" Positioned at the fashionable Dovedale end of Blockley High Street and offering deceptively spacious accommodation arranged on three floors, this inner terrace grade II listed, three/ four bedroom village retreat under went a comprehensive programme of modernisation in 2014 and has been upgraded in sympathy with the property's innate character and charm.

Period features include two substantial fireplaces both with cast iron wood burning stoves, there are antique stone flagged floors to the hall and living room and there are solid elm floor boards to the stairwell and all bedrooms. Other ingratiating features include a 14 ft high apex ceiling to the rear dining room, there are five window seats, one with the original shutters, exposed beams to the ceiling and some mullioned leaded pane windows.

More contemporary refinements include gas fired central heating from a combination boiler, renewed wiring and plumbing, ground floor cloakroom, stylish bathroom on the first floor and an ensuite shower room in the stunning master suite on the second floor which also has its own living space, dressing area or optional fourth bedroom.

After having described all of the above, one of the most significant attractions of the property is its large rear walled garden with lawns and off street parking from Days Lane for at least two vehicles.

This section of Blockley High Street in which the property is located is only a few hundred yards from its culmination in Dovedale woods, and as the High Street is therefore a cul-de-sac there is less traffic in this area than other parts of the village. A wide variety of scenic walks which can be enjoyed in the surrounding countryside. The village has its own shop and cafe, primary school and a thriving friendly traditional pub in the Great Western Arms.

The village is located midway between the Cotswold Cafe Society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are also rail links to London Paddington.
