The Village

Shuthonger is a small village just north of Tewkesbury on the main A38 trunk road although the property is set down a side lane away from traffic noise. Access to the national motorway system is just one mile away leading in all directions. Communications are excellent with the railway station just a few miles away and major hubs at Worcester, Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa, all circa 12 miles away, and Cheltenham also being well known as a major shopping centre and for its racing. The property is also just one hour to both of Bristol and Birmingham International Airports and for private pilots, Gloucestershire Airport is located at Staverton just 20 minutes drive away.

The ancient and picturesque town of Tewkesbury, 3 miles away, offers most day to day services including a large supermarket and is also well known for its magnificent 1000 year old abbey. Shuthonger enjoys a local public house within walking distance.

Although the property overlooks the Severn flood plain, it is on raised ground and floods have never come anywhere near the property, even at the time of the serious floods in 2007.
