With origins believed to date to C17, The Old Post Office is a unique property, with charming features including stone mullioned windows, exposed beams, internal stone walls and a vintage inglenook fireplace. Stylishly up-dated interiors complement the home’s period character, with ceramic-tiled flooring extending across the ground floor offering practicality and a pleasing sense of harmony. The spacious reception hall has a fireplace and window seat, with an open aperture to the drawing room where the warming ambience of a wood-burning stove can be enjoyed.

A step level change leads into the spacious, adjoining kitchen/dining room where features include wall and ceiling panelling, green-toned cabinetry with marble worksurfaces, an artistic splashback on the wall behind the stove and a Belfast sink. Ancillary space is provided by a utility/boot room which incorporates a cloakroom and offers a home to domestic appliances with an external door linking to the garden. An additional reception room provides versatile-use options and currently presents as a study/sitting room.

A staircase rises to a roomy landing which provides access to three bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The en suite principal bedroom offers a luxurious retreat and the benefit of a dressing area with fitted wardrobes. A further stairway rises to the top of the house where skylight windows allow light to flood inside and the rooms comprise two bedrooms, one with the benefit of an en suite bathroom.

To the side of the property, there is an area for parking and a series of steps lead up to a gate which offers a route to the rear garden. A south-west facing paved terrace, bordered by stone walling, can be accessed directly from the kitchen/dining room offering opportunities for al fresco entertaining and relaxation. Steps rise to a pathway which leads through a lawned area to the summer house and the weather-boarded garden studio, currently used as a pottery and providing numerous options for working from home, hobbies and/or storage. Planted beds are filled with mature shrubs and perennial plants creating a delightful, secluded outdoor haven.
