Why We Love Firwood
A beautifully finished Cotswold house with extensive gardens on one of the most popular roads in Cirencester.
This beautifully appointed house is located in the highly desirable residential area of Somerford Road in grounds of in all about 0.8 acres. The house has been sympathetically refurbished by the current owners and maintains many of the period features that one would expect of a house of this era.
Furthermore, the property is located within a close proximity to the town centre.
Maintaining many of the original details including fireplaces, wooden floors and stone mullion windows. The house perfectly combines traditional finishes with modern design and is finished to an exacting standard throughout. The lateral layout is configured over just under 4000 square-foot of living accommodation and works perfectly for modern family living as well as entertaining on a formal level.
Moreover, the property has ample doors to the outside, which, combined with a South-facing Orangery, means that this is a year-round home to be enjoyed by the entire family.
Beautiful Gardens
The gardens of Firwood are a real asset, offering a lovely mix of formal bedding, lawned areas and mature trees, which together create a beautifully balanced and established setting. The house, which sits well within its generous plot, is approached along a sweeping driveway, giving a real sense of arrival and approach. The south-facing garden at the rear has a broad, paved terrace, which is wonderful for summer dining and entertaining. Moreover, it features a very attractive, recently refurbished swimming pool, with a sun terrace and contemporary garden room, as well as a sauna and gym.
Out and About
Somerford Road is a highly sought-after street in the historic centre of Cirencester, just a 15-minute stroll from the market square, which comprises a pretty mix of period buildings and predominantly 18th-century stone town houses.
Much of central old Cirencester is owned by the Bathurst estate, making it a rare opportunity to purchase a private house in this area. The location offers a wide choice of amenities within easy walking distance, with boutiques, independent shops including family butchers Jesse Smith & W.J. Castle, and fantastic pubs and restaurants, such as Sam and Jak’s. A local farmers market is held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month, and the town has several supermarkets, including a large Waitrose. The Pig in neighbouring Barnsley is within a 10-minute drive.
Located within the Cotswold AONB, the town is surrounded by glorious rolling countryside with superb walking routes on its doorstep. Some beautiful nearby valleys provide views and host rare flora and fauna, including native orchids.
There are excellent riding opportunities, with bridlepaths in and around Cirencester Park, where it is possible to ride all day and barely cross a road. In addition, there is easy access to both Cirencester Park Polo Club and Westonbirt Polo Club. Further sporting opportunities in the area include Cheltenham Racecourse, water sports at the Cotswold Water Park, padel at Elkstone Studios and a good availability of golf courses, tennis clubs and shooting facilities.
