Description

Occupying an idyllic location in the heart of the village, this beautiful Grade II listed cottage dates back to the early 1800s and was originally the village post office. Sympathetically extended and refurbished by the current owners, Old Post Office Cottage is full of character and charm and now offers beautifully presented accommodation, full of period features with a contemporary finish.

On the ground floor the characterful accommodation is mostly open plan providing excellent reception space with a dining hall and adjacent dual aspect sitting room. The dining hall is of excellent proportions benefiting from built-in cabinetry which in turn opens into the vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with French doors opening on to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a superb array of units complemented by worktops and Bosch appliances, also incorporating a peninsular unit with breakfast bar seating. There is underfloor heating to the ground floor and upstairs bathroom.

On the first floor are two well appointed bedrooms both with built-in cabinetry. Both rooms are served by a luxurious bath/shower room with both a shower and freestanding bath.

The landscaped garden to the rear is a real feature of the property with areas of lawn, a garden path and raised flower beds. A large terrace adjoins the house providing ideal entertaining and outside dining space. At the far end of the garden is a driveway for off street parking, a garage and home office.
