A lower-ground two-bedroom flat in the heart of Cheltenham, this property combines period charm with contemporary fittings and the rare bonus of a private garden. The modern galley kitchen and updated bathroom make the home move-in ready, while the generous double bedrooms open onto the enclosed garden — useful outdoor space in a central location.
The apartment sits in a Georgian mid-terrace with original character and sash windows. It benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and an unexpectedly long lease (973 years). At 881 sq ft, it offers an airy feel for a lower-ground layout and direct access to Cheltenham’s shops, bars and parks.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the flat is lower-ground/basement level, the area records very high crime, and the property lies in a medium flood-risk zone. Broadband speeds are very slow locally, and the building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, which could increase heating costs despite the gas boiler. Annual service charge is £1,980 and tenure is leasehold.
This home will suit first-time buyers or city-centre dwellers wanting outside space and character close to amenities. It also offers straightforward cosmetic and comfort upgrades (insulation, broadband) that would enhance long-term value.
