The Old Post Office is an attractive six bedroom village house with generous accommodation arranged over three floors, built by the previous owner in the early 2000's.
There are two primary entrances to the property, the first opening into a welcoming entrance hall, and the second into a well-appointed utility/boot room. The 21ft dual aspect sitting room receives an abundance of natural light from both south and north facing windows, with French doors opening out onto the rear terrace. There is a second reception room, which is ideal for use as a formal dining room. The L-shaped kitchen is well-equipped, including an undercounter refrigerator, gas hob, built in oven and microwave, with plenty of room for a freestanding fridge/freezer and breakfast table and chairs. French Windows open onto the rear terrace.
The first floor has four bedrooms, three of which are doubles and with fitted storage, and the family bathroom. The principle suite features a fantastic bay window with countryside views, a dressing area and en-suite bathroom. The modern en-suite is well-equipped with a lovely freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower.
On the top floor of the property are two further double bedrooms with eves storage, the larger of the two has historically been used as a guest suite and television room. Both of these rooms benefit from having the best view from the property, of the open countryside to the south of the home.
It is thought that two of the bedrooms and the external store (subject to the usual consents) have excellent potential for use as a home office.
The property benefits from a generous gravel driveway with off road parking for multiple vehicles, plus a triple open bay garage. Off the garage is a substantial store, with electrics and floor to ceiling racking.
At the rear is a south-east facing low maintenance garden, with a good sized terrace and ample room for outdoor furnishings. Behind the terrace is a spacious gravelled area with a number of low-lying hedges and well-manicured shrubs, providing a fantastic view of the open countryside, the River Bourne, and beyond.
The Old Post Office is located between Boscombe and Allington, both of which are pretty villages situated within the civil parish of Allington, running adjacent to the River Bourne. Within the local area are two public houses and two churches. Nearby Porton is home to a well-regarded primary school, post office/shop, village hall, doctor's surgery, garage and both Baptist and Anglican churches. There's plenty of recreational activities within the area also, from Porton Outdoor Activity Centre to an afternoon at Porton Garden, Aquatics & Pets Centre, and the popular 'Old Railway Hotel'.
Salisbury has a more comprehensive range of facilities including a well-thought of Playhouse and twice-weekly charter market, with a plethora of further restaurants, shopping, and leisure facilities. There is a number of primary and secondary schools, both private and state, including boys and girls grammar schools. Salisbury has excellent road links to London (A303), Southampton (A36) and Bournemouth (A338) and provides direct trains to London Waterloo from Grateley Station (10mins) or Salisbury mainline railway station (20 mins) (journey time approximately 90 minutes).
