Axiom Centre in Winchcombe Street, Cheltenham

Archant

One of Cheltenham’s most notorious eyesores has finally been sold having stood empty for more than a decade following a deal brokered by Bruton Knowles

The iconic Axiom centre on Winchcombe Street was closed in 2000 leaving the period building to deteriorate.

It has now been bought by a Cheltenham developer who is excited about returning the period building to some of its former glory.

William Matthews from Bruton Knowles’ Gloucester office said: “The site has been sold with outline planning consent for 11 residential units and one retail unit. We were determined to see the property brought back to the public realm, providing the modern apartments the town is crying out for.”

Originally a corn merchants, the building comprises three stories and was built circa 1900.

The 13,105 sq ft freehold property was sold with vacant possession.

Wednesday, December 12, 2018 Emma Samms

Swan Lake. We know the music, we know the iconic imagery of the beautiful ballerina dressed as a swan, but I’m guessing that without reading the libretto in the program, most people don’t know the story. Which is why the audience relies on the dancers to tell us.
