Set on the top floors of a Grade II listed terrace, this split-level two-bedroom flat offers more than typical starter homes: over 1,099 sq ft of living space, high ceilings and a private roof terrace with far-reaching views. The layout feels more like a small house, with a dedicated entrance and internal stairs giving a sense of privacy and scale rarely found in town-centre flats.
The property suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking character and outside space. Both bedrooms are generous doubles and the open-plan lounge/diner flows to a contemporary kitchen and French doors onto the terrace — ideal for al fresco dining. Shared residents’ gardens and communal parking add useful external amenity in a central location just minutes from Montpellier’s shops and bars. The flat is offered chain-free and benefits from an exceptionally long lease (962 years), modest ground rent and an average service charge of £1,080.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building’s Grade II listed status (c.1838) will restrict alterations and may make modernisation or structural work more costly or require listed-building consent. Accommodation includes a single bathroom, which may limit households needing ensuite facilities. The local area records higher crime levels than average; prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries. EPC C and mains gas central heating provide reasonable running costs, and council tax is described as low.
Overall, this is a rare, spacious period flat with private outdoor space and long-term security via the lease — a strong option for those who prioritise size, character and proximity to Cheltenham’s central amenities, while accepting listed-building limitations and the single bathroom arrangement.
