Set across almost 1,500 sq ft on the entire ground floor of a handsome Victorian building, this two-bedroom apartment delivers exceptional space rarely found in town-centre flats. High ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces and generous room proportions create a bright, characterful home with a strong sense of presence. The layout includes two large reception rooms, a modern kitchen with adjoining utility, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate shower.
Outdoor space is a standout: a private south-facing landscaped rear garden with raised terrace, a side gate, plus off-road parking for several vehicles and a powered garage/workshop. The property has its own entrance and benefits from gas central heating and mostly modern double glazing to the front. Leasehold running to 151 years, low ground rent (£15 pa) and shared maintenance/buildings insurance costs with two other apartments are notable ownership details.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the building dates from before 1900 and walls are stone with no assumed insulation, so heating costs may be higher than for new builds. There is a single bathroom serving two large bedrooms, and maintenance obligations are shared with the other flats. Its location provides easy access to Cheltenham town centre, GCHQ and the M5, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking substantial, characterful accommodation with outdoor space — families who value proximity to schools and town amenities, or investors looking for a large, flexible flat in an affluent area. Buyers wanting a fully low-maintenance, new-build specification should be aware of the building’s period fabric and shared upkeep arrangements.
