LOCATION
Pitchcombe is a charming Cotswold village, largely unaltered over the years. Sheltered in the lee of a ring of wooded hills, the village contains an exceptional number of fine old properties built in the vernacular Cotswold style, echoing the fine architecture associated with nearby Painswick. Ideally located for the major employment hubs in the region: Stroud, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester, Bath and Bristol, as well as the M5 motorway and mainline railway stations for London and Birmingham. The village has a strong sense of community spirit with numerous village events including an annual fete. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools, all within easy reach of Pitchcombe, including Kings School in Gloucester, the Cheltenham Colleges, Wycliffe and Beaudesert Park as well as several sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham. Pitchcombe is surrounded by lovely countryside for walkers and there are challenging 18-hole golf courses in both Painswick and Minchinhampton.
