Description

Coxwell street is tucked away from the main roads, yet moments from the vibrant and bustling centre of Cirencester (0.2 miles). This characterful Grade II listed house perfectly balances town and country living, in one of the most sort after streets. The shops and Market Place of the town are just minutes’ walk away, as are the gates to access Cirencester Park, bisected by a network of paths and bridleways.

The property was built approximately 1690 and its history can be seen throughout its well-preserved interior, which features exposed beams, original fireplaces, sash windows and vaulted ceilings on the first floor. These are complemented by beautifully appointed interiors which have been fully renovated and include a stylish bespoke kitchen, stone-tiled floors, fabulous wall coverings and contemporary bath and shower rooms.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2024 sq ft over three floors and is spacious and light throughout. The ground floor features a stunning dining hall, complete with open fire and concealed storage, a central lobby with an under stairs cupboard and the kitchen to the rear, which has a door opening to the garden. On the first floor there is approximately a 28ft sitting room with built-in shelving that creates a fabulous library area, plus a bedroom and shower room with WC. The second floor has a further double bedroom, the family bathroom and the principal bedroom which has a useful dressing room.

The handsome double-fronted house is situated directly on Coxwell Street, with a communal alley providing access to the rear courtyard garden. This very charming 'secret garden’ space is paved, creating the ideal space for outdoor dining, and has a number of well-stocked shrub borders containing a variety of plants. On-street parking is available locally with a permit.
