DOLLAR HOUSE - CIRENCESTER

One of three beautifully finished townhouses this has undergone a stunning full restoration to create the finest home in the historic centre of Cirencester.  30-32 Dollar Street comprises a set of three elegant town houses originally constructed in the Georgian era during the early 18th and early 19th centuries. The alteration and restoration of the Grade II* building was meticulously and expertly implemented by Architects Charles Mullineux Design, building firm ZOTA, and the current owner. Interior finish by Caroline Borgman Interior Design and Cotswold Grey.

With a keen eye for detail, Dollar House has been finished to exacting standard throughout, with all the period features one would expect such as sash windows with original shutters, original flagstone flooring, an impressive original staircase and beautiful fireplaces which have remained intact and been brought back to life during the extensive restoration program.

The house is well configured, and the lateral space is primarily arranged over three floors which, due to its East/West orientation, has an abundance of natural light throughout the day. As you enter the hall on the ground floor you are immediately aware of a feeling of space. Leading off here is the main sitting room which boasts 4m+ high ceilings and sash windows with their original shutters. This room is perfect for both formal entertaining or indeed more relaxed occasions with a real feeling of calm and warmth. Hardwood flooring complements this room further and ensures utmost practicality. 

The hall also gives access the dining room which, due to a large roof lantern in the centre of the room, is flooded with natural light. This beautiful room is the perfect formal dining space or could double up as a further sitting room should a buyer wish. There is also a door to the patio and access to both the kitchen and the back door/boot room.

The kitchen is always the heart of the home, and this one is certainly no exception. The bespoke, handmade cabinetry and worktops have been meticulously designed to provide a sociable yet functional kitchen for all to enjoy. Included is a fitted American-style fridge freezer, wine fridge, integrated dishwasher, oven, separate combi microwave and oven, warming drawer and large induction hob. The large island in the centre includes a useful and informal breakfast bar and there is plenty of space elsewhere for a kitchen table should a buyer wish.

Off the kitchen is the boot room and back door which leads to the garden. This room is a wonderful practical space with a butlers sink, bespoke joinery and wood burner, perfect for those cold winter days. In addition, the boot room, kitchen and dining room all feature zoned underfloor heating which ensures a cosy ambient temperature throughout the cooler months. Under the main stairs gives access to a cellar with good ceiling height that could be a useful wine storage area.

On the first floor the well proportioned rooms continue with a principal suite at the rear complete with a shower room. There is also a large, opulent dressing room with a free-standing bath, extensive fitted bespoke joinery and exposed vaulted ceiling, giving a wonderful feeling of space. 

At the front of the house is a handsomely proportioned second or guest bedroom and shower room which is complimented by a further dressing area. This floor is also home to a beautifully fitted laundry room, featuring a large sink, bespoke joinery and stone worktops. 

The top floor has two further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study.

Outside there is a large, newly landscaped private garden with a range of planting beds, fresh turf, and terraces, that enhance the mature trees. The garden has been equipped with limestone paving, cobbles and walls that complement the stone of the house. Brass lighting features have been provided, plus the opportunity for a buyer to personalise the garden extensively with further planting, lighting and other features. At the bottom of the garden there is private parking for more than 4 cars, which is accessed via a shared electric gate at the rear of the property.
