Shurdington Road, Cheltenham, GL53 0JH

Set within the attractive and distinctive St Kenelms House, this impressive top-floor apartment offers a sense of space that is rarely found in a one-bedroom property. The building itself retains plenty of character and is pleasantly set back from Shurdington Road, with mature planting surrounding the frontage and a private driveway providing residents' off-street parking.

The apartment is approached through the communal entrance and occupies the top floor of the building. Once inside, a particularly spacious central hallway creates an excellent first impression, with plenty of room for additional furniture and useful storage, while providing independent access to each of the principal rooms.

The reception/dining room is undoubtedly one of the standout spaces. Exceptionally generous in its proportions, there is ample room to create clearly defined sitting and dining areas while still retaining a real feeling of openness. The current arrangement demonstrates just how versatile the room can be, with space for a substantial seating area, dining table and additional furniture. A rooflight and traditional window introduce plenty of natural light, while a fireplace provides an attractive focal point and complements the character of the building.

Positioned separately from the living accommodation, the kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinetry, work surfaces and open shelving, together with a stainless-steel sink, gas hob and integrated oven. The roof window is a particularly appealing feature, bringing natural light into the room while framing an attractive outlook towards Leckhampton Hill and the surrounding countryside.

The bedroom is exceptionally spacious, comfortably accommodating a large double bed alongside substantial freestanding furniture while still leaving plenty of floor space. The generous proportions offer considerable flexibility for a new owner, with more than enough room for wardrobes, dressing furniture or even a small seating or home-working area if desired. A large window provides further natural light and another attractive elevated outlook.

Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, which has been finished in a contemporary style with a panelled bath and shower over with glazed screen, WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage beneath. Tiled surrounds, contrasting wall panelling and a heated towel rail complete the room, while the window provides natural light and ventilation.

One of the apartment's most appealing qualities is its elevated position within the building. From several rooms there are far-reaching views across the surrounding rooftops and towards the green slopes of Leckhampton Hill, giving the property a sense of openness despite its convenient urban location.

Externally, St Kenelms House is an attractive character building surrounded by established planting, with residents benefiting from off-street parking within the grounds.

With its unusually generous accommodation, character setting and convenient location, the apartment would make an excellent first purchase, investment or downsize and provides a genuine alternative for buyers who want the convenience of apartment living without compromising on internal space.

St Kenelms House occupies a convenient position on Shurdington Road, on the southern side of Cheltenham and particularly well placed for the amenities of Leckhampton and Bath Road. Bath Road is home to an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, while the popular areas of Montpellier, The Suffolks and Cheltenham town centre are also within easy reach. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Leckhampton Hill and the surrounding Cotswold countryside are readily accessible, with the apartment itself enjoying attractive views in this direction. The location also provides convenient access to Cheltenham Spa railway station, the A40 and M5, making it well suited to those commuting both locally and further afield.
