Oakley Hall makes an impression from the moment you arrive. The original oak entrance door opens into an expansive communal hall with decorative tiled flooring, stained glass windows and beautifully crafted woodwork. A sweeping staircase rises through the space, while a lift provides convenient access to the upper floors. A large bell remains mounted on the wall — a subtle nod to the building’s former life — adding another layer of character to an already striking setting. The apartment itself is positioned on the first floor and has a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage. The main reception room is wonderfully generous in scale, offering ample space for both seating and dining. Natural light enhances the sense of openness, while a spiral staircase provides an architectural focal point and leads to the bedroom level above. It is a room that feels comfortable as well as impressive — equally suited to entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen is separate and well-proportioned, with space for a breakfast table, making it a sociable and practical part of the home rather than simply functional. There is good storage and preparation space, designed for everyday ease. Also on the lower level is a well-appointed shower room, providing flexibility for guests and enhancing the overall practicality of the layout. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is exceptional for a one-bedroom apartment. Vaulted ceilings create volume and character, while the generous floor area allows the room to feel indulgent rather than compact. Eaves storage adds practicality, and the en-suite bathroom completes what feels like a private retreat within the home. Some items of furniture may be available by separate negotiation.

The building sits within beautifully maintained communal grounds, arranged around a central fountain and framed by mature trees and manicured lawns. The setting feels established and peaceful, reinforcing the sense that this is somewhere considered rather than commonplace. The apartment benefits from its own garage, an adjoining allocated parking space and additional visitor parking within the gated development, combining security with convenience.

Oakley Hall occupies an established position on the southern side of Cirencester, offering a setting that feels private yet highly convenient. Cirencester is a thriving Cotswold market town with a strong mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while the surrounding countryside and nearby Cotswold Lakes provide excellent opportunities for walking and recreation. Kemble Station, approximately four miles away, offers direct services to London Paddington in around 80 minutes, and road links connect easily to the wider region. A distinctive building in a location that balances town, countryside and connectivity.
