Located within it's own environment and one of only nine properties within this discrete location, this next to end terraced, two storey, three bedroomed barn conversion combines the innate character and charm of a Cotswold home with all the contemporary refinements of modern day living.
Located within it's own environment in one of the most popular villages in the north Cotswolds, and one of only nine properties within this discrete location, this next to end terraced, two storey, three bedroomed barn conversion combines the innate character and charm of a Cotswold home with all the contemporary refinements of modern day living.
The property has been used as a holiday cottage for many decades and more recently has had a complete makeover which can only be appreciated first hand. There are many exposed random Cotswold stone walls, 12 foot high ceilings to the first floor bedrooms, all internal latch and brace doors and a sunny south facing rear garden taking full advantage of the sun most of the day.
Modern improvements include gas fired central heating from a combination boiler, a particularly stylish kitchen with a range of integrated appliances and there is not only a stylish bathroom on the ground floor but also a second bathroom on the first floor both with rain shower heads.
Even people who have lived in the village for some time do not realise Lower Farm Cottages exist within this beautiful location, bounded by the gently cascading Blockley brook and with views towards the Italian style gardens of the Manor House. The property comes with allocated parking for two vehicles and each of the properties has access to the picnic area beside the brook which is quite idyllic in it's own right.
Blockley is located midway between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh with its railway station and links to Oxford and London Paddington. The village has two public houses, a good quality village shop and its own cafe that doubles as a bistro several evenings a week. There are fabulous walks to be enjoyed from the property in an area of outstanding natural beauty and particularly towards Dovedale woods at the end of the high street.
