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 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.
