Located on the first floor, this very special flat offers a wonderful combination of space, character, natural light and wonderful period features in a setting considered to be one of Cheltenham’s loveliest, only steps away from Pittville Park so with the benefit of a very green setting only a mile from Cheltenham town centre.
The communal areas have retained much original charm with a stone tiled floor and handsome staircase to the first floor. The drawing room of flat 3 is simply exceptional and of a size that comfortably accommodates a suite of both sitting and dining furniture. The high ceilings are decorated with ornate mouldings and ceiling rose and a wide split shuttered, canted bay window to the front opens out to a load bearing balcony via triple sash hung windows and is enclosed by original balcony railings with anthemion motif and embellished rods, adding to the significance of this wonderful space. Gracing the room is also an original marble fireplace and to each side are deep fitted bookshelves and cupboards. Off the drawing room is a very smartly fitted kitchen with a tall sash hung shuttered window to the front, the perfect space for a small bistro coffee table to enjoy the view. Extensive cabinetry provides excellent storage with extra height cupboards making the most of the tall ceilings, again with ornate ceiling mouldings. Fitted appliances include two ovens, one with a warming drawer, dishwasher, free standing fridge/freezer and hob with induction plates.
The bedrooms and study are located off an S shaped hallway, creating the feeling of separate living and bedroom space. Both bedrooms enjoy a lovely view across the private and well stocked communal gardens, bedroom one has a matching marble fireplace to that in the drawing room, has fitted cupboards to the recesses, ornate ceiling mouldings and a pretty Juliet balcony to the shuttered sash hung window. The en-suite shower room fittings are contemporary in style and there is a good sized linen cupboard which houses the central heating boiler.
Bedroom two is a generous double room, served by a smartly fitted bathroom and what was bedroom three has been fitted with an extremely stylish Neville Johnson range of bedroom and office furniture, a lovely combination of a study space and dressing room, with an original fireplace adding to the character of the room and outlook again across the gardens.
As well as beautifully presented and planned living space, the flat also offers an excellent amount of storage with a utility cupboard/pantry off the reception hall and a large cupboard with mezzanine and further overhead storage.
Outside, the gardens extend across the whole of the rear of the two villas, creating a large expanse of lawn with mature trees and seating areas and a feeling of privacy and peace.
The carriage driveway to the front is for the use of the occupants of the villas on a first come first serve basis and two residents parking permits are available for Pittville Lawn for Zone 10.
