What was once a neglected public toilet block at the base of Cleeve Hill—the highest point in Gloucestershire—has been transformed into a remarkable two-bedroom property now available for £300,000.
The story began in April 2011, when Tewkesbury Borough Council auctioned off the derelict toilet building located at Stockwell Common. Louise Houston, a businesswoman and hotel owner, acquired the property for just £35,000. Over several years, she secured planning permission and meticulously converted it into a “quirky” and inviting Airbnb rental, attracting guests at £85 per night.
