DescriPtionKeepers is a wonderful detached, Cotswold Stone house,

situated on the edge of the hugely desirable village of

Withington. The house offers well-proportioned and very well

presented accommodation with formal and informal rooms,

ideal for a family. There is a lovely light kitchen/breakfast room

with 4 oven Aga and a fabulous dining area which overlooks

the private terrace and garden. This is an excellent house that

has undergone a detailed renovation, by the current owner, to

an exceptionally high standard and occupies a fine position on

the edge of the village with the benefit of far reaching views

over the surrounding countryside.

situation anD locationWithington is a particularly unspoilt rural hamlet set within

an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located between

Cirencester and Cheltenham, the village supports a Parish

Church, primary school and a well-known riverside pub,

The Mill Inn. It is set in some gently undulating Cotswold

countryside and Keepers enjoys rural views across open

countryside beyond the garden. The Whiteway, an old

trading route, gives direct access into Cirencester where there

is a good range of shops, schools and recreational facilities.

The A40 provides access to Cheltenham and the M5 to the

west and Oxford and London to the east. The Georgian spa

town of Cheltenham has an excellent range of shops and

is well known for its cultural and leisure facilities. The area has

many unspoilt ancient towns including Winchcombe, Stow-

on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and villages including

Shipton, Chedworth and Bibury and there are many footpaths

and bridleways in the area.

amenitiesThe Regency town of Cheltenham Spa, to the north, provides

excellent shopping and schooling facilities and numerous

cultural activities including the Everyman Theatre and a

number of galleries and museums. It also plays host to a

number of annual festivals including literature, classical music,

jazz, science, cricket and of course the National Hunt Racing

Festival. There are several popular private and state schools

in Cheltenham including Pates, Dean Close, St Edward’s,

Cheltenham Ladies’ College and Cheltenham College.

For those wishing to commute there is a good road access

to London via the A40, M40 and the M5 and M4 motorways.

extensive network of footpaths and bridleways with excellent

riding. Hunting is with the North Cotswold and polo played
