Description
Hidden away from the road and occupying a generous plot in an idyllic countryside setting, The Old Post Office is a charming period home offering beautifully presented accommodation and captivating gardens.
Entering via the side door, you are welcomed into a stylish open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, creating the heart of the home. Double doors open into a delightful garden room featuring a wood-burning stove and enjoying views over the surrounding gardens. A side hall provides access to a useful utility room and cloakroom/WC.
To the front of the property, accessed from the kitchen, is a charming sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with inset wood-burning stove. From here, a front porch provides an additional entrance, while stairs rise to the first floor.
The first floor is arranged around a split-level landing which provides access to three bedrooms, two of which benefit from dual-aspect windows. The principal bedroom enjoys generous built-in storage. Completing this floor is a stylish family bathroom, fitted with a double-ended bath and separate shower enclosure.
A further staircase rises from the landing to a fourth bedroom tucked away in the eaves, offering a versatile space ideal as a guest room, home office or hobby room.
Outside, the property is truly captivating. Ample parking is available to the front, with a driveway leading to two garages. The plot extends to approximately 1.3 acres STMS and includes a variety of useful outbuildings.
The current owners have thoughtfully landscaped and defined distinct areas within the garden, greatly enhancing its appeal and creating a series of attractive outdoor spaces to enjoy. At the far end of the plot, a delightful wooded area provides a peaceful and natural backdrop.
