Vendors' thoughts: "We feel very privileged to have been able to enjoy Field Cottage and The Laines for the last forty-five years. Children and grandchildren have relished the freedom to explore outdoors. Of particular note are the far-reaching views and big horizons. The Laines is a haven of only eight houses which offers peace and tranquility with very ready access to facilities in the village of Chedworth and those in Cirencester and Cheltenham. The house has great ambiance with many traditional aspects alongside modern facilities. We have no doubt that new owners will experience similar sentiments."
