The Moate, Oaks Lane, GL18 1JP

AGENTS NOTE

The property has been in the Cutter family for over 100 years and therefore this represents the first time it has been available on the open market for over a century.

The towns of Newent (2 miles) and Ross-on-Wye (8 miles) provide an excellent selection of shopping, recreational and educational amenities. More extensive facilities are available in the Cathedral City of Gloucester (11 miles).

The property is well situated some 3 miles from the M50 Motorway (Junction 3) which ensures excellent road communications throughout the United Kingdom.

DIRECTIONS
From Junction 3 of the M50 Motorway take the B4221 Newent road for about 2 miles and at Kilcot turn right signposted Aston Ingham. Proceed along this road for about one mile and in the village of Aston Ingham turn left into Oaks Lane.
