Whatever your reasons for settling here and wherever you have moved from, we hope your time in this village will be a truly happy one.

  • Cherry Trees Down Ampney, Gloucestershire GL7 an Extended Period Semi-Detached Cottage in a Popular Village
    Cherry Trees Down Ampney, Gloucestershire GL7 An extended period semi-detached cottage in a popular village. Mileage Cricklade 3 miles, 4 2 3 Cirencester 5 miles, Swindon 9 miles (Paddington 55 minutes), M4 (J15) 11 miles, M5 (J11A) 12 miles. [All times and distances are approximate] Location Down Ampney is a popular village on the Gloucestershire/ Wiltshire border, approximately midway between the historic Cotswold market town of Cirencester and the thriving commercial centre of Swindon. The village, which was the birthplace of the composer Vaughan Williams, has a community-run village shop/post office and cafe, a parish church, primary school, children’s playground and tennis courts. Cricklade provides the nearest shops, whilst Cirencester provides a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities. The larger centres of Swindon, Cheltenham, Bristol and Bath are all accessible. Down Ampney is on the edge of the Cotswolds and enjoys all their magnificent scenery. There are good local primary, senior and Grammar schools nearby The Property Cherry Trees is an attractive semi-detached Cotswold stone cottage with origins dating back, we believe, around 150 years or so. It is not listed and has been substantially extended over the years to create a spacious family home with just over 2,000 sq ft of living accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there are two good-sized main reception rooms: a sitting room which has windows on three aspects, including a deep bay with an arched stained glass panel and a fireplace fitted with a Clearview wood- burning stove, and the family room/playroom/dining room.
