Vendors' thoughts: "?Three Itlay has been a wonderful home for our family. From quiet evenings in front of the log burner to barbeques with friends in the secluded garden and beautiful walks from the front door we've made so many memories here. Surrounded by nature, it isn't unusual to see a deer first thing in the morning or hedgehog last thing at night. With Cirencester only a few minutes away it perfectly balances rural tranquillity without feeling remote."
