History of Sandford Park House

Sandford Park House was originally built circa 1830 as two separate dwellings and formed part of an imposing streetscape along London Road during a relatively late phase in the Regency development of the town of Cheltenham. The building was then further extended and modernised in around 1950. 

This prominent building is situated on the south side of London Road, where its width and bold bow-fronted design make it a distinctive addition to an impressive avenue of Regency buildings leading to the Town Centre. It is an important illustration of growth within the town during this period alongside surrounding properties which collectively illustrate the architectural tastes and domestic life of fashionable Regency society.

Location

Regularly voted ‘Best place to live in the South West’ by The Sunday Times, Cheltenham has a perfect mix of architecture, countryside, entertainment and education. There is stunning Regency architecture at every turn, with the grand tree-lined Promenade and picturesque Pitville Park to name just two of many highlights in the town. For further magnificence, the pretty village of Winchcombe just 10 miles away is home to the hidden historic gem of Sudeley Castle where Henry VIII’s wife Katherine Parr is buried and was the capital of the Kingdom of Mercia in the middle ages.

Enjoy The Outdoors

Beautiful countryside is all around the town with miles of hills to explore on foot or bike at nearby spots such as Bishops Cleeve or Leckhampton, plus the fabulous Malvern Hills and impressive Forest of Dean just a short drive away. Positioned at the heart of the Cotswolds, you are also within a 30-minute drive of iconic locations like Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold as well as the popular market town of Cirencester and the historic City of Gloucester. If you want an alternative outdoor experience within just a stone’s throw, then you can always pop round the corner to Sandford Park Lido for outdoor swimming at the 50m Art Deco pool which has been enjoyed by the locals since 1935.

Eat, drink and shop

There’s no doubt that Cheltenham is something of a foodie’s paradise with a wide range of high-quality restaurants including The Ivy, in a beautiful setting in the Montpellier area, Indian fine dining at Prithvi as well as Brasserie Blanc which is part of the impressive Queens Hotel – also a good place for traditional afternoon tea. You’ll find a good number of stylish cafes and classy gastro pubs across the town while there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a country pub experience nearby at places like the recently refurbished Frogmill just 10 minutes away with a 16th century mill sitting alongside the huge garden. The shopping experience in Cheltenham is dominated by a wealth of independent boutiques but there are also big-name brands and high street staples in the centre of town together with a flagship John Lewis not to be missed. In addition, a burgeoning shopping experience at Gloucester Quays by the river offers over 60 stores plus other entertainment options.

The Festival Town

Cheltenham has an arts, culture and festival calendar to rival most places in the world with over 25 festivals a year. From the world leading Literature Festival to the longest running Cricket Festival, plus jazz, science and classical music in between, and for those rare times festivals aren’t on, you can get your dose of culture at the Grade II listed Everyman Theatre or The Wilson art gallery, part of the highly regarded museum. Cheltenham's biggest annual event is in March when the world-famous Cheltenham Festival brings thousands of spectators to enjoy a unique atmosphere as the finest horses, jockeys and trainers battle it out for the highest jump-racing honours.

Top Quality Schools

Cheltenham is able to offer excellent education options in both state and independent sectors. Cheltenham College, a high-achieving day and boarding school in a stunning location, Cheltenham Ladies College with top class facilities, Dean Close School and St. Edwards are all highly rated independents together with Pates Grammar school which regularly appears in top national listings. For state options, you will struggle to beat nearby Balcarras School in Charlton Kings, which is one of the top-rated secondaries in the country and has been rated ‘outstanding’ in its last four OFSTED reports dating back to 2001.
