Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This beautiful detached studio is a dreamy getaway for two. It’s located at the end of a cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Cheltenham’s town centre, in a quiet, peaceful spot. You’ll be close to Cheltenham’s Regency architecture, parks, shops, and restaurants, but it’s easy to think you’re in the middle of nowhere. The studio is small but perfectly formed, with a petite dining area and cosy lounge – there’s even a charming private patio and courtyard garden.
