Albert Road, Cheltenham, GL52

A rare and wonderful opportunity to acquire a detached period home on the sought after Albert Road adjacent to Pittville Park and a short walk to town and race course.



Description
A prominent period detached property and one of just a small cluster of stately uniform homes that epitomise the street scenes that have made this part of Cheltenham’s cultural centre so well regarded.
The current owners have been in residence for many years and have utilised the exceptional accommodation as a main house, with basement apartment let to generate an income. This offers excellent potential for a prospective buyer also seeking an income stream, a separate space for a dependent relative or as a grand family home in its entirety.

Spanning over 5995 Sq Ft of accommodation over four floors, the current layout presents as a lower ground floor apartment, which is completely self-contained and has its own entrance from the rear of the house. Traditionally this would have had an adjoining staircase linking it to the accommodation in the main building, which could be easily reinstated if so required. Of interesting note is the wonderful raised stone entrance and stone balcony running the length of the façade with Roman heads above first floor windows which are only particular to this property.

Of worthy note, the property is unlisted.

Outside
Occupying a prominent position, yet set back from the road with a carriage driveway, the property is grand on first entry. The plot is a wonderful blend of parking to the front and family space to the rear. Unusually for living so close to the centre of town, the rear garden lawn is good in size. Due to the nature of its setting, the property enjoys a green and open feel with the crescent opposite and only a stone’s throw from Pittville Park.


Situation
