* OFFERS INVITED * A rare opportunity to acquire this beautifully renovated and restored detached family home with five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large walled rear garden in the centre of Whitwell.
The Old Post Office comprises a unique five bedroom detached character house with immense history in the centre of this attractive village setting within walking distance to local shops and amenities.
Our clients have the potential to offer the sale with no upward chain subject to terms and conditions.
The property dates back to the late 17th Century and was once a carpet factory before the village Post Office from 1869 to 2013 when the property was converted to a residential dwelling by the previous owners. Our clients have carried out a substantial amount of comprehensive renovation and restoration of the building to an exceptional high standard throughout creating a truly wonderful contemporary home of high calibre whilst retaining the original character and charm of a building of its age.
The property is constructed mostly from coursed stone elevations beneath a pantile roof which has been replaced in the past and with a part brick extension to the rear. Our clients replaced the kitchen flat roof to a new fibre glass roof complete with a 25 year guarantee. The original Victorian doors and staircase handrail have been retained and restored complemented by beautifully appointed wood panelling painted in satin grey to the hallway and galleried landing.
The accommodation spans over two floors providing a spacious family orientated home. On the ground floor a side entrance door opens to an initial hallway leading to the main hallway rising up to the first floor galleried landing. There are three reception rooms; snug/office, dining room and large lounge both with log burners. Completing the ground floor is the kitchen in two parts with extensive shaker cabinets, an island, original fireplace and original built-in storage cupboards which have been restored. The first floor galleried landing leads to a beautifully appointed master bedroom with panelled walls painted Lichen by Farrow & Ball. There are four further bedrooms, a shower room and an additional separate WC. The property has gas central heating, timber double glazed windows to the front of the front elevation and UPVC double glazed windows to the rear.
The Old Post Office stands in a lovely position on the village High Street. There is a gated driveway providing off road parking leading to a large garage with remote controlled roller door. At the end of the garage, an original Victorian archway leads to additional storage space, a natural spring water tap and to a connecting door leading out to the lower level rear garden. The rear garden starts with a private sandstone patio surrounded by original stone walls and steps rising up to the main large garden. The main garden is a lovely place to be with lots of character, enclosed on all sides by original stone walls. There is a sandstone patio, decked area, flowerbeds, central lawn and a pathway leading to an extensive decked patio at the end of the plot. There are well stocked borders on each side featuring a variety of mature plants and shrubs, raised beds with slate and bark chippings, Wisteria and Magnolia trees and a brick pathway leads to a detached brick built outbuilding equipped with power and light.
