Sold STC - 3 bed Semi-Detached

• Character Grade II Listed home
• Three storey
• Full width diner kitchen
• Three bedrooms
• Gas fired central heating and renewed double glazed windows

Forming an integral part of the street scene of this iconic North Cotswold village and having undergone a complete program of modernisation over recent years, this beautifully appointed Grade II Listed, three storey, three bedroomed character home is strongly recommended for inspection for those looking for a village retreat ready for an immediate occupation.

Combining the innate character and charm of a period home with the contemporary refinements of modern day living, the property has flagstone floors to the whole of the ground floor, a homely Cotswold stone fireplace in the spacious living room which also incorporates a distinctive small paned renovated bow window.

The full-width diner kitchen to the rear has solid wood work tops and an extensive range of cupboards and integrated appliances. There is ample room for a large dining table creating an excellent space for entertaining.

At first floor level the master bedroom has an attractive outlook along Blockley High Street and a fully tiled bathroom/w.c. with a rain shower head. There is access to a north westerly-facing sun terrace perfect for those late afternoon recreational moments. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor with a partial aspect over countryside to the front and over gardens to the rear.

More contemporary refinements include all renewed gas fired central heating from a combination boiler, upgraded wiring and plumbing throughout, renewed double glazed windows and the property has been stylishly and neutrally decorated throughout.

Externally the property has an approximately 80 foot rear garden and patio formed on several levels which in turn leads to a pathway leading to Chapel Lane.

We are informed the property was once a general grocery store until the late 1960's when the High Street contained many shops and banks before the onset of supermarkets in bigger town centres.

Scenic walks can be enjoyed in the surrounding countryside directly from the property where the High Street culminates in Dovedale Woods. The village has two public houses, a comprehensive village store and the very fashionable Blockley Cafe which opens as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week.

Blockley is located midway between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton in Marsh with one of the most famous tree-lined High Streets in the North Cotswolds with its own railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington.
