Description
Pitmans is a rare Cotswold country property extending to approximately 12.9 acres in the sought-after village of Lower Swell, with frontage to the River Dikler and planning consent for the conversion of three agricultural barns into individual homes.
Set within its own land, the property enjoys an idyllic position surrounded by open countryside, where mature trees frame the landscape and the river winds gently through the grounds. The land extends in a single ring-fenced parcel, creating an exceptional sense of privacy, space and connection to the surrounding landscape.
At the heart of the estate sits the existing house alongside a collection of three agricultural barns. The house enjoys an attractive outlook across its own land and presents an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke country home. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, there is potential to extend, remodel or reconfigure the accommodation to suit individual requirements, complementing the considerable opportunity offered by the approved barn conversions.
Planning permission has been granted by Cotswold District Council (under application reference 25/03050/FUL) for the change of use of agricultural land to residential and the conversion of three modern barns into residential dwellings with associated garaging. The approved scheme comprises Barn One, a four-bedroom home with garaging; Barn Two, a three-bedroom home; and Barn Three, a four-bedroom home.
The consent provides exceptional flexibility, whether creating a family compound, guest accommodation, private residences or an income-generating opportunity, depending on the purchaser's vision.
The River Dikler and surrounding meadows provide a beautiful natural setting and a haven for wildlife, bringing colour and interest to the landscape throughout the seasons.
Lower Swell is one of the North Cotswolds' most sought-after villages, lying just over a mile from Stow-on-the-Wold. Characterised by handsome Cotswold stone houses and surrounded by rolling countryside, it offers a quintessential village setting with excellent access to Cheltenham, Oxford and London. Opportunities of this scale are exceptionally rare, combining river frontage, substantial acreage and valuable planning consent in one of the Cotswolds' most desirable locations.
