DOLLAR STREET- CIRENCESTER
These beautifully finished townhouses are a stunning example of a full restoration to create the finest houses 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.
External alterations have been kept to a minimum and confined to the rear of the building, including the reinstatement of private gardens, skilfully designed by Portus & Whitton Landscape Architects. Internal alterations have been limited and carefully considered to have the least impact on the historic significance of the buildings, all of which have beautiful Georgian detailing and architectural features, many of which have been uncovered for the first time in many years.
During the restoration, architectural discoveries have included original cornicing and ceiling roses that had been hidden under false ceilings; marble fireplaces that were boarded up; original oak timbers and beams; and a central oval roof lantern, in Pittville style. The renovation has brought 21st century comforts without compromising character. The feeling throughout is one of light and space, with each house fitted with beautiful family kitchens and modern bathrooms with smart fixtures and fittings.
