception rooms along the hall which are currently set up as home studies. These could equally make a great playroom for younger children and a media room for family movie nights.

The utility room keeps the piles of washing out of sight and comes in handy for muddy wellies after a long country walk! There is also a home gym.

Upstairs comprises the master bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rooms are beautifully laid out with careful thought having been put into creating comfortable rooms with plenty of natural light.

The annexe, also known as Welsh Corner, provides excellent independent ancillary accommodation and comprises a generous reception room with French doors to the terrace and garden, a well- equipped kitchen with adjacent utility and cloakroom, and there are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

Outside the terrace is a wonderful space to entertain in the summer months with al fresco BBQs and lazy sundowners. The enclosed garden is a stunning feature of the house and is a true haven of outdoor space. It is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with colourful herbaceous borders and mature trees. There is a delightful summerhouse and a garden store.

There is plenty of parking on the gated gravel driveway.

Vendors' thoughts: "We have really enjoyed making Tynings House our home. We love being so close to Cheltenham, only five minutes to school drop-off, whilst having our own completely private haven with stunning views up to Leckhampton Hill. The annex has been a wonderful independent home for my parents and more recently a fantastic guest house and teenage sleepover space. We will miss the sociable kitchen the most. We hope the next family will enjoy it as much as we have. "

In a nutshell: A wonderful home, beautifully renovated, with superb living space.
