The perfect ingredients:  convenience, character and charm

Combine the charm of the Cotswolds with the comfort and quality of a modern yet traditional new home. Add a rural location and quick links to one of England’s most appealing Regency towns and you have Partridge Corner: a delightful collection of three-bedroom and two-bedroom homes in Birdlip.

Birdlip sits at the top of the north-west escarpment of the Cotswolds and enjoys commanding views across the Vale of Gloucester. It is an area rich in history and natural beauty but at the same time is conveniently located for shopping, leisure and transport links.

The village, and Partridge Corner itself, sits on the Roman Road between Gloucester and Cirencester. There are Roman villas at Great Witcombe and Chedworth, but this landscape offers treasures dating back even further: Iron Age hill forts, Bronze Age stone monuments, Neolithic long barrows and burial tombs.  

Crickley Hill Country Park is on the doorstep and the Cotswold Way, a footpath running the length of this outstandingly beautiful area, passes through the village. Just three miles away is the Cotswold Hills Golf Club and on the village outskirts is The Golden Heart Inn, crowned National Pub of the Year 2009 by The Good Pub Guide. Local National Trust properties include Hidcote, one of England’s great gardens, the quirky Little Fleece Bookshop in Painswick and the romantic ruins of Hailes Abbey.

For young families, a wide choice of excellent independent and state schools abound, including some of Gloucestershire’s leading grammar schools. Birdlip Primary School was judged by Ofsted to be ‘outstanding’ in its most recent inspection. Shopping essentials are available in the neighboring village, Painswick.

Complementing the character and charm of the quintessential Cotswold surroundings, is Cheltenham, just six miles away, which has a style and magnetism of its own. This Regency town was designed for leisure and pleasure and has a chic Continental atmosphere with its tree-lined avenues, colourful parks and pavement cafés. Shopping in Cheltenham is a perfect balance between high street convenience and distinctive boutiques. Enjoy the markets, the three theatres, the racecourse and the festivals. There’s something for everyone and style and elegance shine from every street scene.

With the M5 just five miles away, the M4 a 30 minute drive away and quick access to the train stations in Cheltenham, Partridge Corner is extremely well located for transport links to major cities including Bristol, Birmingham, Oxford and London.

This is country living at its best and most convenient and what better way to enjoy it than from a high quality Banner home.
