About this property

39 Foxtail Cottage (2 Guests) - Blockley , Gloucestershire

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).

We bought Foxtail Cottage in 2021. We fell in love with the layout of the property and, in particular, the country kitchen and the spacious garden room. This is a fantastic space for relaxing with a glass of wine. We also spend a lot of time (when the weather is okay!) on the sun loungers at the bottom of the garden. Often the deer come up to the fence to say hello. We continue to invest in the property. We have recently replaced all the garden furniture, bought new high-quality bed linen and installed a lovely coffee machine. We hope that our guests enjoy the property as much as we do. Marta and Iain.
