This lower-ground two-bedroom apartment sits within an attractive Grade II listed Georgian terrace and offers direct street access plus a private rear courtyard garden. The apartment feels spacious for its type with a large living/dining room, modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room and good built-in storage including a garden store. Gas central heating and double glazing (fitted post-2002) provide everyday comfort.
Practical running costs are clear: council tax band A (very cheap), current service charge £1,140pa and ground rent £456pa. The lease has 88 years remaining and the listed status will mean additional consent requirements for alterations and some maintenance, which can complicate refurbishment or extension plans. The building’s solid brick construction (original, likely uninsulated) may also mean higher heating bills than modern builds.
Location strengths include easy walking access to Cheltenham town centre, nearby parks, well-regarded independent schools and local shops and eateries. On-street permit parking is available (Zone 15) and mobile signal is excellent, though broadband speeds are average. Note the local crime level is recorded as very high; purchasers should consider security measures and local context when viewing.
This apartment suits a buyer looking for period character with external private outside space and convenient town access — whether a first-time buyer wanting room to grow or an investor seeking central Cheltenham stock. Be prepared for lease and listed-building practicalities and for maintenance or insulation work if long-term running costs are a priority.
