Painswick Road, Cheltenham

Positioned within an attractive Grade II-listed terrace, this elegant and versatile townhouse offers nearly 2,500 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation across five floors, including a secluded west-facing garden, front garden, and the flexibility for multigenerational living. The house combines period character with modern practicality, featuring a selfcontained lower ground floor and rear access to Andover Street.

The property opens to a handsome raised ground floor where a well proportioned dining room flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen with central island, flooded with natural light from a glazed sun room beyond, which leads directly onto the garden. The front garden is unusually generous, creating an appealing buffer from the road and a sense of privacy rarely found in such a central location. A spacious reception room occupies the first floor, with a trio of tall sash windows bringing in a wonderful quality of light. A study forms a natural extension of this space—ideal as a work area, library or informal sitting area.

The second floor is dedicated to the principal suite, comprising a large double bedroom, generous dressing room and a well-appointed bathroom. Above, the third floor provides an excellent guest suite with its own shower room and far-reaching rooftop views. The current arrangement of the upper floors lends itself beautifully to elegant, private living, though there is scope to adapt the layout to suit a more family-orientated lifestyle—potentially creating further bedrooms by converting the dressing room or study, subject to need.

The lower ground floor presents a flexible self-contained space ideal for guests, teenagers, or as a lettable unit, with its own bedroom, shower room, sitting room, secondary kitchen, and access to the rear garden. A storage room and private entrance further add to the practicality, with the added benefit of rear access to Andover Street.

With its multiple living areas, excellent bedroom provision, and gardens front and rear, this is a particularly adaptable home, well suited to modern family life.
