Every once in a while, a property comes onto the market with its own special magic and Box Cottage is a perfect example. Forming part of the history and also the street scene of the fashionable Dovedale end of the High Street, close to woodland walks, this discreetly positioned three/four bedroom, three-storey, country retreat has been beautifully stylised and enhanced by the present owners and should be viewed first hand to be fully appreciated.

Walking through each room in the property is like turning the pages of Homes and Gardens magazine with the accommodation flowing perfectly from the side hallway, cosy living room with an inglenook fireplace, dining room with stone staircase to the first floor, beautifully fitted bespoke breakfast kitchen, garden room to the rear and a bespoke fitted study on the top floor.

The accommodation is enhanced with many exposed beams and stone mullioned windows with built in window seats and limestone flooring to the whole of the ground floor with under floor heating. There are antique style fireplaces to two of the four double bedrooms and the master bedroom suite is completely enclosed with superb views from the large window seat and not only has its own four piece bathroom with a French style cabinet, but also an en suite dressing room with a full bank of wardrobes and cupboards. On the second floor, there is a spacious central landing, two further double bedrooms (one currently used as a study), shower room and three dormer windows taking full advantage of the superb views.

The property is located in the quieter Dovedale end of the village within earshot of the gently cascading Blockley Brook only a few hundred yards from excellent walks in the Dovedale and Batsford woods. The village is serviced by two public houses, church, primary school and a small supermarket and the Blockley cafe which doubles as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week.

Blockley is located mid way between the cosmopolitan Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton in Marsh, where there also rail links to London Paddington.
