A freshly renovated one-bedroom apartment tucked into a Grade II listed Georgian building, just 0.2 miles from Cheltenham’s Promenade and town centre. The upper-ground position faces the quieter side of the building and benefits from large sash windows that bring good natural light into the open-plan living space and bedroom.
Finished to a clean, modern specification, the flat features a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated electric oven and hob, a stylish shower room and built-in bedroom wardrobes. The conversion feels bright and efficient inside 498 sq ft of accommodation, making it a compact, low-upkeep home that suits a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a central let.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status — attractive for character but likely to restrict structural changes and add planning complexity. Heating is by electric wall-mounted heaters which are easy to maintain but can be costlier than gas long term. There is permit/on-street parking only.
Practical factors: the lease has 116 years remaining and a small ground rent (£150); the flat is tenure: leasehold and being offered chain-free. There is a recorded medium flood risk and higher local crime levels for the immediate neighbourhood, so check insurance and personal security considerations before committing.
