Builders in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham
Building Services in Charlton Kings
We’re a building company based in Gorsley, around 40 minutes from Charlton Kings, working on renovations, extensions and new builds across the parish, from the period houses near Cudnall Street to the larger homes climbing towards the Cotswold escarpment. Charlton Kings sits within the Cotswolds National Landscape, so getting the design right for the setting matters. Our own team runs every job from design and groundworks to the final finish.
House Extensions in Charlton Kings
Kitchen-diners, garden-room extensions, wraparounds and two-storey additions, designed to suit the house and the hillside setting. On sloping plots we plan the groundworks and levels carefully from the start. We handle drawings, Cheltenham Borough Council planning and Building Regulations for you.
New Builds in Charlton Kings
With the Cotswolds National Landscape covering the parish, new homes here are judged closely on siting, height and materials, and the River Chelt and sloping ground both affect drainage and foundations. We work through these at feasibility stage so the design is right before it goes to planning.
Home Renovations in Charlton Kings
Charlton Kings has two conservation areas of its own, Cudnall Street and Bafford, along with plenty of Victorian and Edwardian homes outside them. We renovate period properties with care, keeping original features where they matter and bringing layouts and services up to date. Where consent is needed, we agree the approach with the council first.
Driveways & Landscaping in Charlton Kings
Terraces, driveways, retaining walls, garden rooms and drainage, often on sloping gardens where good groundworks make all the difference. We cover Charlton Kings including Cudnall Street, Bafford, Ryeworth, Battledown and the roads up towards Charlton Kings Common.

FAQ's
Is Charlton Kings in the Cotswolds National Landscape?
Yes, the parish sits within the Cotswolds National Landscape. That means planning decisions look closely at how extensions and new homes sit in the landscape, particularly on higher ground towards the escarpment.
Are there conservation areas in Charlton Kings?
Yes. Cudnall Street and Bafford are both conservation areas. Work there, or on listed buildings anywhere in the parish, usually needs extra consent, which we handle with Cheltenham Borough Council.
Can you build on a sloping site?
Yes. Many Charlton Kings plots slope, and we plan levels, retaining walls and drainage early so the extension or new home sits properly and stays dry.
Do you cover Battledown as well?
Yes. Battledown sits on the edge of Charlton Kings, and we’re familiar with the estate covenants and trustee approval process that apply there.
Do you handle planning for Charlton Kings projects?
Yes. We prepare and submit applications to Cheltenham Borough Council and manage Building Regulations alongside, so you deal with one team.
What kind of projects do you take on here?
Mainly high-quality renovations, kitchen-diner and garden-room extensions, and new homes, where the finish and detail matter as much as the floor area.
Does the Cotswolds National Landscape limit permitted development?
Yes. In National Landscapes, side extensions and cladding the outside of a house generally need planning permission rather than falling under permitted development, and rear extensions of more than one storey are more limited. We check what applies to your house before any drawings are done.
