Number 23 Station Road, seen here, is semi-detached with number 25 Station Road Image Built, possibly, in the 16th century the existence of a limestone plinth indicates that the house was probably timber framed and later encased or rebuilt in brick. The left gable end is constructed of squared, coursed limestone. The roof is of concrete tile. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1340175 Bishop's Cleeve is a large village in Gloucestershire. It lies at the foot of Cleeve Hill, the highest point of the Cotswolds, some 3½ miles north of Cheltenham. Although Iron Age and Roman remains have been found locally, the earliest known origins of the village date to the 8th Century. A monastery and surrounding land was given to the Bishop of Worcester, and the village became the Bishop’s Cliffe. The village grew rapidly when an aerospace factory was built nearby after the Second World War and continues to grow.
