4 Situation Middle Farm House is situated on the southern edge of the village of Ashton-under-Hill. Situated on the southern side of Bredon Hill, it is in a sunny and glorious position. Ashton-under-Hill is a pretty village with a mixture of Cotswold stone houses and traditional timberframed homes. There is a church, a public house and both a primary and middle school. The middle school is now an academy and Bredon Hill Academy has a strong reputation. For everyday needs, shopping and services can be found in the market towns of Evesham and Pershore, whilst business needs can be met in the, larger cultural and shopping centre in Cheltenham, approximately 12 miles to the south. Regular trains run from Evesham and Moreton-in-Marsh to London/ Paddington with a regular commuter service from Tewkesbury Station to Birmingham.
