About this property
A charming cottage in situated in the Cotswolds village of Blockley.
Originally built for the workers of the many silk mills operating in the village during the mid 19th century, Foxtail Cottage sits within a charming terraced row of cottages with enviable rear views over a deer park and rolling Cotswold countryside.
At the ground level you will be greeted via an entrance hall into the impressive, dual aspect sitting and dining area with Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace, oak flooring and tasteful furnishings, perfect for retiring to when evening draws in. Downstairs at the lower ground level is a delightful surprise with a beautiful kitchen complete with Aga, leading into the light filled garden room, furnished as a second sitting room to enjoy the wonderful rear views by day and features bi-folding doors out to the decked area overlooking the pretty garden. The garden leads you down a few steps to a large sun terrace with sun loungers, a bistro set, Weber charcoal barbecue and chiminea. There are often deer in the park directly behind the sun terrace and if you are lucky, they will wander right up to the perimeter fence!
Blockley is a delightful golden stone village, situated within the rolling hills of the North Cotswolds between Moreton-in-Marsh (with direct rail links to London Paddington) and Chipping Campden, with an abundance of walks over the surrounding countryside. Blockley's beautiful church, churchyard and vicarage are used for the filming of "Father Brown", a period BBC detective drama. The village boasts many other historic buildings including a converted water mill along the brook; a fabulous community run café and well stocked shop and two pubs within walking distance. Also nearby are Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway, and Bourton-on-the-Water.
39 Foxtail Cottage is also available to book sleeping four guests with use of both bedrooms (please see separate listing).
Additional Information:
There is a second double bedroom which will be unavailable for use when booking for two guests, however access to the wardrobe in this bedroom is available. Should you wish to use this second bedroom, please book 39 Foxtail Cottage (for four guests).
One well behaved dog welcome (small additional charge). Please restrict your dog to the lower ground floor and garden.
This is an old property with some uneven floors on the first floor (bedroom and shower room).
Infant welcome. Highchair, travel cot and two stairgates are available on request. Portable black-out blind, baby changing mat, baby bath and microwave steriliser provided. Clip-in, portable stair gates to be fitted by guests as required.
