Pear Tree House Lower Street | Blockley | Gloucestershire | GL56 9DS
Pear Tree House Pear Tree House is a delightful stone built cottage of considerable charm, situated within a little row of Georgian properties in one of the most picturesque villages in the North Cotswolds. Meticulously restored and beautifully presented, with a sympathetic extension on the ground floor to provide a kitchen overlooking a traditional terraced cottage garden, the property provides spacious, well-balanced living space, full of character. Offering two reception rooms, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over three floors, this is a highly desirable proposition large enough for a family or as a picturesque second home, which is what caught the imagination of the present owners, a couple from Texas who spend much of their time here in the UK. “From the moment we saw Pear Tree House, we fell in love with it,” says Mrs Hilton. “It captured our vision of what a Cotswold cottage looks like - and that it had been a pub [Pear Tree Inn] until 1928 made it even more enchanting.” With pretty sash windows, burnished wood floors, exposed beams, original fireplaces and panelled doors, their care and attention to detail is matched by a luxurious standard of comfort. Every room has been both beautifully and imaginatively fitted out throughout using the best of materials. “We have really enjoyed carrying out our restoration, including the wood burning fireplace in front of which we have spent many a cold, wintry evening, for which the late Ian Ashurst - an amazing stone carver from Chipping Campden - carved a front for us, typical of the period in which the property was built.” It is also an eminently practical home. “We have made the most of all available space, including the little vaulted cellar where they kept the beer and cider, now very useful and capacious storage for the kitchen. ” Their love for the cottage clearly extends to every aspect of traditional village life. “We have spent many hours enjoying the garden, where we sit and enjoy views from the top terrace out towards the surrounding hills. It is only a short walk through the churchyard to the village shop, and on several occasions have been surprised to almost walk into the filming of Father Brown. It is just such a friendly, welcoming community and we have delighted in coming to stay as often as possible. Indeed the only reason for sale is to move to another larger home within the same village. We have enjoyed every moment and simply hope that the next owner cherishes it as much as we have done.” Launching with an Open Day on September 9th, viewing is strictly by prior appointment. For more information, contact Tom Burdett, Sales Director, at the Moreton in Marsh offices of Harrison James & Hardie, Fine & Country North Cotswolds, in Moreton in Marsh on 01608 651000.
