Tucked on the edge of Blockley, this detached farmhouse pairs 17th‑century character with a substantial 21st‑century extension. The house occupies a very large, well‑screened plot of approximately 0.6 acres with south‑facing lawns and mature planting, creating private outdoor space ideal for family life and al fresco entertaining.
Interiors are generous and flexible: four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and four reception rooms (around nine principal rooms in total) allow for separate family, home‑office and guest zones. The contemporary open‑plan kitchen/dining room is a particular highlight, with vaulted glazing, full‑height picture windows, island seating, underfloor heating and direct garden access. Several rooms retain exposed beams and period detail, while the extension brings modern comfort and excellent natural light.
Practical benefits include a private sweeping drive with ample off‑street parking, an EV charging point, and proximity to village amenities — shops, cafés, two pubs and a primary school — plus good secondary schooling and rail links from Moreton‑in‑Marsh. The large plot also offers scope for further landscaping or ancillary buildings, subject to planning.
Important factual points: the property is timber and brick-built with mixed historic fabric and modern additions (dating from c.1650 with Victorian and 21st‑century works). There is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime statistics are higher than average; prospective buyers should factor these into their survey and insurance considerations. Overall the house suits families seeking a characterful, spacious home with modern living spaces and extensive private grounds.
