Chapel Lane, Blockley, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire., GL56 9BD

Occupying an enviable hill top location with views from eleven rooms over Blockley village towards distant countryside, this charismatic, three-storey, three/four bedroom village retreat offers over 3,000 square feet accommodation and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.

Part of the property is formed from a converted coach house with extensive redevelopments in the mid 1970's, curving round a central courtyard to the rear creating a perfect private area for alfresco dining with delightful views over almost a sixth of an acre of landscaped gardens and countryside.

The property has three separate reception rooms with not only two living rooms on the ground floor but a more decadent living room on the first floor and a balcony to enjoy some of the best views.

The master bedroom suite not only includes a spacious four piece bathroom with whirlpool bath but also a galley-style dressing room and an American-style utility area.

There is a bespoke fitted kitchen with a range of appliances and a large rear conservatory adjacent to the courtyard.

The property is warmed with gas fired warm air central heating, sealed unit double glazing and a spectacular real fire with a basket cradle in a chimney between the two living rooms.

Externally, the property has off-street parking for one vehicle in addition to a spacious garage with an electronically operated roller shutter door.

The rear garden is formed on several levels with a patio, lawn, ornamental and landscaped gardens for those private contemplative moments.

Boveton Hill is positioned at the junction of Chapel Lane and Bell Bank at the top of the village with easy access of two public houses, the well-stocked village shop and fashionable cafe that doubles as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week.

Only to be described further in superlatives, this property has not been on the market for the last forty years and will therefore attract a great deal of attention.
