Owls End, number 87 Station Road, is a large house built in the late C17 or early 18th century with later additions. The plan is 'L' shaped with a timber framed cross wing. Constructed partly of square-panelled timber framing with brick noggin, and partly of coursed limestone rubble stone, under roofs partly of artificial stone slate and partly of tile. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1091702 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.
