Hillview Villas, Harp Hill, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL52

Set at the foot of Harp Hill, in one of Cheltenham’s most sought-after locations, Hillview Villas is a charming three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace home, brimming with original features and character. Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this much-loved property is now ready to begin its next chapter, offering an exceptional opportunity for those looking to modernise a truly special period home.

You enter the property at first-floor level, where a generous sitting room immediately sets the tone with its elegant picture rails, original Victorian fireplace with mirrored surround, and high ceilings that create a sense of light and space. Along the hallway, you’ll find the second bedroom – a well-proportioned room that continues the home’s period charm.

Heading downstairs, the lower ground floor opens up into the heart of the home — a spacious kitchen-diner, a family room, and a separate WC (which was the original coal store!). Each of these rooms retains its original fireplace, with some still in use, and the family room also features built-in storage either side of the chimney breast. From here, doors open out onto the rear garden — a true highlight of the property.

The garden is beautifully mature, stretching a good distance and offering a wonderful sense of privacy. A large terraced area provides the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining, while fruit trees line the path towards the back, creating a peaceful and leafy retreat. The garden also benefits from side access and a summer house with full electricity — ideal for a home office, studio, or hobby space.

Upstairs, the top floor features two further bedrooms, both generous in size, along with a large shower room. The landing also houses the original Victorian linen cupboards — a rare and delightful detail. All three bedrooms measure at least 3.5m x 3.5m, giving each room an impressive sense of proportion and comfort.

To the front of the property, the area could easily be re-landscaped to provide off-road parking for one car (subject to the necessary permissions).

Location
Harp Hill is a highly regarded area on the edge of Cheltenham, offering easy access to the town centre while being moments from the open countryside of Cleeve Hill — perfect for walks and outdoor pursuits. Nearby amenities include local shops, cafés, and pubs, while Cheltenham’s vibrant town centre, with its renowned festivals, Regency architecture, and excellent dining scene, is only a short distance away.

The property also falls within catchment for several sought-after schools, including Holy Apostles Primary, and Charlton Kings Junior School, making it an ideal location for families.

This delightful home offers a rare blend of space, charm, and potential — a true period gem ready to be brought back to life.
