Cheltenham Area Guide

Given its close proximity to the A40 and easily commutable distance to Gloucester and Worcester, as well as being the home of GCHQ, Cheltenham is a great location to call home in terms of its accessibility. With cities including Birmingham and Bristol within reaching distance, and Oxford not a long way away either, this beautiful town on the edge of the stunning Cotswolds is ideal.

A hub for history

Known as a spa town due to the discovery in 1716 of mineral springs, Cheltenham has since become a home to various cultural festivals and events, including the Cheltenham Literature, Jazz, Science and Music festivals, as well as the Cricket and Food & Wine festivals too. There is also the annual Cheltenham Festival, a four-day horse event that culminates in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Whatever time of year, there’s always plenty going on in Cheltenham culturally and socially.

A home for architecture

Cheltenham is also lucky to boast a variety of different architectural styles throughout the town. From Regency buildings - such as Cheltenham Town Hall - to the Grade I listed buildings that surround Montpellier Gardens, through to modern homes, there is a huge variety of houses and homes throughout, and always plenty to choose from on Peter Ball & Co’s website. Why not take a look?
