Charming Cheltenham Villa with Cottage

Proudly positioned just 135m from Cheltenham Beach, this charming villa with striking street presence is a celebration of period architecture, and boasts the enormous benefit of a one-bedroom attached cottage with its own entrance from the street, offering wonderful guest accommodation, or the potential to generate an income or set up a separate work-from-home space.

The sand and sea are literally footsteps from your front door, as is the beautiful Balmain Reserve. Cheltenham's local cafes provide a great spot for coffee and treats, while Devonport Village offers more cafes, restaurants, boutiques and the ferry.

Bursting with character and turn-of-the-century design features, the original style has been very much retained over the years and will delight those with a passion for the era, and excite those keen to restore and renovate. Ornate ceilings and chandeliers adorn the interiors, and numerous brightly coloured stained-glass windows let the light stream in, with the turret at the very top of the home showcasing 360-degree views from its glass-walled perch.

The main house offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels. The grand formal lounge is located off the entry foyer, which then flows down into the dining room and the country-style kitchen. There is a single bedroom on the ground level, along with the master with en-suite and front garden views. Two more bedrooms are upstairs, serviced by the third bathroom.

The attached cottage has been crafted in a similar heritage style and is currently configured with a kitchenette, yet another bathroom and a spacious bedroom/living area.

The grounds are paved and populated with delightful potted plants, with well-established hedges meaning easy-care and all the more time to enjoy the beach-side living!

This captivating property is a must-view for lovers of heritage design, those who adore Cheltenham's elegant beachside lifestyle and those who like the idea of a separate space with the potential to generate an income.
