Further Information

Description

Once home to a number of farm buildings Willowside Grange is now being transformed to a different arrangement with one new-build farmhouse, two new-build stone semi-detached homes and two new-build Dutch barns.
Traditional finish

The new homes will be built largely of Cotswold stone, re-using some stone from the old farm buildings, to blend in with the surrounding properties and give a traditional country appearance to the outside.
Internally, you can expect a contemporary high specification design and finish, mixed with some of the traditional charm you find in older homes to give a perfect combination for modern country living.

The two completely new Dutch Barns will sit on their own and enjoy commanding views across open fields. Offering impressive indoor living space these homes will also have a modern and sustainable appearance from the outside.
Country living

These outstanding new homes at Willowside Grange present a rare opportunity to own a unique home in a truly fantastic location. Surrounded by beautiful countryside it gives you the best of both worlds - shops and facilities are only a short distance away but the village also allows for a more peaceful and laid-back pace of Cotswold country life.

The location.
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.
