If walls could talk, this quintessential Cotswold cottage in the bucolic village of Blockley sure would have some stories to tell. Dating back to the 1860s, this former home to the local silk mill weavers oozes period charm from every nook and cranny. Carefully renovated by the current owners, exposed Cotswold stone walls, oak beams, mullion windows, and flagstone floors remain – though that open-plan and surprisingly spacious kitchen and garden room are firmly into the 21st century. Filled with freshly cut flowers and a farmhouse-style dining table at its heart for catchups over meals, the kitchen couldn’t feel more welcoming – and wait until you get that wood-burning stove fired up.
