Copper Beech is on the North Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border, close to Meysey Hampton, in the Cotswold hills. The market towns of Fairford and Cirencester are close by and the A419, M4 and M5 are also in close proximity, providing transport links to Reading, Bristol and London.

Local equestrian centres include Rectory Farm Arena (20 minutes), CCR Equestrian (45 minutes), Cherwell Competition Centre (50 minutes) and Hartpury (45 minutes).

There is a south facing area of meadow with a large wildlife swimming pond, sunbathing and dining deck, a lawned garden with herbaceous borders and shrubs close to the house, a south facing dining terrace, a further paddock to the west of the meadow, a ‘secret’ garden with a summer kitchen including a barbecue and pizza oven, and a Mediterranean garden with a water feature. A door leads from the driveway into a walled vegetable garden with raised beds, espaliered fruit trees, and a greenhouse. It is adjacent to a gated dog run and the fenced orchard.
