Vendors' thoughts: “We have throughly enjoyed living at 1 Holm Oaks. The house has worked brilliantly for us and our large family but we also really enjoy the space when it’s just the two of us and the dogs. Being so close to Cirencester and being able to walk to town is fantastic and we enjoy the garden and outdoor space so much in the summer. We will really miss living here but know it will make a wonderful home for another family."
