Refurbished one-bed in a prime Cheltenham crescent — character, location and long lease.
Prestigious Grade II Listed address on Lansdown Crescent
A beautifully refurbished Grade II Listed lower-ground apartment on prestigious Lansdown Crescent, offering stylish city living a short walk from Montpellier, Tivoli and Cheltenham Spa station. The current owner has combined period features with a contemporary finish: a handless matt kitchen with integrated appliances, an L-shaped living room with sash window, a generous double bedroom and a modern walk-in shower room.
Practical long-term ownership is supported by an extensive lease (966 years remaining), a modest ground rent and established management. The flat is a sensible size for city living (circa 579 sq ft) and benefits from unallocated off-street parking for one car and resident permit parking nearby. Broadband speeds are fast and local amenities, cafes and restaurants are on the doorstep.
Important practical notes: the building is Grade II Listed which can limit alterations and may complicate permissions for works. The property retains single-glazed sash windows and stone walls without assumed insulation, and heating includes electric night-storage elements alongside the mains system — these are factors to consider for winter running costs. The service charge is stated at approximately £2,244.67 pa and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime statistics.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or professional seeking a characterful, low-maintenance city base with strong transport links and a high-quality finish. It offers immediate move-in condition but also clear renovation or upgrade potential for buyers wanting to improve thermal efficiency or personalise within listed-building constraints.
