House For Sale £620,000
This former village post-office building is now reimagined as a characterful and practical family home. The house occupies an imposing position in the centre of the village and enjoys far reaching views over rooftops and to the castle.
The property is accessed via stone steps with wrought iron railings either side. A large six panelled door with a three panel window above opens to an entrance hall with attractive oak panelling along the left wall.
The kitchen is a wonderfully open and light space, comprising a Falcon range cooker recessed in an attractive fireplace, a walk-in pantry, integral dishwasher, and is completed with solid oak worktops and floorboards. There is a utility room to the left offering a separate space for food preparation with a door to the garden. Two doors to the right access the cellars, one of which houses the plant room and the other a great opportunity for renovation to create another practical room.
To the rear of the house is the sitting room. Full height windows take full advantage of the sun from the southerly aspect and a section to the side provides a separate area for a study. An open fireplace in the centre provides a focal point, either side of which are openings to the snug, with a cloakroom in the corner.
A delightful panelled door with stained glass enters the dining room to the front of the house, offering a large bow-fronted window with folding wooden shutters, an open fireplace and a second front door.
An open staircase in the heart of house leads to the first floor. The landing is airy and spacious, with a leaded light window looking over the garden, and original beams from floor to ceiling. This floor has two large double bedrooms, both with sash windows, feature fireplaces and built-in wardrobes. Between them there is a spacious family bath and shower room, with leaded light windows and oak flooring.
Stairs continue to the second floor, which shares a very similar layout to the first floor and offers impressive views in all directions. Once again complete with a bath and shower room, in impeccable condition and featuring fittings of a high specification.
Outside
The garden is accessed by a door from the kitchen which opens to an attractive entertaining terrace, with pedestrian access afforded to the side of the property. Beyond this is a large expanse of lawn interspersed by a variety of shrubs and herbaceous borders. A bay tree at the very end provides a focal point, behind which is a parking area and an attached garage providing useful storage.
