A two-bedroom Victorian character cottage in Cirencester’s vibrant town centre, with fully renovated interiors and a landscaped low-maintenance garden, plus no onward chain.

Description
Situated in the heart of Cirencester within an attractive terrace, this charming Victorian cottage dates back to the 1880s and is perfectly positioned for enjoying all the many attractions of this vibrant and highly sought-after market town. The property has been subject to recent renovations including a newly fitted bathroom, radiators, upstairs carpeting, garden landscaping and full cosmetic redecoration. Currently owner occupied, but has potential for a short-term let based on a previous average annual figure before taxes circa £55k on 60% occupancy. The house is also well suited to professionals, downsizers and first-time buyers.

The cottage has excellent character including exposed beams, limestone flooring, window seat, stone detailing and attractive built-in cabinetry. The sitting room is a welcoming space and is warmed by a wood-burning stove which sits atop the original tiled hearth. There is also a useful area under the staircase for desk/home work-space. Bespoke plantation-style shutters provide privacy while letting in natural light. To the rear, an extended kitchen and dining room is fitted with full height and base cabinetry with quartz worktop and breakfast bar, a number of integrated appliances including dishwasher and fridge/freezer and freestanding Rangemaster oven with gas hob. Premium additions include a boiling water tap. The dining area has thermostat controlled under-floor heating and is lit from above by a roof lantern and opens out to the rear garden via glazed French doors, opening the space up for entertaining in the warmer months. Adjoining the kitchen there is a useful combined cloakroom and utility room where the washing machine is housed in a bespoke fitted unit with shelving & useful storage.

The Principal bedroom on the first floor has original oak flooring beneath the carpet, fitted wardrobes, a separate storage cupboard with shelving, the original cast iron fireplace and a refitted wet bathroom completed in 2025 including a freestanding bathtub within a half vaulted ceiling, fitted oak vanity unit and a glass-panelled shower area. There is a further bedroom on the second floor which benefits from a vaulted ceiling and mezzanine storage area, its own basin and Velux windows fitted with blackout remote controlled blinds.

The property is situated between two council car parks, the Old Station Car Park and Sheep Street Car Park – both pay and display with season tickets available. To the rear, the delightful town garden predominantly walled in Cotswold stone with raised borders around the edges stocked with shrubs and an apple tree, a paved patio and a lawn laid to low maintenance astroturf. Unobtrusive lighting allows entertaining after dark and there are two power points and an outside tap. A timber shed provides useful garden storage.
