5 bed detached house for sale

The Mead, Cirencester, Gloucestershire GL7

9 The Mead is a substantial and beautifully proportioned four bedroom family house with the benefit of a self-contained one bedroom annexe, set within one of Cirencester's most discreet and sought-after central addresses. Developed in 1933, The Mead is an exclusive and peaceful enclave of fewer than a dozen detached and semi-detached houses, quietly tucked away yet just a short walk from Cirencester's Market Place. Number 9 sits in a particularly favourable position towards the end of the road, enjoying a high degree of privacy and an abundance of off street parking. The house offers light-filled, well-balanced accommodation with excellent proportions throughout, creating a wonderful sense of space for both family living and entertaining.
A key feature of the property is the self-contained annexe, positioned to the side of the house. Thoughtfully arranged with its own front and rear access, it comprises a generous living room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom, along with a section of garden that could be enclosed to create a private outdoor space. The annexe has previously been connected to the main house and could be easily reintegrated if required, offering complete flexibility depending on a buyer's needs. Ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or independent living for older children, the annexe enhances the property's versatility while retaining the ability to function seamlessly as one principal home.

Gardens:
The house sits comfortably within its plot, approached via a generous forecourt providing ample off street parking. To the rear, the beautifully landscaped south-westerly facing gardens enjoy excellent afternoon and evening sun. Predominantly laid to lawn, they are complemented by well-stocked mature flowerbeds, creating both colour and privacy throughout the seasons. An outdoor swimming pool forms a wonderful focal point, ideal for summer entertaining.
Gated access to the rear leads directly on to a footpath on Barton Lane, providing a convenient and picturesque route into Cirencester Park, up to Thomas Street and into the centre of Cirencester, or a short Walk to Waitrose.
