A highly individual building plot with consent to build a state of the art residence of approximately 5000 sqft., set in approx. 0.85 acre grounds with a 2.25 acre paddock. The total plot extends to 3.83 acres and enjoys far-reaching views across the Cotswold Hills.

Description
Hillcrest House is an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot which has a planning consent to build a detached contemporary residence of over 5000sqft set in an elevated position. Overlooking the well regarded and highly sought-after village of Bourton on the Hill. The architecturally designed property is arranged over three floors, and it has been designed in such a way to maximise the views. The house will enjoy a wrap around garden and approximately an additional 3 acres of grounds. The design of the property incorporates a number of practical and lifestyle elements, and it has been carefully thought through to maximise the benefits of the location.
The lower ground floor has been designed to provide a multipurpose gymnasium/games room, with kitchenette and shower room and this could equally provide separate internal accommodation for a live-in nanny/au-pair or relative. This floor also provides a boot room/utility room, services cupboard, and further storage rooms.
The upper ground floor is principally open plan in its layout and has been carefully designed to maximise the orientation of the property to take full advantage of the amazing views over the Cotswold countryside. This floor provides a spacious living room and an open plan kitchen/family room and has very much been designed for modern day family living.
The upper ground floor also has a guest bedroom with an ensuite, and double aspect wrap around veranda to make the most of the views. There are 3 further double bedrooms, all with ensuites and their own verandas.
The first floor has the master bedroom, which enjoys a triple aspect overlooking the roof garden, a green roof and the countryside beyond. There is a galleried landing and across from the bedroom is a study/garden room with a loggia.

Outside
The property is approached via a private driveway which provides access to the integral open bay car parking.
Gardens surround the residence with the intention of having garden areas with private terraces, roof gardens, and lawned areas. The residential extent of the curtilage extends to approx 0.85 acres with a paddock extending to 2.25 acres. The overall total plot extends to 3.83 acres.

Planning Permission
Planning permission was passed by Cotswold District Council under planning reference 16/01777/FUL on the 15th September 2016, and the only pre commencement condition related to the submission of a tree protection strategy which was discharged under compliance application 18/04285/COMPLY on the 7th December 2018.
There is a building control record reference 18/01227/FPOL which confirms that the log dated 4th September 2019, details the commencement of the development and we are in receipt of an email from the planning department at Cotswold District Council dated 27th October 2021 to confirm that the development has been lawfully commenced and the planning permission under ref. 16/01777/FUL is extant.

Details of this email are available on request.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
 
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.
 
Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

  • Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
  • Lower interest rates in some cases
  • Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When it comes to making an offer on a property a bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
