PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Built in the 1820s, this Grade II Listed house blends period features and some beautiful details with modern clean lines.
Detached period homes like this are rare in Cheltenham and date back to a time long before Cheltenham grew to the town it is now. There is a grandeur about the main reception room with its high ceilings, side curved bay and three sash windows that immediately tells you this is no ordinary home. That side bay is mirrored in the main bedroom upstairs and the classic double fronted design gives you a reception hall with reception rooms either side. In addition to the sitting room on the ground floor there is a drawing room and a kitchen diner / family space which incorporates a side extension. The extension has a bank of bi-fold doors opening onto the garden with floor to ceiling windows on either side, making this a beautiful modern space to contrast with the traditional reception rooms. The ground floor also offers a utility space off the kitchen plus a shower / wet room with WC.
The impressive hallway leads down to the large lower-ground floor bedroom with built in wardrobes. The staircase also leads up to the first floor landing where the impression of the Victorian wallpaper can be appreciated. This was lovingly restored as part of restoration works that took place a few years ago. Off this landing is the aforementioned main bedroom, plus a second double guest room with feature fireplace and a 4th guest room to the front. There is also a large four-piece family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. There is hard flooring, tasteful wooden panelling and a classic looking sink with a double mirrored cabinet above.
Outside the paved town garden has double gates which allow you to bring a car off-road if you wish. There is also on street permit parking available.
Formosa House is situated just to the north of the town centre on Northfield Terrace and benefits from gas central heating and council tax band C. The property is Grade II listed, Freehold and offered to the market with no onward chain. Viewing is advised to appreciate this unique home.
