Description

This delightful two-bedroom Victorian Grade II Listed cottage, dating back to 1851, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in the picturesque village of Blockley. The property is ideally situated near the heart of the village, providing convenient access to local amenities such as a shop, café, and two public houses. While the cottage possesses considerable charm and character, it would benefit from modernization, making it an excellent candidate for renovation. These improvements could enhance its appeal as a Cotswold retreat or rental investment. Accessed via a pathway that services neighboring cottages, the entrance leads into a kitchen equipped with fitted wall and floor cabinets, an inset sink unit, and space for essential appliances. There's also room for a cozy dining area. The light-filled sitting room features lovely views onto Lower Street and includes a traditional stone fireplace with an electric fire. Practical elements such as an understairs storage cupboard and an airing cupboard housing the central heating boiler add functionality to this inviting space. On the first floor, you’ll find a double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and storage space alongside a bathroom featuring a classic suite. Ascending to the second floor reveals another spacious landing which can serve as an office or study area, along with an additional double bedroom equipped with built-in storage. Outside, the property boasts an elevated west-facing garden accessed via stone steps. This generous outdoor space includes lawn areas and a vegetable patch known for producing exceptional rhubarb. At the top of the garden lies a large terraced area ideal for alfresco dining while enjoying stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The location enhances this property’s appeal; Blockley is adorned with charming period architecture and maintains a strong community spirit. Residents have access to essential services nearby in Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh—both just three miles away—as well as reputable schools including Chipping Campden School and Bourton-on-the-Water's Academy Status Schools within easy reach. With good transport links available from Moreton-in-Marsh offering direct trains to London Paddington in under 90 minutes, this cottage not only represents an attractive home but also holds significant potential for future value appreciation through thoughtful renovations. Street parking is typically accessible on Lower Street, further adding to its convenience.
