Regency building restored to former splendour

One of Cheltenham's finest Regency buildings has undergone a major refurbishment at Cheltenham College ready for new boarders.

The four‐storey villa at College Lawn was previously used as office

space, but has now been refurbished room‐by‐room, to create a new girls' boarding

House for day and full boarders.

As part of an ongoing relationship with the college, chartered surveyors and planning consultants Evans Jones have project managed the conversion of the building, from advice on the initial acquisition of the property, the design phase and gaining planning consent, through to managing the project through the construction stages.

Ian Eggleton, director of building consultancy at Evans Jones said: "The College Lawn

buildings are quintessential Regency Villas and have given us a fantastic blank canvas

to work with, restore and enhance, to provide high quality boarding accommodation

that I'm sure the pupils, parents and staff of Cheltenham College will feel proud to

call a home from home.

"We have very much enjoyed the challenge of transforming these grand old buildings."
