Forming an integral part of the street scene of one of the most famous villages of the North Cotswolds and having an imposing double fronted facade, this deceptively spacious inner terraced three storey, three bedroom country home was until 1928 a public house: The Pear Tree Inn, one of seven hostelries in the village at the time and still retains a vaulted cellar now converted into storage space.
Enhanced and embellished by the present owners over recent years the property now features a bespoke fitted kitchen to the rear with a range of integrated appliances, solid oak worktops and a limestone floor and which was reroofed 2 years ago. The property has a full width living room to the front with two original fireplaces, one having a homely wood burning stove, some exposed pointed stone walls and beamed ceiling.
At first floor level there are two bedrooms and a shower room/wc and on the second floor there is a particularly stylish master bedroom suite with an apex ceiling, exposed roof timbers, a range of fitted wardrobes to one wall and a four piece ensuite bathroom.
The attractively landscaped 50ft rear garden is formed on four levels incorporating a south facing elevated seating area perfect for alfresco dining and enjoys good views towards the surrounding countryside. The property has a distinctive early 19th century facade with original small paned sash windows now with secondary double glazing and the property is warmed with gas fired central heating.
Lower Street is positioned only 200 yards from the centre of this vibrant village midway between the cosmopolitan cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton in Marsh where there are direct rail links to Oxford and London Paddington. In addition to the property having two public houses, a primary school and a hotel there is a purpose built mini supermarket and the famous Blockley cafe which opens several evenings a week as a fine dining restaurant.
