"Our town was famous for TOILETS - now it's the hippest place in the Cotswolds"

Residents in a town famous for being the birthplace of the modern TOILET are feeling flush for having the hippest postcode in the Cotswolds.

Shipston-on-Stour in Warwickshire sits in the middle of the highly sought after CV36 postcode.

It is located just ten miles north of posh Chipping Norton – home to celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson and David and Victoria Beckham.

Estate agents have reported that CV36 is enjoying a property boom with prices reaching 40 per cent higher than neighbouring areas.
