Set within the very heart of historic Church Street, Tewkesbury, this exceptional Grade II listed five-bedroom townhouse is a residence of remarkable presence, character, and versatility. Formerly the Old Abbey School boarding house, the property was thoughtfully converted approximately 20 years ago and today offers elegant accommodation arranged over several floors, complemented by a self-contained two-bedroom mews house — ideal for multigenerational living or as an established income-producing asset.
From the moment you enter the main house, the sense of grandeur is unmistakable. A generous entrance hall welcomes you, anchored by a sweeping staircase that immediately sets the tone for the scale and sophistication found throughout. High ceilings are a constant feature, enhancing the feeling of space and light across every level.
The ground floor offers a well-balanced arrangement of living and entertaining spaces. The stylish kitchen-dining room is a standout feature, fitted with trendy green cabinetry contrasted by sleek black wall units extending to ceiling height for a refined, contemporary finish. There is space within the chimney breast for an Aga or large range cooker, along with room for a full-size fridge freezer. An island with breakfast bar seating provides an informal dining option, while ample space remains for a large dining table. A useful utility room adjoins, offering additional storage and space for laundry appliances.
Also on the ground floor is a large front reception room, currently utilised as a home office but equally suited as a formal sitting room or a ground-floor bedroom, offering excellent flexibility depending on lifestyle needs.
Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find a vast and impressive sitting room, rich in character with original floorboards, large sash windows, and a striking feature fireplace — an elegant space perfect for relaxing or hosting guests.
The principal bedroom suite is a true highlight of the home: beautifully proportioned with high ceilings and an indulgent en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, a walk-in rainfall shower, and a dedicated dressing room/storage area, creating a luxurious private retreat.
The second floor accommodates three further double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and filled with natural light. Bedroom two benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
Adding yet another layer of appeal is the substantial basement, currently arranged as a bar, cinema room, and storage space — an exceptional environment for entertaining, socialising, or relaxing away from the main living areas.
Externally, the main house enjoys a charming internal courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. Beyond this, the landscaped garden to the rear of the mews house has been designed for low maintenance, featuring elegant porcelain tiling and a hot tub, creating a private and tranquil outdoor escape.
The two-bedroom mews house is a property in its own right, offering beautifully presented accommodation with a charming kitchen-diner, a cosy sitting room with log burner, two bedrooms (one with en-suite), and a family bathroom. Currently operated as a successful Airbnb/holiday let with approximately 70% occupancy, it provides a valuable additional income stream. The mews can remain entirely self-contained or be easily reconnected to the main house if desired.
Perfectly positioned in central Tewkesbury, the property offers immediate access to the town’s historic charm, amenities, and riverside walks. Parking permits are available via the council for nearby car parks, with limited on-street parking available between 5pm–9pm or for short stays during the day.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, character-rich town residence that seamlessly blends historic significance, luxurious living, and exceptional flexibility — all in one of Tewkesbury’s most desirable locations.
