About the house

This four storey, end terrace Regency townhouse combines period elegance with meticulous modern upkeep. The house has been in our family for over 20 years; I’m an Old Cheltonian (CLC, class of ’96) and although seven years of boarding made me a little stoic, I’ll be sad to see the house go — Mum is ready for a new adventure in the countryside with her cats (retirement is not the word she wants to hear) and we hope someone else will enjoy the joy and fun this house has given us.
