2 bed terraced house for sale

Tivoli, Cheltenham GL50

A Townhouse With A Secret Garden

Behind a row of elegant Cheltenham façades, this is a house that quietly over-delivers.

Dating back around 150 years, this classic townhouse sits in one of the town’s most desirable pockets, moments from Tivoli and Montpellier, yet what lies beyond the front door feels entirely removed. There’s a calmness here, a sense of privacy and space that is rarely found so centrally.

Cherished over the last 20 years, this is a home that has been properly lived in and thoughtfully adapted. It works beautifully as it is but equally offers the kind of potential that is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Space That Flows

The ground floor of Number 26 Lypiatt Street is both generous and intuitive.

A 23-foot sitting room creates an immediate sense of scale, a long, elegant space with soft natural light and a working gas fire adding warmth and focus. It’s a room that can shift effortlessly from everyday living to hosting.

Beyond, the house opens up into a more contemporary arrangement.

The rear has been remodelled to create a connected kitchen and dining space which is sociable, practical and perfectly positioned to enjoy the garden. The kitchen itself is sleek and modern, finished with gloss cabinetry, clean-lined worktops and integrated appliances, including a Neff oven, offering both style and reliability at the heart of the home.

A separate utility room and downstairs WC sit neatly tucked away, ensuring the practicalities of daily life are handled without interrupting the flow of the house.

And So to Bed, Simple And Calm

Upstairs, the layout continues to make sense.

Two well-proportioned double bedrooms offer flexibility, each with its own character. The principal bedroom feels calm and generous, while the second bedroom is enhanced by a clever mezzanine level above providing an adaptable space ideal for guests, working from home or a more creative use.

The bathroom is centrally positioned and functional, with clear scope for updating, alongside the wider opportunity to reconfigure should a buyer wish to follow the existing plans.

Ready For More

This is a home with a future already considered.

Plans have been drawn up to extend the first floor, introducing an additional bedroom and a new bathroom. This would be a natural next step to elevate the house into something more substantial without compromising its charm.

It’s a rare opportunity to buy somewhere that already works but could become something even greater.

The Secret Garden, A Haven of Tranquility

Step outside and the house reveals its real advantage.

The garden is unusually large for a property of this type. Its a beautifully mature, private space that completely transforms how this home is lived in. Thoughtfully planted and well-established, it offers multiple areas in which to sit, entertain or simply unwind.

A pergola wrapped in seasonal wisteria creates a natural focal point, whilst the depth of the plot gives a sense of space that feels unexpected this close to town.

To the rear, a standalone studio provides further flexibility being ideal for working from home, as a creative space or a quiet retreat.

And then, something genuinely rare.

The shared residents’ lane is an incredibly valuable feature in this part of Cheltenham, giving vehicle access at the rear of the house, where parking is often at a premium.

The Best of Living In Town

Number 26 Lypiatt Street has the best of all worlds.

Set within easy walking distance of Tivoli, Montpellier and the town centre, everything is on your doorstep including cafés, restaurants, independent shops and green spaces.

It’s a location that allows you to walk everywhere if you so wish.

And yet, the moment you step back into the house, you’re met with quiet, privacy and a garden that feels far removed from the energy of town.

It’s a balance that’s very hard to find and a big part of why homes like this here are so tightly held.

A House With Heart And Opportunity

There’s something honest about this home.

It’s well-proportioned, well-located and already beautifully liveable in. But it also offers clear potential, whether that’s cosmetic refinement, reworking the layout, or delivering on the extension plans already in place.

For the right buyer, it’s not just a move it’s an opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle.

A classic Cheltenham townhouse, with a rare garden, valuable parking, a studio, and the scope to become something truly exceptional.
