If you’re seeking a true taste of Regency glamour, look no further than this wonderfully elegant apartment in the heart of Cheltenham. Grand and luxurious, it exudes the kind of decadent charm for which the town is known, transporting you to a bygone era of romantic sophistication with its period details and offering all modern comforts for a relaxing stay. Antique furnishings, tall chandeliered ceilings and an eclectic blend of art set the stage in the separate study and living room, while the sleek kitchen contrasts stylishly with the large wooden dining table and its intricately carved chairs. We love the touches of marble in the entrance hallway and master bathroom, the latter boasting golden accents to make your soak in the tub or rainfall shower feel like a pampered indulgence. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are lavishly sumptuous with one offering a Chinoiserie headboard and the other more classically styled. Both, however, have French doors that lead out onto a beautiful lawn set up with a table and chairs, as well as a birdcage gazebo. While you could spend all day reading, dining and sunbathing at your home base, venture out to discover Cheltenham’s stunning sights. You’re just a ten-minute... walk from both Pittville Park and the Promenade, a one-minute stroll from Holst Victorian House, while Cheltenham Racecourse is a three-minute drive (or a twenty-minute walk) from your door.
