3 bedroom terraced house for sale

A superb opportunity to purchase a unique three bedroom family home located in a secluded and sought after position within the very heart of Cirencester town close to a range of amenities and facilities including a selection of primary and secondary schools. The property has been in family ownership for a great number of years having been extended in the past to provide flexible and light living space with a full selection of period character features including ornate fireplaces, picture rails and ceiling cornice, original mosaic and quarry tiled flooring and fully operative period sash windows. These period aspects of the house are combined with a full gas fired central heating system and a large selection of built-in storage. Other residents in the terrace have carried out a loft conversion to provide a large additional fourth bedroom with en-suite shower room (this would need current planning permission and building regulation approval). Externally the property benefits form secluded and good sized gardens the rear garden has a large outside dining area to the rear of the house which in turn leads to a lawned garden surrounded by established well stocked flower borders with pathway running the length of the garden to an additional rear seating area with workshop/storage to side and a rear pedestrian gated access. Residents of Purley road also benefit from a residents parking scheme allowing parking 24/7 for residents with a permit. Properties such as this in the town centre are so rarely available we urge early viewing through Cain and Fuller in Cirencester.
