7 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Just a short stroll from Cirencester’s historic town centre, 3 The Avenue is a superb Victorian townhouse that seamlessly fuses grand 19th-century architecture with beautifully judged contemporary design. Behind its elegant façade, the interiors have been sensitively refurbished to celebrate original character while delivering effortless, everyday practicality and luxury.
Throughout, the refurbishment is sympathetic and exacting, retaining key Victorian details (tiled hallway, bays, fireplaces, sash windows and refined cornicing) while enhancing light, flow and function.
The result is a polished, light-filled home with excellent day-to-day usability and an unmistakably period feel.
An impressive central hallway, laid with original Victorian encaustic tiles, sets the tone for the house and its fine proportions. Three reception rooms provide flexible living: two with period fireplaces and generous sash windows, and a third, more intimate, snug, ideal for TV or reading. To the rear, a bespoke kitchen/breakfast/ family room forms the social heart of the home, featuring bespoke cabinetry, a broad prep space, and French doors that open directly on to the garden for easy indoor–outdoor entertaining. A useful back hall leads to a large utility room, which also provides internal access to the garage, keeping household life neatly out of sight.
The first floor hosts three expansive double bedrooms with notably high ceilings and large windows. The principal suite is a luxurious retreat with a generous bathroom featuring a freestanding tub and separate shower, while bedrooms two and three each enjoy smart en suite shower rooms.
On the second floor, three further doubles and a single bedroom create excellent flexibility for a family, guests, or a dedicated home office, served by two well-appointed family bathrooms.

Gardens and grounds:
Approached through impressive electric cast-iron gates, the property enjoys a slightly elevated position behind a handsome stone wall topped with manicured hedging. To the front, extensive paved parking leads to a large garage, creating both convenience and grandeur.
To the rear, a generous paved terrace runs the full width of the house and is accessed directly from the kitchen and reception room, perfect for al fresco dining and summer entertaining. Beyond, the garden has been beautifully landscaped with a mix of mature planting, a neat lawn, and a charming dining terrace beneath a pergola. Espalier trees frame the walled and fenced boundaries, adding structure and privacy, completing this idyllic outdoor space.
