LOCATION. Chester Hill House, which has lovely views, is situated in the charming little village of South Woodchester, betw een Stroud and Nailsworth, in the south-west of the Cotswolds. Accessed off a little country lane, South Woodchester straggles along the slopes of a valley and in this part comprises groups of houses and cottages interspersed by small fields and vineyards; the local soil being excellent for wine production. Amongst its other attractions, South Woodchester is popular because of its proximity to a number of good schools especially Beaudesert Park Preparatory school on Minchinhampton Common, the latter also h aving three challenging golf courses. With the A46 in the valley below linking Cheltenham and Bath, this is also an ideal location for commuters with Junction 13 of the M5 motorway about 10 minutes away and Junction 18 of the M4 motorway in the opposite di rection. There are frequent train services into London Paddington with connections via Cheltenham into Birmingham from Stroud Station, the town also having two grammar schools for girls and for boys, an award winning Farmers’ Market and three supermarkets. Nearby Nailsworth is even more convenient with free parking and really good shopping and a choice of excellent restaurants.
