Latest house prices for Blockley, Moreton-In-Marsh

Blockley sits in a deep fold of the Cotswold hills, just a few miles from the busier hub of Moreton-in-Marsh. Unlike many neighbouring villages that rely on tourism, it retains the feel of a working community, largely due to its industrial past as a centre for silk milling. The narrow, winding streets are lined with golden ironstone cottages that tier up the hillside, following the path of the knee-high brook that once powered a dozen mills. Today, the village functions around a well-supported community-run shop and café, and a couple of dependable pubs. It is geographically distinct from the high wold plateau, tucked away in its own valley, which gives it a sense of seclusion despite being only a short drive from the mainline trains to London and Oxford found at Moreton. It’s a place of steep climbs and quiet corners, where the pace is dictated more by the local terrain than the seasonal crowds found elsewhere in the district.
