This room with exposed beams, wood-paneling and limestone tiles is, without doubt, the heart of the house and a great room for entertaining family and friends.
The sitting room has an abundance of period features including an internal picture window through to the boot room, wooden floorboards, beautiful sash windows and an open fireplace.
There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
Upstairs, laid out over two floors, are three bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. The stunning period features continue with superb sash windows in the double rooms and exposed floorboards in the master bedroom.
From the back of the house, a set of oak French doors open onto the graveled terrace area, which lends itself perfectly to outside dining and entertaining.

Vendors' thoughts: "5 minutes’ walk from town. 5 minutes’ walk from the Cotswold countryside. 5 minutes’ walk from Cirencester’s heated outdoor pool. Plus, the easiest school run ever. We’ve loved living in 22 Gloucester Street. So near to everywhere we want to be; yet also a lovely oasis of calm with sunshine all day in the garden. The garden office has been a wonderful place to work and is just as inspiring in its current incarnation as a gym."
