5 bedroom detached house

Canmore House is situated along Berkeley Road, a quiet cul-de-sac leading off Somerford Road and is renowned as being one of the most sought-after residential areas in Cirencester. It has the combined benefits of being close to open countryside, as well as being within healthy walking distance of schools, local shops and the town centre. Canmore House is one of the original houses on Berkeley Road, built by the Berkeley family sometime in the early 1920's. The Berkeleys were a highly regarded local firm of builders in operation around the turn of the last century, who were responsible for most of the significant houses built in and around Cirencester at that time. Canmore House is constructed in a traditional style of natural Cotswold stone under a tiled roof and has been extended a number of times over the years to create this fabulous family house. The current owners have carried out extensive improvements to the house over the last five years, including replacing two bathrooms, upgrading the central heating system and most importantly, relocated and created the fantastic kitchen/dining/living room, with an extension designed by an architect, incorporating a pizza oven, under floor heating and a wall of sliding glass panels opening directly on to the garden. The sleek high specification kitchen units have composite worktops, integrated Neff and Miele appliances and a central island unit. The accommodation, which is well presented, has a lovely light and airy feel and is arranged over two floors, extending to just under 3400 square feet in total. There are three good reception rooms and a generous study on the ground floor, and one of the reception rooms, the family room, has an adjoining shower room and could easily provide a ground floor double bedroom suite, if required. Equally, one or two of the five double bedrooms upstairs could be used as home offices or other purposes depending on requirements. Outside, the house is set back off Berkeley Road, behind a Cotswold stone wall and has an in-and-out gravel drive which provides parking for several cars in front of the house. There is space for a garage to one side of the house, if required, subject to obtaining the relevant consents. The garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property and lies mainly to the rear of the house. It is an excellent size and is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed by some fruit trees and has shaped herbaceous borders and a paved sitting area strategically placed to catch the last of the sun. The garden is enclosed by a mixture of fencing and contains a summer house and a useful garden shed. Immediately abutting the rear of the house there is a deep paved terrace from which there is direct access into the kitchen and sitting room and which provides an ideal place for outside entertaining. The whole plot measures 0.38 acres.
