Malvern Place, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50

A handsome and substantial Victorian townhouse, offering elegant, well-proportioned accommodation with a secluded south-east facing garden and parking.

2 Malvern Place is a handsome and substantial Victorian townhouse, dating from the 1850s, offering elegant and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over four floors and extending to approximately 3,607 sq. ft. The property displays many of the defining characteristics of the period, including large sash windows, working shutters and fireplaces, together with a fine sense of scale and natural light throughout.

At the heart of the house is an attractive stone staircase rising through the building, creating a striking central feature and contributing to the strong sense of flow between floors.

The raised ground floor provides the principal reception space, currently arranged with a dining room to the front and a generous drawing room to the rear, although the layout is entirely flexible and can be adapted to suit individual preferences. The kitchen is positioned to the rear and looks out over the garden.

The lower ground floor has been opened up to create a more cohesive and versatile level, now providing a comfortable suite of rooms including a guest bedroom, sitting room, utility area and shower room. With its own access, this floor lends itself equally well to guest accommodation, independent living or home working. Alternatively, there is clear potential for reconfiguration or extension subject to the necessary consents.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. The first floor includes two spacious double bedrooms, together with a study or nursery adjoining the principal bedroom, as well as a large bathroom and separate WC. The second floor provides two further generous bedrooms, along with eaves storage and an additional shower room, offering flexible family accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys a secluded south-east facing garden, with a pleasant aspect and a good degree of privacy. There is also useful side access, adding to the practicality of the house. The front of the property, behind classic spearheaded railings, benefits from two parking spaces, with further on-street permit parking available if required.

The property offers an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to further enhance and personalise, with excellent scope to extend and reconfigure (subject to planning), creating a highly individual and impressive family home.

Situation:

Malvern Place is ideally positioned to enjoy all the town has to offer while leaving the car at home. Montpellier, The Suffolks and the Promenade are all within a short walk and offer an exceptional range of boutique shops, galleries, independent cafés, wine bars and highly regarded restaurants. Cheltenham’s reputation as a lifestyle destination continues to grow, with a strong emphasis on food, culture, retail and outdoor living, all underpinned by its elegant Regency setting.

Cheltenham is internationally recognised for its vibrant festival calendar, hosting world class events throughout the year including the Literature Festival, Jazz Festival, Science Festival and Music Festival, all sited within easy walking distance of the property. The town is also home to the world famous Cheltenham Festival at Prestbury Park, one of the highlights of the global racing calendar and a major draw for visitors from across the UK and overseas.

The town offers an outstanding range of educational options, both state and independent.

There are direct rail services to London Paddington and Birmingham, making it a popular base for commuters, second home owners and international buyers. The town also benefits from easy access to the M5 motorway, providing convenient links to Bristol, the Midlands and the wider national motorway network.
