• Former mill building.

• Views over Blockley brook.
• Parking.
• Communal gardens.

Positioned in a hideaway location to enjoy some of the most attractive views in the area over the gently cascading Blockley brook towards the recently re-landscaped Snugborough Mill pond, this ground floor three bedroom Grade II listed apartment has been stylishly upgraded over recent years and now would be perfect for single persons, a small family or for those looking for long term investments or for a second home.

Combining the innate character and charm of the former mill building with the contemporary refinements of modern day living. Features of the property now include many exposed beams, an antique ornamental fireplace surround, a stylish modern fitted kitchen with a range of built in appliances and gas fired central heating from a combination boiler.

The property is located close to the centre of one of the most popular villages in the North Cotswolds and is approached by an intriguing archway between the mill and adjacent cottages. The village is located midway between the cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton in Marsh where there is a wide range of shops and supermarkets, a hospital, doctors surgeries and the all important railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington.

There are many scenic walks to be enjoyed around Blockley in an area of outstanding natural beauty and the village has two public houses, a well stocked village shop and a cafe which opens as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week.
