A site of former farm buildings set in a peaceful Cotswold village surrounded by quaint cottages and impressive country homes. The site will be transformed to become one new build stone farmhouse, two new build stone semi-detached homes and new build Dutch Barns. All brand new but keeping a number of traditional features and offering a range of accommodation. A rarely found opportunity to own a unique home in a truly fantastic location and all built to the highest standards and using highly sustainable materials and methods.
Withington is a small village just 7 miles from Cheltenham and 8 miles from Cirencester and the village itself dates back to 737AD with the village church dating back to the 12th Century. Surrounded on all sides by impressive Cotswold countryside and being a well-known location for equestrian users, it givens the best of both worlds with facilities only a short distance away with large centres and yet the village retains a peaceful and more laid back pace of life with country walks and a beautiful village pub.
Each home will look to blend into the surrounding village and will be largely Cotswold stone buildings (with much of the current farm building stone being re-used) so externally the appearance is of converted buildings but all being new build and the modern interiors you would expect from a high quality house builder. Modern kitchens and bathrooms will be blended to create a high specification finish but keeping some of the traditional charm you will find in other older homes. The two completely new build 'Dutch Barns' will sit on their own and have commanding views over open fields and offer impressive accommodation internally and will have the external look of a modern, sustainable home.

Enjoy a fabulous outdoor lifestyle at Willowside Grange with something for everyone.
The small village of Withington is set in a peaceful rural location at the heart of the Cotswolds. Within easy reach of Cheltenham and Cirencester, it is typical of many beautiful villages in the area that enjoy the backdrop of the golden stone and rolling hills (‘the wolds’) that define this part of the country.
Local facilities and history
The village of Withington is part of the rural parish south-east of Cheltenham that also includes hamlets at Foxcote, Hilcot, Little Colesbourne and Cassey Compton. The village itself dates back to 737 AD and has a range of local facilities including a public house, village hall and church.
The Mill Inn, at the heart of the village, is a beautiful, quintessential Cotswold inn with open fires, original features and a popular riverside beer garden, with the River Coln running through, so a big attraction all year round. The ground rises up from the river to form the upper end of the village and here stands the Grade 1 listed church of St Michael and All Angels.
Another site of historical interest nearby, lying just a few miles to the south-east, is Chedworth Roman Villa which provides a unique insight into life during the Roman period in Britain. Rediscovered by the Victorians over 150 years ago the complex of buildings boasts two bath suites with intricate mosaics and a museum of artefacts found during excavation.
Shopping and entertainment
The busy nearby Regency town of Cheltenham offers everything you need from shopping and restaurants to education and entertainment. Sophisticated boutiques and food shops sit alongside larger stores and supermarkets including Waitrose and John Lewis while the choice of top class education options means the town is the envy of much of the rest of the country.
The cosmopolitan Cheltenham lifestyle is further endorsed by a unique festival vibe with annual literature, music and science festivals attracting visitors from across the world. It is also well known for its racing with regular meets during the year although the biggest jump-racing event happens every March at Gold Cup week.
Although within easy reach of the shops and facilities in Cheltenham and Cirencester, the quaint village setting of Withington lends itself to a countryside lifestyle. There are plenty of opportunities for country walks and cycle rides to make the most of the outdoors and explore local footpaths and trails to surrounding villages and beyond. Withington is actually a well-known location for equestrian users and there are a couple of leading national hunt racecourse trainers with stables nearby so horses can often be seen going through the village and sometimes jockeys and stable staff in the pub.
Excellent connections
Withington is ideally positioned in a beautiful country location but with easy access to the A40 (3 miles) to take you either west to Cheltenham or east to Oxford while Cirencester is just 10 miles due south. The nearest train station is at Cheltenham Spa (9.4 miles) with direct trains into London Paddington taking just under two hours.
