Gratton Street, The Suffolks, Cheltenham, GL50

An attractive period townhouse with the benefit of a self-contained courtyard flat, forming part of a delightful and highly sought-after street scene just moments from the amenities of The Suffolks, Montpellier, Bath Road and Tivoli.

This well maintained Victorian town house provides flexible accommodation arranged as a main house with a completely independent courtyard flat, ideal for guests, rental income or multi-generational living. Whilst comfortable as is, there is clear scope for a purchaser to undertake cosmetic updating and enhance the property to their own taste. The main house is entered via a hall with cloakroom, leading into a spacious sitting/dining room. This light and airy reception enjoys a pleasant outlook through to the kitchen and onto the rear garden, and features two fireplace recesses, a deep understairs alcove, staircase to the first floor, and a double glazed window to the front. Glazed double doors open into the kitchen/dining room, which is fitted with a range of units and some appliances. Glazed patio doors open out directly to the rear garden. Upstairs, the first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is served by a bathroom. The courtyard flat has its own private entrance and provides well-planned accommodation comprising an entrance lobby leading into a comfortable open-plan sitting room and kitchen area with breakfast bar. The double bedroom enjoys direct access via double doors to a private courtyard garden, ideal for outdoor seating. A further versatile room offers space for a study, dressing room or occasional bedroom, complemented by a neatly appointed bathroom.

Outside
Externally, the property is set back from Gratton Street behind traditional spearhead railings, with resident’s permit parking outside. To the rear lies a generous town garden with a pebbled seating area, raised beds and a variety of mature planting. A further section is a lovely sun trap and provides an excellent space for outdoor entertaining and could lend itself to a garden studio or summerhouse.
