Vendors' thoughts: "5 minutes’ walk from town. 5 minutes’ walk from the Cotswold countryside. 5 minutes’ walk from Cirencester’s heated outdoor pool. Plus, the easiest school run ever. We’ve loved living in 22 Gloucester Street. So near to everywhere we want to be; yet also a lovely oasis of calm with sunshine all day in the garden. The garden office has been a wonderful place to work and is just as inspiring in its current incarnation as a gym. "
In a nutshell: A superbly positioned townhouse in the heart of Cirencester with so much charm and character.
