Positioned between the villages of Forthampton and Corse Lawn, New Barn House is tucked away in a wonderfully private position on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border.

The village of Forthampton is a very pretty rural estate that runs down to the banks of the River Severn. The neighbouring villages of Corse Lawn and Eldersfield are also well known, the latter for the highly regarded restaurant, The Butchers Arms. Whilst distinctively semi-rural the village is highly accessible, with the nearby town of Tewkesbury only 3 miles. A medieval town with a marina, it hosts various annual festivals and offers broader day to day facilities including shops, a doctor's surgery, delightful inns, boutique shops and large supermarkets.

In addition to Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Cheltenham are the nearest major centres, both within a comfortable 15-minute drive. There is a wealth of culture and activities, with a Cathedral in Gloucester and Cheltenham playing host to several highly acclaimed festivals including Music, Literature and Jazz and famous Gold Cup.

The property is well placed for a range of excellent schooling to include private, grammar and state schools. There is a fantastic village junior school located in Corse Lawn and Bredon School is also less than 2 miles away. Other popular schools locally include The Elms Prep School in Colwell, The Downs in Malvern, The Royal Grammar School and The King's Cathedral School in Worcester. In Cheltenham, there is Dean Close, Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies' College.

Communications are excellent with junctions of the M5 and M50 motorways nearby; mainline rail services are available from Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Worcester whilst Birmingham and Bristol International Airports are easily accessible as well.
