Lynne Rollings MNAEA
Lynne is a Client Manager based in our Cirencester office, guiding clients through every step of their property journey with care and attention. Outside of work, she’s usually busy tidying up after her two adult sons and her dog, Precious – who keeps everyone on their toes with very muddy paws! Lynne enjoys weekends at her partner’s home in Birmingham, never leaves home without her sunglasses, and is probably most often talking about Precious. She appreciates her colleagues for their ability to always make her laugh.

Stephanie McPherson MNAEA
Stephanie is our Assistant Manager based in our Cirencester office, supporting clients throughout their property journey with her approachable, people-focused style. After more than 20 years in retail, she followed her childhood ambition of becoming an estate agent, combining her love of working with people and helping them find the right place to call home. Outside of work, you’ll usually find her at the gym or out on a run, her go-to reset. When it’s time to relax, she turns to Gavin and Stacey, always. If she had to choose an entrance song, it would be either Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison or 500 Miles by The Proclaimers – very different, but both firmly up there for her.

Lucy is an Associate based in our Cirencester office, bringing confidence, drive and plenty of character to supporting clients through their property journey. If she were a cocktail, she’d be a Long Island Iced Tea – strong and good value for money – and her warning label would read, “She’s a bit of a handful.” For Lucy, a great day is instantly improved by Zumba and wine (not necessarily in that order!), and she’s always up for heading out for a dance.

Pippa is a Property Manager based in our Cirencester office, overseeing repairs, maintenance and tenancy matters to ensure landlords and tenants are well looked after. Her go-to lunch is a toasted sandwich, and the first thing she does when she gets home is put her slippers on. She can’t start the day without coffee, is always up for a giggle, and says her most-used phrase at work is something we probably don’t want to know! Pippa would love to be able to play the piano, enjoys a Sunday roast in a warm country pub, and most appreciates the team spirit in the office.

Fairford guide
Fairford is a well located town that sits on a lovely stretch of the River Coln in the Cotswold Hills situated east of Cirencester, west of Lechlade and north of Swindon.
About Fairford
It has origins dating back to the 9th Century and was also an important coaching town on the old London to Gloucester route with some of the Inns and Hotels today, reminders of this bygone era.
There has been a Mill in Fairford since Medieval times, the Mill even gets a mention in the Domesday Book. In 1086 there were actually three working Mills belonging to Fairford Manor, one of which was on the site of the current Mill.
Local amenities in Fairford
Although a small town, Fairford benefits from a wide range of shops catering for everyday needs with facilities including a doctor’s surgery, hospital outpatient clinic, dentist, opticians and library.
The town has a traditional market every Wednesday with a variety of stalls including fish, cheese, fresh flowers and plants, jewellery, artisan foods and much more, along with a continental market twice a year and a festive market for Christmas on the first Friday of December.
There is a good selection of schooling around the area with Fairford having its own pre-school, primary school and secondary school.
Leisure and activities in Fairford
The town has a great community spirit and an abundance of clubs for all ages including sports clubs, environmental societies and art clubs along with many community events like the annual Town Council Festive Market and Fairford Festival which takes place over a weekend. Full of fun and filled with events for all ages, there are fun runs, live music, parades, children’s parties, art and historical photographic exhibitions. Every July, the Royal International Air Tattoo comes to town which is the biggest military air show in the world.
Fairford attracts many walkers, there are short heritage walks around the town along with picturesque walks in the countryside and along the River Coln where there is the opportunity to see kingfishers, swans, little grebe, brown trout and water voles. Cotswold Water Park offers water based activities as well as walking, cycling and wildlife spotting. It also has its own beach and despite its size, 150 lakes in 40 square miles, it’s a well kept secret.
The Walnut Tree Field located in the centre of town has something for everyone with its children’s playground, tennis courts, skate ramp, basketball net, table tennis and adult exercise equipment. Also, Farmor’s Sports Centre offers sports and fitness activities along with fitness programmes to suit people of all ages. The town is also well served with four pubs, one hotel, a great Italian restaurant in the town centre and a number of local cafés.
Transport links in Fairford
Roads running through Fairford connect the town to the M4 or M5 motorway and the closest railway station is Swindon. You’ll find frequent services to London Paddington, Swansea and Bristol Temple Meads.
