Why it matters in Leckhampton

Leckhampton has 1920s-50s housing along the Bath Road corridor with some Victorian properties and newer developments near the hill.

Leckhampton properties near the hill have higher exposure to weather, with bathrooms on external walls needing extra insulation to prevent condensation.

Beneath Leckhampton Hill, this popular Cheltenham suburb features beautiful period and modern homes that benefit from expert bathroom design and fitting.

Pro tips for bungalow bathrooms

  • 1If the owner is over 60, design with future accessibility in mind even if not needed today — fold-down seat blocking, level access, raised WC pan
  • 2Convert to a wet room or level-access shower while the floor is up — it's the perfect property type
  • 3Replace the loft cold tank with a combi or unvented system — frees up loft space and improves pressure
