Latest house prices for Bourton On The Water, Cheltenham

Often referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' due to the low arched stone bridges crossing the River Windrush, Bourton-on-the-Water is a substantial village situated about sixteen miles east of Cheltenham. Most of the settlement is built from the distinctive local honey-coloured limestone, following a layout that has remained largely unchanged since the medieval period. While the central riverbanks are the focal point, the village functions as a practical rural hub with a primary school, a well-regarded secondary school, and a proper high street that serves the surrounding smaller hamlets. It sits just off the A429 Fosse Way, providing a direct road link north toward Moreton-in-Marsh and south to Cirencester, though the village itself remains tucked into the valley. Living here means balancing the quiet, misty mornings by the water with the busy afternoon footfall that the village’s unique geography naturally attracts.
