Access to Carfax Court is through two stone piered gateways on the Durdham Park frontage, and additional pedestrian access direct to the Downs.

Gravelled drives give access to garages and parking spaces available on a first come first served basis.

The grounds are enclosed by a fine old stone wall with grassed areas, specimen shrubs and the retention of many mature trees.

All service areas such as refuse stores, boiler rooms and intake rooms are carefully concealed within the development so that the maintenance of essential services may be carried out as unobtrusively as possible.

Located in a peaceful spot, backing onto Durdham Downs and just a short distance from the amenities on Blackboy Hill and so to Whiteladies Road and similarly to Waitrose and the Orpheus Cinema in the opposite direction.

There is a bus stop on Westbury Road which is just a short stroll away from the apartment.
