This property presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project or build a new home in a picturesque setting. Located on the outskirts of the charming village of Little Rissington, this site is situated in a peaceful area recognized for its natural beauty and historical significance, being close to the 12th-century St Peter’s Church and within the boundaries of both the Little Rissington Conservation Area and the Cotswold Area of Natural Beauty.
The site benefits from detailed planning permission, allowing for the development of a contemporary residence that will harmonize with its surroundings. The proposed design features three distinct wings—south-facing, east-facing, and west-facing—that will collectively create an inviting living space. With approximately 3,750 square feet of potential living area over two floors, this house is designed to maximize natural light and take full advantage of its south-facing orientation. The planned construction will utilize local Cotswold stone alongside modern zinc cladding, incorporating elements that reflect traditional barn architecture while introducing contemporary design aesthetics.
The location offers various advantages for both lifestyle and investment. Little Rissington is strategically positioned between Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold, both of which provide essential amenities such as shops, restaurants, schools, and recreational facilities. The Cotswolds region is known for its scenic landscapes, making it appealing for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking or riding along local bridleways and footpaths.
Future landscaping plans include a mature hedge along one boundary for privacy as well as the addition of a wrought iron parkland fence to enhance the property's curb appeal. There will also be provisions for an electric car charging point and cycle storage, catering to modern sustainability standards.
Overall, this property not only offers the chance to create a bespoke dwelling tailored to individual tastes but also represents an attractive investment opportunity in a desirable locale known for its rich culture and community spirit.
