Godfrey Place

LOCATION
Situated in the sought-after village of Upper Rissington, this property enjoys a peaceful setting within a thriving residential community. The village has been greatly enhanced in recent years and benefits from a central hub known as the Village Square, offering convenient amenities including a Co-op supermarket, pharmacy, gym, and a community charity shop. Residents also benefit from a well-regarded primary school, a modern veterinary practice, dance studio, skate park, tennis courts, a welcoming village hall and a social committee hosting a wide range of regular local events. Upper Rissington is ideally positioned between the popular Cotswold conurbations of Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Burford, all of which provide a broader range of shops, restaurants, and educational facilities, including an outstanding secondary school in Bourton, The Cotswold School. For commuters, mainline rail services to Oxford and London are available from nearby Kingham station, while Cheltenham, Cirencester, and Oxford are all within easy reach by car. The surrounding Cotswold countryside offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and other outdoor pursuits.
