Somerford Road, Cirencester

An excellent opportunity to purchase a one bedroom apartment located in a converted period building on the outskirts of Cirencester town centre close to a full range of amenities and facilities. Bridge House was converted some years ago and now accommodates seven individual apartments all of which benefit from their own character and unique size. No 6 benefits from a fully fitted kitchen, a well appointed recently replaced bathroom and heating via a series of night storage heaters which are complemented by double glazed windows. The accommodation has recently been recently redecorated and re carpeted by the present vendor and we are able to bring this property to the market in immaculate condition and is chain free. The apartment is located at the top of the building and as such benefits from far reaching views to the side and front aspects over the roof tops of Cirencester. Externally, the property benefits from allocated parking in a gravelled parking area located to the side and rear of Bridge House. We urge early viewing of this attractive one bedroom apartment through Cain and Fuller in Cirencester.
