Via Motorways from the North. Exit M4 at Junction 18, travelling south towards Bath on the A46, for around 8 miles.

Drive for about 1 mile, passing Batheaston village centre shops on left to mini-roundabout, taking the 3rd left up the hill, signed to Colerne & Marshfield. You are now on Bannerdown Road, as the road climbs and bends to the left, there is an entrance on left to Little Court through electrically operated metal gates. A car should activate the opening of the gates (at certain times and when we are in) by driving close, but if not use the Doorphone to request entry. Drive through and up drive and park on the gravelled area adjacent to the house.
