About
SUMMARY: A charming cottage, packed with character, is now available and ready for someone new to move straight into.
The property has three reception rooms, three bedrooms, a study/4th bedroom, two bathrooms, a double garage, ample off-road parking and a fully enclosed garden, plus a greenhouse - The Old Post Cottage has lots to offer.
For many years the property served as the Village Post Office before being converted into solely a house. For the past 21 years it has been a much loved family home for the current owners.
During this time, several updates have been made including reroofing, having replacement windows fitted and a garage constructed.
GROUND FLOOR: An enclosed entrance porch leads to the welcoming reception hall, which provides access to all of the reception rooms, as well as the stairs to the first floor.
On one side of the property is the cosy snug - a space the current owners gravitate to, with an inglenook fireplace creating a sense of comfort, whilst the exposed beams add a character feel.
The 22ft wide sitting room has been great for family gatherings due to its easy access to the dining room and also the kitchen.
The kitchen is well appointed and has been ideal for the current owners, as cooking is something they truly enjoy.
Completing the ground floor space is a study/fourth bedroom and the elegant family bathroom, with vaulted ceiling and equipped with a roll top bath as well as a separate shower.
FIRST FLOOR: A bright landing with window overlooking the rear garden and fields beyond gives access to the three bedrooms, two of which are double in size and benefit from built in wardrobes, whilst the principal bedroom also has its own en-suite.
OUTSIDE: The outside space, totalling approximately 0.25 of an acre (STMS) has been well-maintained - to the front a gravel drive leading to the double garage provides ample off road parking and to the rear of the cottage is a private garden - full of colour with a variety of shrubs, trees, hedges and flower beds.
There is a mature lawn providing a safe space for young and old to have fun, a green house for those who love to grow their own vegetables and a desirable patio area for those cherished summer bbq's.
