Property description
A unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed Regency town house in the heart of Pittville, close to Cheltenham town centre. The house forms part of the original Joseph Pitt estate and has views over Pittville Lawn. The property is imposing and impressive in its proportions and has for a long time been a substantial family home. There are copious original features from the ceiling roses and mouldings to the shutters and fire places. The house offers five double bedrooms with an option of a sixth and has a self contained one bedroom basement apartment that could easily be re-integrated into the main part of the house. Furthermore, the property benefits from a beautiful garden with a water feature and an elegant feel. At the back of the garden there is a generous double garage with a superb garden terrace above.
