Description

One of the brightest jewels in Blockley's treasure chest of hidden cottages, concealed within a courtyard environment in a hide-away location behind the High Street, this semi-detached, three storey, two bedroom Grade 11 listed village home could not be more centrally located and has been carefully and sympathetically maintained over recent years.

What seems to be the entrance to the property from the High Street leads to a passage way and in turn a landscaped courtyard from which The Granary can be accessed.

Entering the property is like walking into a page of Homes and Gardens Magazine where the original features are manifest in the many sandblasted exposed beams and pointed stone walls combining beautifully with the more contemporary refinements such as a bespoke fitted kitchen with a Britannia range and shuttered window blinds.

At first floor level there is an expansive open plan living room with a particularly striking view of the local Parish Church and over the beautifully styled and professionally landscaped rear garden. Care has been taken on the second floor to make best use of the space available with two double bedrooms and a particularly striking four piece bathroom suite with a roll top free standing bath as its centre piece.

The technical specification of the property includes an up-to-date Worcester Bosch gas fired combination central heating boiler and over recent years there has been installed a range of bespoke sealed unit double glazed windows.

Vehicular access can be gained from a private gated access from Bell Bank which in turn leads to parking for the property with its own individual garage.

The property is therefore not only perfect as a main home but would be outstanding as a supplementary home for those looking for a country retreat in one of the most popular villages in the North Cotswolds with private security access to the front and gated access to the rear.

Blockley has two public houses, a hotel and a very well stocked village store which doubles as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week. The property is located between the cosmopolitan Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are rail links to London Paddington.

Blockley is famous as the location for the filming of the BBC series Father Brown where it is referred to as Kembleford.
