Situation
Withington is a quintessential Cotswold village and homes within the village rarely come to the market owing to its very special rural location yet only 8 miles from Cheltenham and 10 from Cirencester. Known as the capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester is an attractive and thriving market. It provides comprehensive amenities, a hospital and modern leisure centre, as well as several supermarkets including a large Waitrose, and a broad variety of independent shops, boutiques, pubs and restaurants. Cheltenham offers a more comprehensive range of amenities, a lovely café culture and plays host to several festivals. Private and state schools in the area are excellent, such as Cheltenham College, The Cheltenham Ladies' College, Rendcomb College and Hatherop Castle in addition to Kingshill in Cirencester. Good road communications via the A417 dual carriageway for access to Junction 15 of the M4 at Swindon. Direct rail services to London Paddington from Kemble Station (15 miles).
