Charming 18th century home with modern addition.
Description
The Old Post Office is a charming detached home which originally dates back to the c.mid 18th century. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years and now boasts an abundance of original period features and an extension to cater for modern day living.
Upon entering you are greeted by an impressive vaulted reception room which is ideal for entertaining and arguably where you will spend the majority of your time. The central island is complimented with granite worktops and surrounded by bespoke cabinetry with a farrow and ball finish. The back of the reception room has been raised to create the perfect blend of indoor/outdoor living and has an abundance of natural light with glazed roofing and bi-folding doors.
The kitchen is finished with a similar theme and offers plenty of work surfaces for cooking with a gas hob, two electric ovens and a view of the rear garden. Off the kitchen is a cloakroom and a cellar which is ideal for wine or as a pantry. The ground floor is finished with a further three reception rooms, including a dual aspect sitting room with working fireplace and a office. On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom with herringbone tiles and roll top bath. The principal bedroom has integral wardrobes and a large en-suite with neutral finish.
Outside
The mature rear garden is enclosed and offers a high degree of privacy. Leading from the back of the kitchen is a patio which would be ideal for al-fresco dining in the summer months. Approaching up the steps of the patio, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by trees, hedgerows and shrubbery. At the back of the garden is a summerhouse which is currently an entertaining area for children with a hard standing surface, however could be a versatile space. To the front of the house is a driveway with ample off-street parking and an integral garage for storage and separate utility behind.
