Yew Tree Inn, The Yew Tree Inn, Stock Lane, Chaceley, Gloucester, Gloucestershire

The village of Chaceley lies five miles from Tewkesbury across the River Severn and is a quintessential English village, being based around the Grade II Listed St John the Baptist Church and village hall. The area is well regarded for its fertile farmland and very popular as a satellite village with the inhabitants taking employment in the nearby towns and cities of Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Cheltenham. It sits on the banks of the River Severn which was once a busy thoroughfare for commercial boats shipping goods between the Port of Bristol and Gloucester. It is still busy with a number of recreational boats and sightseeing trips using the river, especially throughout the summer months, and the Yew Tree benefits from this with its moorings.

The Yew Tree is situated in Chaceley Stock at the edge of the village on the banks of the River Severn adjacent to the Avon Sailing Club. It is a substantial detached two storey property which appears to be constructed of both brick and block having mostly rendered and colour washed elevations. It has been extended considerably over the years offering an impressive property enjoying an excellent riverside location.
