• Three bedrooms

• Approx. 90 foot south-westerly facing rear garden
• Off-street parking for two vehicles
• Section 157 applies

Positioned on one of the main approaches to one of the sought after villages in the North Cotswolds and owned by the same family for over 50 years, this semi-detached, two-storey, three bedroom family home was built in the late 1920's and has been tastefully upgraded over the years.

The property retains some original character with the original floorboards which have now been stained and original panel doors. More contemporary refinements include the recent addition of Upvc double glazed windows and doors, a front porch, gas fired central heating and a fitted kitchen with some integrated appliances.

The property has an attractive living room beyond which there is a cosy garden room with French doors leading directly on to the 90 foot south-easterly facing rear garden which is formed on three tiers with a central area for alfresco dining and a well-manicured lawned area at the rear. There is off-street parking for two vehicles in the front drive.

The property is located around quarter of a mile from the green in the centre of the village with the Great Western pub even closer and the very fashionable Blockley village shop and cafe which opens as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week. The village has its own primary school and is within the catchment area for Chipping Campden secondary school. Blockley is located midway between cosmopolitan Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are a wide range of shops, supermarkets, hostelries, two doctors surgeries, a community hospital and the all important railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington.

The property is therefore ideal for young families looking to develop a home to their own requirements amongst other traditional family houses in the area.
