Description

A beautifully proportioned Victorian townhouse with four bedrooms and delightful interiors on a desirable road within a third of a mile of the town centre.


Description

Nestled within an elegant terrace, this attached four-bedroom townhouse is a short distance from the town centre and adjoins a conservation area, with parks and greenspaces on the doorstep including St Michael's park only 0.2 miles away. This Victorian home has undergone extensive modernisation in recent years, including a new extension, roof and en suite bathroom, and updated kitchen and family bathrooms, utility room and new boiler, insulation, and a wealth of cosmetic updates. The ground floor has been opened up, creating a bright and airy living space. A sympathetic restoration of the original fireplace is coupled with a Victorian-style door into the sitting room and complementary tiles of the era in the hallway; the décor is respectful of the age of the property, retaining its great character. Generous proportions and bright, open interiors make the house feel airy, modern and full of light.

The sitting room and dining room are connected by double doors, so the living area downstairs can be completely opened up, or a living room created separate to the dining room and kitchen. The latter features stylish cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances. French doors open to the rear garden and at the back of the house there is a utility room with cloakroom/WC. The first floor has a large principal bedroom with views from tall double windows overlooking trees and Cotswold stone houses, an en suite bathroom with WC, a smaller double at the rear and a large family bathroom/shower room, with a further two double bedrooms on the second floor, one of which is currently used as a study. This modernised property creates the ideal home for couples or families.

Outside
This attractive townhouse forms part of a handsome terrace with unrestricted on-street parking available locally. To the front, a walled courtyard with flowerbeds leads to the front door, while to the rear a delightful town garden has been landscaped to include a secluded paved terrace adjoining the house, with mature trees providing a high degree of natural privacy. A lawn, flanked by established flowerbeds and borders, extends to a versatile area at the rear, currently covered with bark as a children's play area but equally suitable for a summerhouse or vegetable growing. The garden enjoys exceptional privacy and includes a side gate providing access to an outbuilding and the adjoining street.

A versatile outbuilding, available by separate negotiation, previously used as a workshop and store, offers excellent potential for renovation. It can be rebuilt or extended under permitted development, making it ideal for a home office, studio, or additional storage.

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. Watermoor Road is a popular street just outside the town centre, about 0.3 miles from the Market Place. The town has a plethora of excellent boutiques and restaurants and has a number of open green spaces, including Cirencester Park, the Abbey Grounds and St. Michael’s Park.

More extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Cheltenham, Swindon, Bristol 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 plus a number of high-profile equestrian events including Badminton and Blenheim horse trials.

Communications are first class with a direct service from Kemble (approximately four miles) to London Paddington taking approximately 75 minutes. Both the M4 and M5 are easily accessible via the A417/A419 dual carriageways.
