Cottage 39 Foxtail (4 personnes) - Blockley, Gloucestershire

Originally built for the workers of the many silk mills operating in the village during the mid 19th century, Foxtail Cottage has been lovingly renovated and fully modernised and features a stunning Cotswold stone fireplace and open fire, Aga and pretty garden with sun terrace.

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, 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! The two charming first floor bedrooms are beautifully presented and will suit either two couples or a family with young children who are happy to share the double bed in the second bedroom. Also on this level is a modern shower room with a large walk-in shower.
