Positioned at the fashionable Dovedale end of Blockley High Street in a slightly elevated location, this detached, double fronted, three storey three bedroomed late 18th century village retreat is strongly recommended for those looking for a main or supplementary home in excellent condition throughout.

The property has many ingratiating features including a commodious entrance hall with a stone flagged floor and a homely woodburning stove, the upper first floor has a cosy dining room with direct access to the garden and the stylishly fitted kitchen has a range of bespoke units and a substantial Ever Hot electric stove. There are two bedrooms and an ensuite four piece bathroom on the first floor and a master suite on the second floor with its own four piece suite and a slipper bath.

The property has several gable windows with excellent views towards the surrounding countryside and to Dovedale Woods.

The property is warmed with gas fired central heating, there is a pressurised hot water system and another modern woodburning stove in the elegant ground floor living room.

The rear garden is formed on two levels, the first having an elevated patio and the second privately screened with excellent views.

The property is literally a hundred yards from an array of scenic walks in Dovedale Woods at which point the High Street terminates and is a cul-de-sac where there is no through traffic.

Blockley village has two public houses, its own primary school, well-stocked village store and the very popular cafe which doubles as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week. The village is also famous for hosting the filming of the Father Brown series for the BBC where the village is called Kembleford.

The village is positioned mid-way between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are several supermarkets and the all important railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington.
