Strike While the Iron’s Hot: New Listing – The Old Fire Station

June 20th 2025

KBW’s agency team is proud to launch one of Cheltenham’s most distinctive buildings back to the market – The Old Fire Station, St James’ Square.

Originally serving as Cheltenham’s fire station approximately 120-years ago, steeped in heritage and full of character, the property has undergone a thoughtful refurbishment and is now ready for a new chapter. With standout features including a double-height glazed atrium, exposed brickwork, spiral staircase, and striking bifold doors, the building blends historic charm with modern potential.

Offering approximately 3,368 sq ft GIA across three floors (plus basement), the space lends itself to a wide variety of uses (subject to planning), including retail, leisure, studio, or continuing its most recent use as a bar/restaurant.

Positioned not far from Cheltenham’s famous tree lined shopping street, Promenade, and surrounded by established names such as Muse Brasserie, Steamhouse Bagels, and The Tavern, The Old Fire Station enjoys a central location. It also benefits from a premises licence and flexible internal layout — including a potential self-contained apartment on the top floor — making it one of the most versatile commercial opportunities currently available in Cheltenham.

Richard Knightley, Laura Hatten, and Abby McCaffrey from KBW’s Commercial Agency team are excited to be handling the letting and encourage early enquiries to avoid disappointment.

Available to let on a new FRI lease at £65,000 per annum exclusive. Other terms to be negotiated.
