When we first visited Formal House, we knew it was different. Character, craftsmanship and attention to detail matter to us—and this building has all three.
Formal House has a fascinating history, dating back to 1897, when it was built as a Victorian warehouse for Barnby, Bendall & Co.- a Cheltenham furniture removals and storage company established in 1839. For generations, the building was used to store and transport people’s furniture and possessions, giving it a strong connection to Cheltenham’s history.
Over the years, Formal House has evolved through many chapters, while its careful restoration has preserved the character and craftsmanship of the original building.
We’re delighted to be bringing beautiful home furniture back into this remarkable building and continuing its story.
