General Information

Directions
From our Minchinhampton Office, turn right into West End and then first left into Cuckoo Row. At the far end of this road, fork right towards Minchinhampton Common and then almost immediately left for Box. Continue into the village and Box Cottage will be found on the right immediately prior to a sharp right hand bend.
Location
Box is a well kept secret. It shelters beneath the glorious open expanse of Minchinhampton Common with spectacular south-westerly views. The great majority of its properties are period, with any new development carefully controlled and there is minimal passing traffic on the little lanes that wind through the village. As a community, Box is very much alive, with an excellent local magazine and frequent events taking place in the village hall. Box Cottage is at the eastern end of the village, within walking distance of the historic market town of Minchinhampton. With excellent amenities, Minchinhampton has a general store, butcher, chemist, post office, doctor and dental practices and a popular primary school. Box is surrounded by glorious countryside with many public footpaths and a community owned wood. There are good pubs in the vicinity and three challenging golf courses in Minchinhampton. London is within 2 hours by road and circa 90 minutes by train from nearby Stroud which also has a major Waitrose and other supermarkets. Nailsworth, just down the hill, also offers an excellent range of independent retailers.
