Directions - From our Minchinhampton Office proceed to the Market Place, leading into Butt Street. Turn left on the Cirencester Road heading towards Stroud. Continue across the Common and as the road descends on the far side, take the first left, immediately after The Bear Hotel and then immediately left again back along the valley. Follow the lane along the side of the valley and after circa one mile, take a left hand turn just after the allotments into a short no-through road where Ash House will be found, first house on the right.

Location - St Chloe is part of the parish of Amberley, set on a west facing slope, immediately beneath the open expanse of Minchinhampton Common, due south of Stroud. Ash House is ideally located for many beautiful walks and the village has two pubs and a popular primary school. The thriving market town of Nailsworth with its exceptional range of independent shops, including an outstanding delicatessen and an award winning baker, is less than a ten minute drive. Nearby Stroud has a major Waitrose supermarket, as well as several other supermarkets, a multiplex cinema, provincial theatre and mainline station. For sporting enthusiasts there are three challenging golf courses on nearby Minchinhampton Common, as well as numerous cycling, riding and walking routes.

One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector with sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham. Cheltenham has several popular private schools including Cheltenham Ladies and Cheltenham College and there is also Wycliffe in Stonehouse and Beaudesert Park in nearby Minchinhampton. There is also a popular village primary school in Amberley.

The area is well placed for travel links with regular services into London Paddington, (circa 90 minutes) from Stroud Station and both the M5 and M4 motorways easily accessible.
