An attractively presented character home with southwest-facing garden, within a short distance of Cirencester’s town centre.
Description
Situated approximately 0.4 miles to the heart of the Roman market town of Cirencester, this end-of-terrace home is on one of the town’s most desirable roads. The house is built from the typical honey-coloured Cotswold stone and has an attractive double-fronted appearance, with character features including stone carvings around the windows and front door, a slate roof and original fireplaces. Internally the property is beautifully presented to a high standard, with a neutral colour palette for easy personalisation, and there is an extension to the rear providing an attractive, modern kitchen and dining room. The latter is open plan, with ample space for entertaining, and features decorative tiles, ample storage, integrated appliances and a separate utility cupboard which houses the boiler and washing machine. There is also a cloakroom and, at the front of the house, a good-size reception room with modern wood-burning stove.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms on the first floor, one with an en suite shower room, plus a family bathroom with both bath and shower. At basement level, a converted cellar is used as a third bedroom which could equally make a good home office or additional reception room.
Location
The Roman town of Cirencester is often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds and, being at the intersection of the Fosse Way and Ermin Way, it is extremely accessible. Chester Street has a central position easily walkable to the Market Place and the vibrant town centre, with its bustling marketplace, excellent boutiques and restaurants and lovely walking in the Abbey Grounds.
More extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Cheltenham and Oxford, including Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies, Wycliffe and Rencomb, the latter easily accessed via the Cheltenham Road. There are further good schooling options locally in both the state and private sector, including Deer Park and Kingshill secondary schools in Cirencester and Farmor’s in Fairford, as well as Hatherop Castle, Beaudesert and Westonbirt.
A good range of sporting opportunities in the area include various golf courses, racing at Cheltenham, sailing and watersports within the Cotswold Water Park, polo at Westonbirt and Cirencester Park and a number of high-profile equestrian events including Badminton and Gatcombe horse trials.
