Description
- Terraced Grade II listed cottage
- Two double bedrooms
- Gas fired central heating
- Character features
- South-east facing rear garden
The innate character and charm of the property manifest in the inglenook fireplace in the living room with a homely woodburning stove, there are many exposed beams, pointed stone wall and exposed floorboards. More contemporary refinements include gas fired central heating from a combination boiler, a stylish modern bathroom with a rain shower head and an attractive lower ground floor diner kitchen with a good compliment of units.
One of the main features of the property, however, are the superb views enjoyed over gardens and roof tops towards distant countryside to the rear and an approximate 50 foot rear garden. Part of the listing of the property is to do with the quirky small-paned front ground floor window.
The property is positioned midway along the High Street which culminates in Dovedale woods where many scenic walks can be enjoyed in the surrounding countryside. The village has two public houses and a vibrant well-stocked village shop and a cafe which doubles 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 where there are rail links to Oxford and London Paddington.
