7 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A magnificent Grade II listed Regency villa of exceptional scale and quality, privately set behind sweeping lawns in one of Cheltenham’s most prestigious addresses


This magnificent Regency residence, extending to more than 5,700 square feet and arranged across four floors, has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of restoration and renovation by the present owners. The result is a home of exceptional quality, offering beautifully proportioned living spaces, luxurious bedroom suites and a versatile top floor that can provide additional bedrooms or an independent apartment.

The property displays all the grace and refinement of the Regency era. Full height sash windows with working shutters, deep skirtings, ornate ceiling mouldings and period fireplaces all combine to create an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

The approach is particularly striking, a pillared portico reached by a short flight of steps leading through grand double doors into a vestibule, and on through glazed doors into an impressive entrance hall with limestone flooring and a sweeping staircase.

The ground floor is arranged around three principal reception rooms, each with washed oak flooring. The drawing room occupies the front of the house with tall sash windows and double doors opening to the dining room, which in turn leads to the conservatory and garden. A further reception room overlooks the side garden through a large picture window and is centred on an open fireplace. Beyond lies a study fitted with bespoke Neville Johnson cabinetry and enjoying southerly views towards Leckhampton Hill. A cloakroom and the secondary staircase complete the ground floor.

At lower ground level a flagstone hall leads into the kitchen breakfast room, a wonderful space fitted with painted cabinetry, quartz worksurfaces and integrated Miele appliances. The room centres on a large island, with a breakfast table set into the bay window and a built-in oak window seat, all bathed in natural light. Also on this level is a guest bedroom with adjacent bathroom, a gym or additional reception room, utility, pantry, wine cellar and an excellent boot room with direct garden access.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the two upper floors. On the first floor, the principal suite enjoys fine elevated views across The Park and incorporates fitted wardrobes and a superbly appointed en suite. A second bedroom offers a further en suite and dressing area, while the third is served by a shower room from the landing.

The top floor offers great flexibility, with three further bedrooms, one currently arranged as a sitting room with kitchenette, served by a shower room. This floor lends itself to use as guest accommodation, a self-contained apartment, holiday let or independent space for staff or older children. There is also a large storage room which could, if required, be converted into an additional bathroom, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, a sweeping gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage. The gardens are mature and secluded, predominantly laid to lawn and wrapping around the house with a choice of terraces and seating areas. At the far end of the rear garden is a heated swimming pool with a discreet pool house screened by established hedging.
