A beautifully presented two-double-bedroom garden flat set within a large Grade II listed Regency townhouse, quietly located on Wellington Square and within easy walking distance of Cheltenham town centre. The apartment combines period charm — bay window and high ceilings — with contemporary comforts such as a fully fitted kitchen, underfloor heating and two en-suite bathrooms. A private rear garden with lawn, patio, specimen planting and rear pedestrian access is a significant city-centre rarity.
The layout works well for downsizers, professionals or couples who want town living with outdoor space: an entrance lobby and useful cloaks cupboard lead into a generous kitchen/dining room with Silestone worktops and integrated appliances. The main reception room is bright with a bay window and a wood-burning stove set in a marble surround. Both double bedrooms include fitted storage and direct access to the enclosed garden; the master benefits from extensive wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
Practical points to note: the flat is LEASEHOLD (quarter share of freehold) with a long 999-year lease from 2017 and an annual service charge around £1,200. The building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate certain works or permissions. Construction is original stone with assumed no cavity wall insulation; interested buyers should check thermal performance and any planned conservation requirements. On-street permit parking only, and local crime levels are reported above average.
Overall this is a rare combination of Regency character and modern convenience in one of Cheltenham’s most prestigious garden squares. It will suit buyers seeking low-maintenance garden living close to eateries, shops and trains, but anyone considering significant modifications should factor in listed-building constraints and carry out their own technical and legal checks.
