Directions

In the centre of Five Ashes is a triangle of grass with the war memorial on it which is opposite the school. To the left is Spring Lane but on the main road by the pedestrian crossing is the drive up to the property. You may find it easier, until you know the way, to park opposite and walk up to the house.
