3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Grade II Listed townhouse beautifully re-designed for contemporary living, with optional commercial opportunity.

Description

RESIDENTIAL ONLY (shop via separate negotiation)

Spaldings is a surprising townhouse for many reasons, seemingly unassuming from the road this Grade ll listed 18th century house actually offers over 2,000sqft of beautifully designed, contemporary living space as well as a large walled garden to the rear with a self-contained shop for sale by separate negotiation (currently let).

The house was bought and developed by the current owners six years ago, who have cleverly brought it up to a high specification, offering open plan living whilst preserving it’s Grade ll listed character.

On entering the house there is a hallway with character oak beams and a recessed nook for a console table as well as a large under stairs cupboard for storage. The corridor leads first into the Sitting Room which offers a pretty westerly aspect across the Market Place and is slightly isolated from the rest of the living space, perfect to watch a film or read a book in peace and quiet. There is a feature open fireplace, with potential to install a log burner, subject to inspection.

At the end of the hallway, you then access the rest of the living areas. Directly in front of the corridor is currently used as a Workshop, however, it would lend itself well to a large utility or dog/ boot room as there is direct access out to the garden. The downstairs WC is cleverly designed, leading to a utility cupboard with the potential for stacking a washing machine and dryer in built-in cupboards.

The Kitchen/ Dining Room is a wonderful open space with a dining area at one end, equipped with a built-in shelved drinks nook, and the kitchen units and island to the other. There is ample built-in storage and full-stave solid oak work tops along both walls with integrated range cooker and gas hob, full size fridge-freezer and separate under-counter freezer. The island is home to further storage as well as a Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, charging point and bar stool breakfast area. Bi-fold doors open out to steps up to the raised terrace.

Through the Kitchen/ Dining Room is the Office which given its size, would also lend itself well as a Playroom, offering good views across the garden.

The upstairs is laid out over just one floor with a half landing up to the Principal Bedroom Suite to the rear of the house. The Principal Bedroom is a generous size with lovely views over the garden, and with connected dressing room and en suite. There is generous built-in floor-to-ceiling storage in both rooms, as well as space for a dressing table. The spacious en suite bathroom includes fitted cabinetry with solid oak countertops and a large shower with glass doors and nook.

Off the main corridor are the two further king-size bedrooms; both with impressive high ceilings and original features like beams and fireplaces, the rooms have large windows with views across the Market Place.

There is an impressive family bathroom, with original oak window lintel and nook features, cleverly fitting both a generous freestanding bath and large walk-in shower. The first floor is completed with a separate laundry room containing a modern unvented gas boiler and hot water tank.

There is a large loft space, offering plentiful storage and the potential for future conversion subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE
To the front is a gated courtyard, with wrought iron railings. The walled garden to the rear is remarkably big for a townhouse. A raised terrace at the rear of the house, perfect for al fresco dining and BBQ’s, extends into the garden; mostly laid to lawn with flower beds along the surrounding wall, containing fruit trees and mature shrubs. Raised beds, shed and magnolia tree at the far end.

COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION
Attached to the house, with separate independent access, is a small commercial unit currently let as a successful barber shop. The shop has large display windows facing the market place, and to the rear a small kitchenette and WC.

The unit is tenanted until December 2025 with a current rental income of £720pcm.

Location

Located on the market square, Spaldings is right in the heart of Fairford’s market town. Fairford itself is a most attractive and historic town which straddles the river Coln.

Architecturally, the centre of the town has remained largely unspoilt but, more importantly, Fairford has retained an excellent cross section of shops and facilities including a cottage hospital, doctors surgery, dentist, library, primary school and a highly regarded secondary school. At its heart is the magnificent St Marys Church which adjoins the High Street where most of the shops are situated.

The countryside to the north of Fairford is extremely attractive and is widely regarded as having some of the most outstanding scenery to be found in the vicinity of Cirencester.

Fairford is convenient for the A419 dual carriageway, which allows direct access to Swindon and the M4 as well as Cheltenham and the M5 to Junction 11a.

There are also a wide range of local sporting opportunities including various golf courses, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park and boating on the River Thames.
