Lypiatt Terrace, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50

An elegant and beautifully proportioned Grade II* Listed townhouse forming one of Cheltenham’s most exceptional terraces and stunning street scenes in Montpellier




Edgecombe House is a fine example of Italianate architecture and a home of great style with the grand proportions synonymous with properties of this era. Impressive in size, these beautiful town houses are also extremely comfortable homes and the combination of gracious rooms, period features, superbly proportioned space and a west facing garden is a marriage of features rarely found in such a prime location.
Lypiatt Terrace is set back from Lypiatt Road with a manicured, lawned frontage bordered by traditional spearhead railings. Edgecombe House is on the quiet, south end of the terrace and enjoys an excellent level of peace for such a central setting. Stone steps rise to the raised ground floor and the reception hall with its flagged stone floor, ornate ceiling mouldings and wonderful cantilevered stone staircase gives an immediate feel of period elegance.
The double reception room on this floor is a wonderful, light and bright space with the sitting room to the front overlooking the lawns and an abundance of character with arched sash hung windows, ornate ceiling mouldings and a handsome marble fireplace with inset stove. The dining room has a wide sash hung window to the rear overlooking the garden and sits adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room so ideally positioned for both relaxed and more formal entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a superb size and is open to a wonderful conservatory to the rear, leading out to the balcony and garden creating the much sought after feeling of seamless indoor to outdoor living. The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of painted cabinets, dresser style unit, central island and breakfast bar, integrated appliances and timber flooring with underfloor heating with further character added to the room with a lovely woodburning stove with deep display ledge over.

The stone cantilevered staircase rises to a cloakroom on the mezzanine and on up to the first floor landing. This is a beautiful floor which has the most wonderful drawing room/library that is the width of the property and overlooks the gardens and street scene of Lypiatt Road from the three tall, arched sash hung windows. The room is further graced by ornate ceiling mouldings and a very special marble fireplace with decorative carved corbels and shelved bookcases to each side. The main bedroom is also on the first floor and is a generous suite with steps down to an exceptionally large bathroom, beautifully fitted with a full suite and linen cupboard for storage.

On the second floor is a further impressive bedroom suite with distinctive art-deco style full bathroom suite and two further bedrooms served by a shower room on the mezzanine.
The lower ground floor of Edgecombe House offers further excellent accommodation, perfect for a large family who want their independent space and which can also be arranged as a self-contained flat with separate access from the rear town garden.

The quality of the main house continues throughout this floor with a lovely large sitting room, two double bedrooms (one presently arranged as a gym), served by a shower room and bathroom plus a smartly appointed galley kitchen, well fitted with modern units and integrated appliances.
