Foxtail Cottage, part of a picturesque terraced series of cottages with exceptional rear views over a deer park and rolling Cotswold countryside, was originally constructed for the workers of the numerous silk mills functioning in the hamlet in the middle of the 19th century.
An large, dual-purpose sitting and dining area with a Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace, oak flooring, and elegant furnishings awaits you at the ground level. It’s the ideal spot to unwind in the evening. A delightful surprise awaits you downstairs at the lower ground level, where you’ll find a gorgeous kitchen with Aga and a light-filled garden room that doubles as a second sitting room during the day to enjoy the lovely rear views. Bi-folding doors lead out to the decked area that overlooks the lovely garden. There is a wide sun terrace with sun loungers, a bistro set, a Weber charcoal barbecue, and a chiminea after descending a few steps from the garden. In the park directly behind the sun terrace, you can frequently spot deer, and if you’re lucky, they might even approach the surrounding fence!
Located in the North Cotswolds’ undulating hills between Moreton-in-Marsh (which has direct rail access to London Paddington) and Chipping Campden, Blockley is a charming golden stone village with lots of walking opportunities across the surrounding countryside. The BBC mystery thriller “Father Brown” is set amid Blockley’s stunning church, churchyard, and vicarage. A renovated water mill along the creek, a fantastic community-run café, a well-stocked store, and two pubs are just a short stroll from the village’s many other ancient structures. Broadway, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stow-on-the-Wold are also close by.
