Summary - MALVERN HOUSE, MALVERN ROAD GL50 2NT
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright character apartment near Cheltenham centre ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor one-bedroom with high ceilings and original period features
Light-filled top-floor apartment quietly set above Malvern Road, offering period character and a sensible, low-running-cost ownership profile. High ceilings, a decorative ceiling rose and a large bay window with a bijou ironwork balcony create a welcoming living space with elevated garden views from the dual-aspect bedroom.
This one-bedroom home is move-in ready in key respects: a new boiler was fitted in March 2024 and the kitchen has durable tiled floors and included white goods. Practical layout features include a separate WC and a shower room, plus private internal staircase access. The property is sold chain-free with a very long 955‑year lease, share of freehold and a small ground rent of £25.
Because the building dates from before 1900 and likely has solid brick walls with no cavity insulation, buyers should expect older-wall thermal performance and possible future improvement costs for insulation or draught-proofing. The apartment sits in an area classed as communal retirement with many nearby amenities and excellent transport and broadband, but local crime levels are noted as high — an important consideration for some buyers.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking character, short walkability to Cheltenham town centre and low ongoing ownership costs. It also offers straightforward refurbishment potential to improve energy efficiency and personalise the interior.
