Swimmer Sharron Davies is to sell two of her properties in Gloucestershire and Cheltenham, it has been reported.

The star, who competed in her first Olympic Games at the age of just 13, lives in a Cirencester townhouse with her husband and three children but told the Mail on Sunday that she is selling two of the properties in her portfolio.

She has now put her £1.75 million barn near Condicote, which comes with a two-bedroom cottage and luxury gym, on the market with Butler Sherborn after letting it out for three years.

"When we first moved out I was too attached to it to consider selling…Now I feel detached enough to put it on the market," she explained, revealing she has also put a two-bedroom flat in Cheltenham up for sale with Pittville Estates.

Ms Davies is planning to snap up a holiday home in the south-west, telling the paper that her husband Tony has "fallen in love with the area".

Earlier this month, she told the Daily Telegraph that she had invested most of her money in property, explaining: "I have always thought bricks and mortar are one of the safest places for your money and I see my property as my pension."
