Stratton, Cirencester GL7

Incorporating a sympathetic Victorian addition, The Elms occupies a secluded setting on the edge of Cirencester, enjoying far-reaching rural views while remaining conveniently close to the town centre. The accommodation is spacious and flexible, arranged over three floors, and combines historic charm with carefully considered modern design to create a comfortable and highly adaptable home.

Entered via an inviting porch, the reception hall sets the tone of this property with wonderful flagstone flooring. Access is provided to each four reception rooms and through to the impressive kitchen family space. The drawing room is elegantly proportioned with a large sash window with shutters overlooking the garden.

Within the Victorian extension, which is characterised by high ceilings and large windows, is an impressive dual-aspect formal dining room with direct access to the rose garden. A separate study provides built-in storage, an original fireplace, and garden views, while a cosy snug offers a wood-burning stove, window seat, and useful storage. The kitchen/ dining / family room forms the heart of the home and is an exceptional open-plan space with full-height sliding doors opening onto the terrace. It features oak flooring, quality cabinetry and worktops with integrated appliances. A utility room and boot room provide additional storage and workspace.

The first floor offers five bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with dual sash windows and a contemporary EnSuite bathroom. The bedroom in the Victorian wing benefits from high ceilings and built-in storage, alongside three additional bedrooms, two of which are EnSuite, and a family bathroom. On the second floor are two further inter-connecting bedrooms, a modern shower room with a connecting staircase to the principal first floor bedroom, and a large attic provides excellent storage.

Outside

The gardens extend around all sides of the property, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Approached from Gloucester Road, the property offers ample parking and turning space, alongside a stone-built single garage, a further adjoining stone outbuilding, and a recently constructed triple garage with carport. The rose garden is a particularly special feature, with established planting, gravel pathways, and seasonal colour, reflecting the heritage of the house. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, fruit trees, and well-stocked beds, offering vibrant displays throughout the year. Enclosed by traditional Cotswold stone walls, the grounds provide both security and a quintessentially English garden setting.
