A chocolate box cottage in a popular village
Description
Dating from the seventeenth-century, Grade II Listed Old Post Office is a delightful, thatched cottage with a picturesque black and white façade with eyebrow dormers. Internally there are wonderful period features including a handsome fireplace, a wealth of ceiling timbers and oak doors. The property has been cleverly extended in more recent times.
The property is entered via a porch which leads into a welcoming sitting room with a handsome fireplace. A doorway leads to the dining room which in turn connects to the kitchen and utility room which are both well-fitted with Shaker-style cabinets. There is an Aga in the kitchen. At the other end of the sitting room is a modern extension comprising a sun room and study/studio which makes the most of the south facing aspect and provides a clever link to the original part of the property. Stairs rise from the study/studio to bedroom two. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. A second staircase near the dining room provides access to two good bedrooms, both with built in cupboards. There are also built in cupboards on the landing. Completing the first floor accommodation is a family shower room.
Mature landscaped gardens lie to the front and rear of the property with lawns and well-stocked flower beds. Garden storage is well catered for with a large shed and two stores. At the rear is a paved terrace and two gazebos providing a choice of places for entertaining and relaxation. There is parking for several cars to the side.
