About
Situated within a quiet and highly sought-after backwater, just a short five-minute walk from Cheltenham town centre, this charming and deceptively spacious three bedroom period home offers a wonderful blend of character, generous accommodation and an exceptionally convenient location.
Retaining many original features and presented in excellent order throughout, the property provides significantly more space than might first be expected and represents a rare opportunity in one of Cheltenham's most desirable residential areas.
The ground floor is beautifully arranged for modern living whilst preserving the character of the home.
Two open-plan reception rooms create a welcoming and versatile living environment, with the sitting room centred around a feature log burner and complemented by useful fitted storage.
The dining area flows seamlessly into a substantial kitchen/breakfast room, providing an impressive space for both family life and entertaining.
Double doors open directly onto a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, creating a wonderful extension of the living space during the warmer months.
A particularly valuable feature of the property is the lower ground floor level, which offers a highly versatile additional reception room that could equally serve as a third bedroom, home office, media room or guest accommodation.
Benefiting from excellent natural light, good ceiling height and a separate WC, this flexible space significantly enhances the overall accommodation.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two generous bedrooms, both well-proportioned and filled with natural light.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage, while the accommodation is served by a truly exceptional family bathroom.
Beautifully appointed and remarkably spacious, it features both a freestanding bath and separate shower, creating a luxurious and relaxing retreat.
Outside, the landscaped courtyard garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide an attractive and low-maintenance outdoor space, ideal for entertaining, dining or simply enjoying a peaceful setting close to the heart of the town.
Portland Square enjoys an enviable location within easy walking distance of Cheltenham's vibrant town centre, where residents can enjoy an outstanding selection of boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and leisure facilities.
The area is particularly popular due to its combination of peaceful residential surroundings and immediate access to everyday amenities.
Cheltenham is widely regarded as one of the UK's finest Regency towns, celebrated for its elegant architecture, thriving cultural scene and internationally renowned festivals including the Literature Festival, Jazz Festival, Science Festival and the world-famous Cheltenham Festival at Prestbury Park Racecourse.
Beautiful parks and green spaces, including Pittville Park and Sandford Park, are also within easy reach, providing wonderful opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
The town is well served by excellent transport links, with Cheltenham Spa railway station offering direct services to Birmingham, Bristol and London Paddington, while the nearby M5 motorway provides convenient access throughout the region.
A range of highly regarded schools, both state and independent, further enhances the appeal of the location.
Combining generous accommodation, period character, flexible living space and a prime town-centre setting, this outstanding home offers a lifestyle opportunity that is rarely available and must be viewed to fully appreciate its charm, space and location.
