Short answer

Cirencester homes range from wool-merchant stone houses to new estates near Chesterton. The town has four conservation areas, and Cotswold District Council handles planning and listed building consent. Roofers, electricians and heating engineers often meet the same first question here: is the house listed? Check that, then call the firms.

Homes and roofs

Old houses in the centre, such as those on Dollar Street and Coxwell Street, are limestone with Cotswold stone slate roofs. Watermoor has many Victorian and Edwardian houses. Their timber floors make new cable runs easier than in solid stone. New homes on the south-west edge have concrete tiles and modern wiring.

The four conservation areas are Town Centre, The Park, South, and Gloucester Street and River Walk. The council says the district has 144 conservation areas, more than any other district council in England. For a listed house, consent can cover work inside as well as outside. That includes a new roof material, a new cable route or a charger on a front wall. Search the Historic England list before you plan the job.

Scaffolds and power cuts

Many central houses front the pavement, so a scaffold often needs a licence from Gloucestershire County Council. SSEN runs the local power network. Ring 105 in a power cut.

Gas and oil

In the 2021 Census, 73.5 per cent of households in the 8 town wards used mains gas alone. Only 189 used oil alone. Across Cotswold District, DESNZ estimates that 37.4 per cent of homes had no gas connection in 2024.
