Hear From Sam Trounson - The Newest Member Of Our Cirencester Team

I embarked on my professional journey in estate agency in 1992, armed with a degree in Land Management from Reading University.
I later deepened my expertise with a diploma in Fine and Decorative Arts from Christie's, which has enriched my understanding of both land and artistry. I proudly hold the title of Chartered Surveyor (MRICS), a designation that reflects my commitment to excellence in the field.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking my two lively Labradors in Cirencester Park and riding our three magnificent horses. Cirencester Park is a breathtaking expanse of landscaped parkland and enchanting woodland, offering miles of scenic paths to explore. As you wonder through its meandering trails, you'll discover charming follies and remarkable monuments.
My favorite pub in the area is The Bell at Sapperton, a charming establishment with a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's definitely my top choice, yet closely followed by The Trouble House at Tetbury, known for its delightful ambiance and excellent fare.
