Location

One of Inglestone's key attractions is its magical setting. The house is a hidden gem, tucked away along Chapel Lane, yet still within minutes of the centre of Minchinhampton.' The market town of Minchinhampton offers a host of amenities including several popular cafes, a gastro pub, village shop, post office and chemist and superb butchers. Minchinhampton Common offers hundreds of acres of National Trust common land, perfect for country walks and host to a golf course and excellent pub. Minchinhampton has a wonderful sense of community spirit with numerous local events and a thriving town hall which plays host to amateur dramatics and concerts. The market towns of Stroud, Cirencester and Tetbury are all within a short drive and Stroud also has several major supermarkets, including Waitrose, as well as an award winning Saturday Farmers' market.

One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector. Minchinhampton has a popular primary school and there are several sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham. In the private sector, Beaudesert Park is a five minute drive from Inglestone and Westonbirt and Wycliffe are also within easy reach, as well as numerous sought after schools in Cheltenham. The area is well placed for travel links with trains into London Paddington (circa 90 minutes) from nearby Stroud Station and both the M5 and M4 easily accessible.
