Cecily Court was built in 1993 and comprises 37 one and two bedroom apartments within walking distance of the market town of Minchinhampton and the popular 500 acres of National Trust common land. On site facilities include resident management staff, a Careline alarm service, lift access, a communal lounge, guest facilities, a hairdresser, communal gardens, and a hobbies room.

This ancient market town sits on the edge of Minchinhampton Common and is made up of pretty stone cottages, many dating back to the medieval wool trade. There is a weekly country market and charming cafes, as well as a butcher, grocer and post office. The town also has a doctors’ surgery, community library, well regarded primary school and a stylish CAMRA award-winning pub, The Crown Inn. The nearby village of Amberley also benefits from a lively Community Shop and Café, located at Holy Trinity Church in Amberley, which is owned by the community and run by volunteers. There are breath taking views from the common, which sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and offers a golf course and excellent walking, riding and gliding opportunities. The National Trust common is also known for its free roaming horses and cows, rare orchids and butterflies – and is home to the famous Giffords Circus every summer. The town’s good looks have also attracted film crews and famous residents, including the Princess Royal, who lives at Gatcombe Park. More extensive facilities are available in nearby Nailsworth and Stroud. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 Miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London.
