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.
There are many enjoyable walks in the area together with an
extensive network of footpaths and bridleways with excellent
riding. Hunting is with the North Cotswold and polo played
regularly at Cirencester Park. Water sports at the Cotswold
Water Park, Racing at Cheltenham, Stratford upon Avon and
