Park Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7

A magnificent double-fronted Georgian character property with extensive accommodation in the heart of Cirencester’s vibrant town centre.

Description

This is the first time this property has been on the market as a residential property for over 150 years. It has a prime position in the historic centre, amongst Cirencester’s excellent restaurants and independent stores, this Grade II-listed Georgian property offers an amazing amount of space and character. The property dates back to the early 17th century, formerly offices and now a private residence. The versatile accommodation is deceptively spacious and extends to more than 7000 sq ft over four floors, with the added benefit of a separate annexe; there is excellent potential as a large family house with room for an au pair, housekeeper or older children living at home.

The house is one of the town’s most striking properties and is notable for its lovely character features, sash windows, a striking front door with fanlight window, original fireplaces and panelling with exposed beams. The interiors have been given a modern facelift that is in keeping with the age and style of the home, using heritage colours and natural materials.

The main house is entered onto a sizeable hallway, with two reception rooms at the front in addition to a snug, study, dining room and kitchen to the rear with cabinetry by British Standard Cupboards (Plain English) and a walk-in cold store/pantry. Service accommodation includes a boot room, pantry, two cloakrooms, an office and utility room; there are additional stores and storage space with cellars at basement level. The first floor has five bedrooms, all of which are en suite, with a further two bedrooms, one en suite and a family bathroom on the second floor. Accessed from a separate wing of the house is a first-floor apartment with two bedrooms, two living rooms, kitchen and shower room.

Outside
The house is situated directly on Park Street, with on-street parking available locally. To the rear there are two attractive walled gardens, featuring ornamental topiary, lavender beds, shrubs and small trees. Paved terraces and gravelled areas provide space for garden furniture.
