A beautiful Grade II* listed terraced house with four floors of accommodation requiring general modernisation and reorganisation.

Description

Parmoor House is a wonderful Grade II* listed terraced property located on the highly sought after Lypiatt Terrace found in a superb location between Montpellier, Tivoli and The Suffolks. Understood to date from 1847 and designed by renowned local architect Samuel W Daukes, Lypiatt Terrace is one of the most recognisable in Cheltenham with the ashlar stone dressing and its wide grass frontage. The houses here retain huge appeal to purchasers looking to acquire a landmark terrace in the town.

The very spacious and versatile accommodation is arranged over four floors, with the lower ground floor providing a separate apartment comprising two bedrooms, a sitting/dining room, bathroom, cloakroom and kitchen, all accessed from the rear through the garden. Although separate from the upper floors, this could be reincorporated back in to the main body of the accommodation if preferred, subject to any necessary consents and permissions.

The upper floors are essentially combined with the second floor primarily used as living accommodation and the raised ground and first floors used as offices and presentation spaces. Worthy of particular note is the outstanding drawing room on the first floor at the front with its three windows, and the glorious sitting and dining rooms on the ground floor with a wide opening between. Depending on the preferred accommodation, the upper floors could provide up to five bedrooms with further bedrooms in the lower ground floor.

Excitingly, many of the character features remain intact, including windows with working shutters, feature fireplaces, ceiling roses and cornicing, and the cantilevered stone staircase.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is laid mostly to hard landscaping with mature plant and shrub borders while the front is open and laid to lawn with tarmac service roads providing three parking spaces. The rear service lane could also create further parking in the garden if desired, again subject to any necessary consents.

Location

Lypiatt Road is a beautifully located and quiet road that sits between Montpellier, Tivoli and The Suffolks, and Lypiatt Terrace is superbly set back from the road, with a wide expanse of lawn to the front, bordered by wrought iron railings. Parmoor House is found towards the southern end of the terrace thus away from Lansdown Road.

Cheltenham is famed as one of the most complete Regency towns in England and historically the original and most fashionable spa.

Less than a hundred miles from London it nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley, and is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close and Pates Grammar.

Now a highly sought after place to live the town is well known for its grand houses set amongst formal avenues and beautiful garden squares.

For those with a taste for the finer things in life, there are Michelin starred restaurants, numerous bars, stylish shops and salons aplenty. For art and history lovers there is The Wilson, Cheltenham’s newly refurbished museum and art gallery, whilst Cheltenham also has a thriving cultural scene that includes two concert halls and three theatres. There are the numerous festivals such as The Wychwood Festival, the festivals of literature, science, food and drink and, perhaps the pinnacle for some, the jazz festival, which has historically attracted such known performers as Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum and Jools Holland.

Undoubtedly for many more, the highlight of the year is the annual racing festival culminating with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the blue riband event of the national hunt calendar, and an attraction that draws the public to the town year after year.
