Blockley, Moreton-in-marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56

Set within 1.2 acres of private grounds, bounded by the gently cascading and meandering Blockley brook, this inner terraced, two storey one bedroomed barn conversion is one of nine properties occupying a hideaway location in the centre of one of the most sought after villages in the north Cotswolds. This property has been used successfully as a holiday cottage over the last 40 years and features a full height mullion window from the lounge with exceptional views over private gardens towards the terraced gardens of the Manor House and Parish church. The property has an open plan living room and kitchen, which has a range of modern units and a mezzanine landing above, approached by a wrought iron spiral staircase to a spacious double bedroom and an en suite bathroom. The feeling of spaciousness is accentuated with the 11 ft high apex ceiling in the bedroom with the property having a light and airy ambience. The property is warmed with gas fired central heating. Externally the property has its own private garden, two allocated parking spaces and access to the communal grounds where there is a picnic bench for those dreamy lunches by the brook. The entrance to Lower Farm Cottages is discretely positioned just off School Lane close to the approach to Blockley village. The two allocated parking spaces for this property are the first on the right hand side of the communal driveway. There is a communal enclosed bin store further along. 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 a wide range of shops and amenities, and the town has its own railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington. The village has two public houses, a well stocked village shop and an extremely popular cafe which doubles as a fine dining restaurant seven evenings a week. There are exceptional walks to be enjoyed in the surrounding countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and the famous Blockley brook meanders its way through the village from its conception in Dovedale woods at the end of the High Street, cascading through several former silk mills before crossing Mill Dene gardens and into Lower Farm Cottages.
