An exceptional detached family house on one of Cirencester’s most prestigious roads, set within beautifully private gardens approaching a quarter of an acre.

Description

Somerford Road is widely regarded as one of Cirencester’s most sought-after addresses, and this handsome detached house occupies a wonderfully private setting behind electric gates, surrounded by beautifully established gardens of approximately a quarter of an acre. The house is enhanced by a study, large utility room, internal storage room, garage, and an outdoor kitchen.

Immaculately presented throughout, the house has been thoughtfully enhanced to create a stylish and highly practical family home, combining elegant contemporary finishes with excellent entertaining space.

A welcoming reception hall provides an immediate sense of light and proportion. The dual-aspect sitting room is a particularly attractive space, centred around a wood-burning stove and enjoying lovely views over the gardens. A second reception room offers flexibility as either a formal dining room or family room, while a separate study provides an ideal environment for home working.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed, with extensive storage, integrated appliances and space for informal dining. Beyond, a generous utility and boot room offers invaluable additional storage and direct access to the garage. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted storage and a stylish en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms, all with built-in storage, are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The house retains considerable character, with elegant stone mullioned windows that have been sympathetically upgraded with aluminium frames, preserving their traditional appearance while enhancing efficiency and performance.

The gardens are a particular highlight. A bespoke outdoor kitchen beneath a timber pergola creates a superb space for entertaining, complemented by a broad terrace and expansive lawn framed by mature, well-stocked borders. To the front, a substantial gravel driveway provides ample parking and an impressive sense of arrival.
