Set within the prestigious Grade II listed John Dower House, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment blends grand Regency proportions with contemporary conveniences. High ceilings, large sash windows and a marble fireplace create a bright, characterful living room, while a modern kitchen-breakfast room and thoughtfully arranged rooms provide comfortable, practical city-centre living. Lift access and an allocated secure underground parking space (included in the service charge) add rare convenience in the heart of Cheltenham.
The long lease (c.994 years), C EPC rating and integrated Heat Interface Unit make this a straightforward ownership proposition for a central property. Service charge currently covers water use and the underground parking; ground rent is modest. There are two Section 20 notices on the building (one for external refurbishment — vendor to cover cost; a second currently on hold), and the building’s listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations.
This apartment will suit someone seeking elegant period character with low immediate maintenance on the unit itself, good digital connectivity and easy access to Montpellier, shops, cafés and cultural attractions. Note practical negatives plainly: the service charge is above average and the local crime statistics are very high — buyers should factor these into affordability, insurance and security considerations. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and finish of the accommodation and the convenience of secure parking in this central location.
