Description

Preston Place was originally built as a vicarage in 1818 by William Bridges of Cirencester and has been lovingly refurbished and tastefully decorated to create stylish, contemporary family living, within the charm of a historic home.

Well positioned in the centre of the village, the approach to Preston Place is through a set of stone gates up a gravel driveway providing excellent views of the house and the gardens. When entering the house via the very handsome front door, your attention is drawn straight to the flagstone floor and striking staircase. The principal rooms are approached off this impressive entrance hall. Both the dining room and drawing room are of wonderful size and boast beautiful south-facing views over the front lawns. These rooms maintain many original features including high ceilings, large sash windows with working shutters, attractive fireplaces and original floorboards in the dining room. Off the dining room is the summer room which benefits from an abundance of natural light with views across the gardens. The house is well laid out to provide also excellent entertaining & living space.

The large double doors lead onto the drawing room and then into a further snug which could be used as further entertaining space, or a family TV room with the French windows giving access to the gardens and overlooking the Wisteria.

The kitchen is the heart of this home, with handmade units from Stroud furniture makers and a five-door electric Aga as well as a gas range cooker. Following on from the kitchen there is a large larder, snug/music room, boot room with extensive carpentry, and a large laundry room. Finally, the back door leads past a bathroom with a shower for the pool and then out to a well-stocked herb garden.

The property has two staircases. Ascending the floating staircase you’ll find the first floor with 3 large double bedrooms, principal bedroom plus a study which could be either a 4th bedroom or dressing room for the principal. The spacious principal bedroom has been decorated to encourage light into the room and has built-in wardrobes. The adjacent large bathroom has been modernised with extensive marble wall and floor fixtures, double sinks, and a double shower. There are a further two bathrooms on this level which have equally been sympathetically modernised.

On the second floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and a double shower which would make for a great children’s/teenager’s area.

The fully maintained gardens and grounds at Preston Place extend to 2.42 acres and are made up of formal lawns, fabulous herbaceous borders and a paddock to the rear. At the front of the house there is a well-kept astro-turf tennis court. The private swimming pool is to the rear of the house within the walled garden and is accompanied by a pool house which makes for a wonderful outdoor eating space with an open fire BBQ area. There is also a changing room and plant room.

The Coach House is a fantastic addition which has been converted into a large apartment with an open-plan kitchen living space, bedroom and bathroom. There are two garages below and the original stables.

Preston Place is available from the 1st of December 2024. Pets are welcome on request. Flexible tenancy lengths are available. Fully furnished but can be flexible on request. Garden maintenance is all covered by the landlord.


Location

The village of Preston is conveniently located about 2 miles from the country town of Cirencester. The village consists of a mixture of period and modern houses with a church and village hall.

Cirencester, often referred to as the ‘Capital of The Cotswolds’, provides excellent boutique shops, restaurants and two supermarkets, including Waitrose. The town was mentioned in the Doomsday Book and traders still set up their stalls every Monday and Friday.

Contributing to the area’s appeal are the convenient transport links with easy access to the M40 via the A40 and to the M4 via the A419. There are also train links from Kemble Station (about 4 miles) to London Paddington in about 75 minutes. The area is well-situated for some of the best schools in the country in Cheltenham and Oxfordshire.

Local leisure activities include cricket at the Bibury Cricket Club, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, boating on The River Thames, golf at Burford and Cirencester, polo at Cirencester Park, trout fishing and superb walks throughout the surrounding countryside.
