The Dell, Moreton-in-marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56

Occupying an idyllic location at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac bounded by the gently cascading Blockley Brook, this semi-detached, two-storey, two double bedroomed contemporary country cottage has been enhanced and embellished by the present owners over recent years and to whom the property pays the highest compliment. The property has a spacious through-living room with a Cotswold stone fireplace with a homely woodburning stove and both this room and the adjacent study have double doors opening on to the stylishly landscaped rear garden. The through-kitchen has been completely refitted with a good range of high calibre units and integrated appliances, quartz work tops and dining area. At first floor level there are two double bedrooms including an extravagant master suite with an ensuite shower room with a renewed suite and, in tandem with the main bathroom, having contemporary rain shower heads. Other attractions include a renewed central heating boiler and radiators throughout the property, upgraded wiring, louvred window blinds to most rooms, stylish block paved-style Amtico flooring to most ground floor rooms and all the windows and doors in the property have been recently renewed with high calibre sealed-unit double glazing. Externally, however, the property has something rather special whereby, across the private driveway, there is a secret concealed decking area adjacent to the brook, cloaked in a screen of mature foliage and perfect for those contemplative moments. The property has the all important two car parking along its boundary. Built in the mid 1990's, The Dell is located just off the Draycott Road around quarter of a mile from the centre of one of the most popular villages in the North Cotswolds where there are two public houses, a well-stocked village shop and a fashionable cafe which doubles as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week. Scenic walks can be enjoyed in the surrounding countryside directly from the property, the closest one to The Dell being immediately opposite around the entrance around the eastern boundary of the village passing Snugborough Mill. Blockley is located midway between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are rail links to London Paddington. The village is also famous for being used for the filming of the BBC Father Brown series where it is renamed Kembleford.
