Property description

This grade II listed “Italianate villa” is Offered for sale with the benefit planning permission and listed building consent (pending).
This historic landmark building designed in circa 1865 by the eminent Architect Samuel Daukes (famed for over 65 churches nationwide, and more locally Lypiatt terrace, 1–19 Montpellier Street, and st Peters Church here in Cheltenham) was to be his family home; it is now referred to as 'Cornerways' but is often known as the 'Zoo keepers house' as it formed the gateway to the ambitious zoological park it adjoined. The building and grounds provides an exciting opportunity to re-imagine an exceptional detached town home.
