An interesting opportunity to purchase a truly individual, fascinating period cottage which was formerly the village post office but now is a unique character home offering a wealth of features and occupies a deceptive, established, generous plot which approaches 0.7 of an acre.
This fascinating home offers around 1,700 sq.ft. of internal accommodation plus a run of additional outbuildings which currently provide workshop and garage space but potentially, subject to consent, could offer further scope for conversion to expand the accommodation further. The property offers many interesting features with beamed ceilings, exposed internal brick work and attractive fireplaces as well as the unusual feature of a well beneath the kitchen.
The property offers three main reception areas as well as four bedrooms with each room offering its own individuality. The property is likely to require a certain program of cosmetic updating based on today's requirements but has the basis of a stunning home on what is a truly amazing plot with the majority of the gardens lie to the westerly side and out onto fields at the rear. The gardens have been lovingly established over the years and are well stocked with an abundance of mature trees and shrubs creating a private outdoor space perfect for families but also ideal for those looking for a more self sufficient lifestyle, with ample room for an allotment/vegetable garden.
The property occupies a central village location with ample off road parking to the front with brick built workshops and two garages creating a useful outdoor spaces and secure parking.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the accommodation, location and potential on offer.
