Approx 1,222 sq ft (includes garage); generous room proportions throughout

Listed status restricts alterations; maintenance and listed-consent costs probable
Stone walls pre-1900 assumed uninsulated — energy upgrades may be needed
Tucked behind Blockley High Street, this three-storey Grade II listed semi delivers character and convenience in equal measure. Original stone walls, exposed beams and dormer windows combine with sympathetic modern updates — a Worcester Bosch gas boiler and bespoke sealed-unit double glazing — to create a comfortable, characterful home of 1,222 sq ft.
The house offers two double bedrooms on the top floor and a large open-plan living room with a parish-church view, alongside a well-equipped country-style kitchen and a striking four-piece bathroom with roll-top bath. Outside, a professionally landscaped rear garden, private gated vehicular access, individual garage and parking add practical appeal for everyday living or as a rural retreat.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can increase maintenance costs and permissions. The stone walls date from before 1900 and are assumed uninsulated, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed despite updated glazing and a modern boiler. Council tax is above average and local recorded crime is higher than typical for the area.
This home suits buyers seeking a centrally located Cotswold cottage with strong period character and good local amenities — ideal for downsizers, second-home buyers or professionals wanting village life with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Prospective purchasers should budget for listed-property upkeep and check lease terms and any listed-consent implications before committing.
