Finding Focus and Wellbeing at the Hawthorns Estate
Published: 18th November 2025
In the search for the perfect office space, many businesses and professionals are shifting away from the traditional office block, preferring instead a more natural and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Nestled in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside, The Hawthorns Estate offers exactly this. Soothing rural charm combines with a comprehensive range of amenities to provide the perfect balance of business and pleasure.
We don’t expect you to just take our word for it, though! We chatted with one of our current tenants, Practice Manager Penny Cook, who was happy to tell us why she chose this unconventional office space over more traditional alternatives and how this has had such a positive impact on her.
Location, Location, Location
Situated just 8 miles from Gloucester and less than 15 miles from Cheltenham, with easy access to the M50/M5 motorway network, the Hawthorns offers the peace of the countryside alongside speedy and effortless connection with the Midlands, the Southwest and South Wales.
For Penny, the location was indeed one of the factors that drew her to the Hawthorns Estate. However, even more important than the convenient access and competitive pricing of a countryside office is something she values so much more – peace and tranquillity.
Enhanced Wellbeing
The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime, so protecting your wellbeing is essential.
Studies show that being surrounded by nature reduces stress and boosts productivity.
Penny’s experience is proof of how calm, natural surroundings can transform your workday. For her, the soothing environment of the Hawthorns Estate beats the often noisy and more stressful experience of a typical, city-centre business setting, and she even goes so far as to credit this with having a very positive effect on her wellbeing.
With something uniquely calming about being surrounded by green fields and open skies, if, like Penny, you too want to reduce stress in your workday, we may just be exactly what you are looking for!
Professional Environment
We feel fortunate to be located in such a beautiful part of the country. What truly sets us apart, however, is our commitment to understanding our tenants’ needs and working hard to meet them.
The Hawthorns Estate offers a modern, well-equipped workspace and high-quality facilities that we are confident will meet the professional needs of most businesses looking for a countryside setting.
Offices of varying sizes, with the option for some to interconnect, make us the ideal choice for established and growing businesses alike. And with our walled garden, barbecue area and waterside conservation area, you can take your work meeting outside of the office and really soak up the nature surrounding you should you wish. Now that has to beat the sterile and impersonal office block, right?
Final Word
Penny sums it up perfectly: ‘The facilities within the office are superb, the rent is reasonable, and the surroundings are just fabulous!”
