The village is situated between Moreton-in-Marsh and Broadway which are three miles and seven miles respectively. The village is located between two of the North Cotswolds great estates, namely Sezincote and Batsford Park, and has a pleasing architectural mix of sixteenth and seventeenth century cottages, farmhouses, a fine early nineteenth century former rectory and the Norman Church of St Lawrence. Bourton-on-the-Hill hosts an award winning gastro pub, The Horse & Groom. There is a petrol station and shop at the top of the hill, and an active village hall in the Old School in the centre of the village. The nearby towns of Moreton-in- Marsh, Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold provide a wide range of day-to-day facilities. Moreton-in-Marsh has a mainline rail station serving London/ Paddington.

For those interested in country pursuits, the general area provides excellent riding and walking within countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

4 DASHWOOD HOUSE Dashwood House is situated in an elevated position and benefits from wonderful far reaching views over the village and towards the countryside beyond. The property is constructed from locally quarried stone beneath a Cotswold stone roof and has been stylishly renovated and extended to create a charming village house with well-presented accommodation laid out over four floors. The property retains many period features including fitted and glazed cabinets, oak floors and window shutters. Of particular note are the contemporary extensions including an open plan kitchen with four door electric Aga, dining room with bi-fold doors leading out to a rear terrace and sitting room with a large inglenook fireplace with a Clearview stove, and huge French doors to an outside front terrace. The master en-suite, first floor shower room and ground floor cloakroom were designed by multi award winning designer Melinda Hill. The first floor extension links the principal bedroom accommodation to the rear terrace and garden, and has been designed to lead into the Coach House, if desired. To the rear of the house is a substantial coach house which requires modernisation and provides excellent potential for conversion to a variety of uses subject to the usual planning consents.
