Larger regional centres include the fine spa town of Cheltenham, the Georgian City of Bath and the regional centre of Gloucester. The property is well placed for both access to the M4 at Junction 15 and the M5 at Junction 11a, which provides quick access to the North and South. The Fosseway also provides a direct link to the Midlands. Kemble Station, about six miles, offers a direct First Great Western service to London Paddington, with a journey time of approximately 75 minutes.
