Description
Nestled within mature and private gardens, yet
conveniently positioned for excellent road and rail
connections.
Robin Post House is a distinguished family home of considerable character and scale. Believed to have originated as a former Post House, the property has evolved over generations into a substantial country residence, blending period charm with practical
modern living.
A particular feature of the house is its flexibility. The integral annexe, with its own private entrance as well as access from the main house, provides exceptional accommodation for multi-generational living or guests.
The reception space is superb, centred around a
magnificent oak-panelled drawing room featuring
timbering and exquisite panelling reclaimed from an 18th-century naval ship. A stone fireplace with woodburning stove creates an atmospheric focal point, while a generous bay window enjoys views across the gardens. The adjoining dining room is equally impressive, offering elegant entertaining space with direct access to the terrace and grounds.
A recently refitted kitchen combines traditional
character with contemporary practicality, featuring extensive bespoke cabinetry, Corian worktops, a walk-in pantry and quality appliances. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a study/music room, morning room, garden room, utility room and cloakroom.
On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to
five double bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys
views over the walled garden and benefits from a
dressing room and en-suite bathroom. A guest suite also features en-suite facilities, whilst three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. There is also a kitchenette area on the first floor.
The Annexe
The annexe provides well-balanced independent
accommodation comprising a sitting room, fitted
kitchen, double bedroom and en suite shower room.
With both private and internal access, it offers
excellent flexibility for dual family living.
Gardens & Grounds
The gardens are a particular delight, extending to
approximately 1.7 acres and offering a wonderful
balance of formal and informal outdoor space.
Sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees and
established planting create a peaceful and private
setting, while a charming brick-walled garden with espalier fruit trees and wisteria-covered archway provides a timeless focal point.
Further features include a vegetable garden,
pergola walkway, outbuildings, greenhouse and
a small paddock, ideal for recreation, grazing or
wildlife.
Garaging & Additional Land
In addition to the main grounds, a parcel of land
positioned opposite the entrance includes a double garage/workshop providing excellent storage and future potential.
