Property description

Situated on Pittville Circus, a very popular leafy residential suburb of Pittville. Apsley Lodge sits well back from the road behind mature hedging and trees. Accessed via a sweeping gravel drive which creates parking for several cars.
The flexible accommodation is laid out over four floors and represents a lovely family home with light and spacious accommodation. There are many fine period features throughout such as working shutters, deep skirting, period fireplaces, sash hung windows and high ceilings.

The raised ground floor entrance has a handsome staircase to the upper floors and leads to the lovely drawing/dining room which is flooded by light from the two large sash windows (with working shutters) overlooking the Circus. There is a wood burning stove, marble fire surround and attractive plaster work detailing. The kitchen is located at the back of the house and has a four oven gas aga along with a range of fitted cupboards and granite topped island. There is a walk-in pantry and access to the garden via stone stairs.
On the first floor there is a lovely master bedroom overlooking the front with a smart ensuite shower room. There are 2 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level. On the top floor there is a further bedroom and shower room with stunning distant views to Cleeve Hill.
In the lower ground floor there is a further kitchen/utility room (with access to the garden), a cosy sitting room
with wood burner, bedroom and a wet room.
There is a useful log store outside.

The garden to the front is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and hedging. Panelled timber fencing separate the front from the rear with a pedestrian gate. The rear garden is a very private space with a garden room, gravel sun terrace, raised herb garden, pergola and deep flower beds. A paved sun terrace and lawned area created further areas of seating. There is a two roomed coach house currently used for storage but could be converted to further accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consents).

The leafy and very popular residential district of Pittville is renowned for its large ornamental park, lakes and the famous Pump Rooms. Pittville Circus encircles a small central park dotted with a selection of mature trees and surrounded by a number of classical period town houses and elegant villas. The house itself is situated midway between the Town centre and the Racecourse, just a short walk to each and within easy reach of local amenities.

The Circus was laid out in 1839-40 by Cope on land purchased from Joseph Pitt. However the basic layout of the Pittville Estate was designed by John Forbes. Apsley Lodge is later than most of the villas on the Circus, but a significant element in this impressive layout. (Sampson A and Blake S: A Cheltenham Companion: Cheltenham: 1993-: 47,96).
