Description

Edgecombe House is a truly distinguished Grade II* listed townhouse dating back to 1847, forming part of one of Montpellier’s most iconic and architecturally celebrated terraces. Set behind a sweeping carriage driveway, this elegant home enjoys two private parking spaces directly to the front, a rare and valuable feature in such a central location.

Positioned on the quieter, south-facing end of Lypiatt Terrace, the house sits behind a manicured lawn framed by traditional spearhead railings, offering both presence and privacy. The approach is classically grand, with stone steps rising to the raised ground floor and a reception hall that sets the tone, original flagstone flooring, ornate ceiling mouldings, and a beautiful cantilevered staircase speak to the property’s refined heritage.

At the rear, the west-facing town garden offers a peaceful escape. Paved and walled, with beautifully raised beds filled with mature shrubs and specimen planting, it creates a colourful and vibrant backdrop year-round, an oasis of calm. A secure gated entrance leads to Lypiatt Lane, where residents benefit from unrestricted parking, further enhancing the practicality of this exceptional home.

Architecturally, Edgecombe House is a fine example of Italianate design, all the elegance, scale, and detail one would expect from this celebrated period. The rooms are gracefully proportioned, filled with light, and finished with considered period detailing throughout. It’s a home that balances historic charm with everyday comfort, a rare combination in one of Cheltenham’s most sought-after addresses.
