This generous one-bedroom apartment occupies a handsome Victorian terrace in the heart of Cheltenham, just minutes from The Promenade, shops, Waitrose and the bus station. Set within an attractive period building, the flat benefits from high ceilings, original cornicing and a marble fireplace, giving the principal reception room strong period character and abundant natural light.
Practical benefits include a large kitchen/breakfast room, a quiet double bedroom facing the rear garden, gas central heating and a rare full-height private storage room on the first floor. The property comes with a share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease (968 years) and off-street parking — useful assets for both first-time buyers and investors.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the property sits in a busy town-centre location and recorded local crime levels are very high. There is a medium flooding risk for the area, and the building’s solid brick construction likely offers limited cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs or future retrofit works. Service charges are approximately £167 per month and ground rent is nil.
Overall, this apartment will suit someone wanting a spacious, characterful home with excellent central location and long-term security of tenure — or an investor seeking a straightforward town-centre rental let. The building’s period charm and practical extras (parking, storage, share of freehold) provide strong appeal, while budgeting for possible insulation improvements and being mindful of local crime and flood risk is advisable.
