Location
Gloucester is the commercial and administrative centre of the County and supports a resident population of approximately 132,538 (2021 Census). It is located approximately 9 miles (14.5 km) west of Cheltenham, 35 miles (56.2 km) north of Bristol, 55 miles (88.5 km) south of Birmingham and 100 miles (161 km) west of London. Access to the motorway network is available at Junctions 11, 11A and 12 of the M5. The link to the M4 is via the A417/419 and a stretch of the road known as the Missing Link is currently being upgraded.

Gloucester Railway Station provides direct services to Bristol, Birmingham and London and both Gloucester and Cheltenham share a local airport at Staverton, approximately 8 miles away.

The property is situated off Estcourt Close, a cul-de-sac accessed off Estcourt Road approximately 1.5 miles from Gloucester City Centre.

Gloucester is known for its extensive history, iconic cathedral, and its role as a significant port city. Gloucester Cathedral, with its impressive architecture and historical significance, is a major attraction.

The City is also famous for The Docks, which together with the neighbouring Gloucester Quays have been transformed into a vibrant area with residential accommodation, an outlet shopping centre, cinema, a wide range of restaurants, and leisure venues.

A number of significant urban regeneration programmes have been taking place in the City Centre including The Forum on the site of the former Gloucester Bus Depot, which will provide a new 4* hotel, offices, residential apartments and a multi-storey car park. In addition, the former Gloucester Debenhams Department store is in the process of being repurposed to provide a City Campus for the University of Gloucestershire.
