Willow Cottage is a Grade II listed, four-bedroom thatched home set on a very large 0.6-acre plot in the heart of Gotherington. The house combines period character — exposed beams, stone walls and inglenook fireplaces — with modern comforts including gas central heating, a double garage and ample parking. A detached annexe provides independent accommodation ideal for guests, a holiday let or multi-generational living.
The site’s standout feature is outline planning permission for a single-storey dwelling up to 3,500 sq ft and consent for a new garage block, offering significant development potential subject to listed-building constraints. The substantial gardens and rural outlook add appeal for buyers seeking privacy and outdoor space in a prosperous village setting.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and thatched roof, which will require specialist, ongoing maintenance and may limit alterations despite the outline consent on the plot. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and any refurbishment or development will need careful coordination with conservation officers.
Offered chain-free, this is well suited to families seeking a characterful long-term home, buyers looking for a high-potential renovation/development project, or investors interested in a holiday-annexe income stream. The village location offers good local schools, fast broadband and easy access to countryside walks while remaining within commuting distance of Cheltenham.
