Bourton Hill, Bourton-on-the-Water, Cheltenham, GL54

Positioned on Bourton Hill, this is a substantial building plot extending to about 4.8 acres, with full planning consent for a replacement dwelling and detached garage. The site occupies an elevated setting, with uninterrupted views across open Cotswold countryside and a clear sense of space in every direction.

The land is arranged as a generous, well-defined parcel, enclosed by mature hedging and established trees that provide natural screening while preserving the outlook. Access is already established, and the topography is broadly level with a gentle fall, lending itself well to the approved scheme. Sections of the plot have been lightly cultivated, with young planting and orchard-style rows beginning to structure the landscape, while leaving flexibility for further design or landscaping.

Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a high-quality replacement dwelling, designed to respond to the character of the surrounding area while allowing for contemporary living (REF: 23/04022/FUL) The proposed house is positioned to take full advantage of the views, with principal rooms oriented towards the landscape and a clear relationship between the internal spaces and the garden. Consent also includes a detached garage and associated works. Previous permissions have explored alternative iterations of the scheme, offering a degree of flexibility for a purchaser, subject to the usual consents.

The setting is distinctly rural, surrounded by farmland and open countryside, yet remains accessible and well connected. Bourton Hill lies within easy reach of Bourton-on-the-Water, one of the best-known villages in the north Cotswolds, with a broad mix of cafés, pubs, independent shops and day-to-day amenities. The wider area offers extensive walking routes across open countryside, while nearby towns including Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh provide further facilities and rail connections to London Paddington. Despite its proximity to well-known destinations, the immediate setting retains a quieter, more open character, defined by its elevation and long views.
