A sympathetically improved town house with walled garden and private parking

Description

Pear Tree House was built in 1820 and offers all the elegance and space of the Georgian era, with beautifully and sympathetically modernised interiors.

The owners have made significant improvements to the house over recent years, including replacing some double glazing and radiators, upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms and adding storage. The deceptively spacious home is attractively appointed in a refined, neutral palette, featuring built-in cabinetry in the reception room, a stylish country-style bespoke kitchen with a variety of integrated appliances and contemporary bath and shower rooms upstairs. These modern additions are combined with the original character features of the home, including original fireplaces and sash windows, to create a tranquil and tasteful environment. The high ceilings and tall windows add to the feeling of light and space.

The handsome double-fronted entrance opens into a flagstone hallway off which is a sitting room with fireplace, fitted alcove bookshelves and cupboards. This is a charming, south facing reception room as is the study which is on the opposite side of the hall and also includes a fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room with snug area, is to the rear and is beautifully fitted with an excellent range of wall and floor cupboards, a double fronted pantry cupboard and a central island unit. Off the inner hall is a cloakroom which doubles as a utility room, and access down to the cellar. Also a side, glazed boot room with underfloor heating. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms (one en suite), two having lovely views. There is also a further smaller double and a family bathroom. Gas fired central heating is installed

Most of the outside space is situated to the front of the house, where there is a pretty landscaped walled garden which faces south, featuring attractive paving, lawned areas, a paved terrace for outdoor dining and borders of varied planting, including trees, flowering plants and hardier shrubs, in a traditional cottage style. A path leads around the side of the house where there is a shed/office, insulated and with power, and a further area for seating. Outside the walled front garden, there is a private gravelled parking space with double gates.

Location

Stratton is an attractive area to the north of Cirencester with its own Post Office and shop, pub, hotel and church, yet within level walking distance of the wider range of amenities in the town centre and situated on the edge of easily accessible open countryside.As such there are delightful walks in the vicinity, particularly through the Bathurst Estate

The Roman town of Cirencester is often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds and, being at the intersection of the Fosse Way and Ermin Way, it is extremely accessible, with virtual dual carriageway access to both the M4 at Swindon and the M5 at Gloucester. There is a fast and regular Great Western train service from Kemble to London Paddington which takes approximately 75 minutes. There is also a very frequent rail service from Swindon to London Paddington which takes about 55 minutes.

Shopping in Cirencester is highly regarded, and off the main streets there are many interesting back lanes with specialist shops; Black Jack Street is a prime example. There are two major supermarkets and The Market Place hosts a twice weekly market and a Farmers’ Market every other Saturday. Sporting opportunities include the Cirencester Tennis Club which is based in the Park together with a cricket club, an open air swimming pool, football and rugby clubs for all ages and the Cotswold Leisure Centre with covered swimming pool. Slightly further away there is golf at Cirencester Golf Club and sailing at the Cotswold Water Park. The Barn Theatre offers first class productions throughout the year,
