    About this property

    • Extending to approximately 0.537 acres, the site benefits from full planning permission (c) for the construction of a detached village house of 2194 sq.ft.

      Self build opportunities of this nature are increasingly difficult to find. New build housing within the Cotswold National Landscape is tightly controlled and the supply of individual building plots in established villages such as Bourton-on-the-Hill is extremely limited.

      The approved design provides well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living space, a separate formal living room, an en suite bedroom, study, utility and WC. On the first floor, the beautiful principal suite enjoys views over the garden and surrounding countryside, alongside two further generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout would suit a range of buyers, whether as a principal home, a downsizer or a lock up and leave Cotswold home.

      A particular feature of the property is the size and setting of its plot. Extending to over half an acre, it offers ample space for considered landscaping, garden design and outdoor entertaining, alongside uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. With planning permission already granted, buyers have both certainty and the opportunity to tailor elements of the approved scheme to their own tastes, subject to the necessary consents.

      The plot provides a prospective purchaser their very own opportunity to self build their home.

      The approved scheme has been designed by Mackenzie Miller Homes, a local housebuilder within the Cotswolds.

    An increasingly rare opportunity to create your dream house in a fantastic village!

    Local information

    • Bourton-on-the-Hill is a hillside village lying on the eastern slopes of the Cotswold escarpment overlooking the Moreton Vale. Situated approximately 3 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Hill offers the perfect mix of peaceful village life, with easy access to wider amenities. On your doorstep, the award-winning Horse & Groom, run by incredible duo Nathan Eades and Liam Goff, is a Donnington pub rightfully adored by locals. Architecturally, the village has a beautiful mix of sixteenth and seventeenth century cottages, the Norman Church of St Lawrence, and an active village hall in the Old School.
    • There are many excellent schools in the area including Kitebrook, Chipping Campden, Cheltenham Ladies and Cheltenham College, Tudor Hall and Bloxham near Banbury.
    • Mainline railway services are available from Moreton-in-Marsh railway station, providing regular trains to Oxford and London Paddington (trains from 84 mins to Paddington).
    • Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold provide a wide range of day-to-day facilities. Moreton-in-Marsh has a mainline rail station serving London/Paddington. Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham provide further cultural and recreational facilities, together with excellent independent and state schools. The general area is ideal for riding and walking within countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
    • The Cotswolds is an exceptional place to live, with a remarkably varied calendar of sporting, cultural and culinary events throughout the year.
