The Property

Old Post Cottage is a notable Edwardian detached house sitting within a Conservation Area on top of the North Hampshire Downs and within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with fine open views to the front and rear. The house offers flexible accommodation of about 1560 sq. ft. with a particularly spacious ground floor and is in excellent order throughout.

The front door opens to the reception hall from which the staircase rises to the first floor. The sitting room has a large bay window overlooking the front. It has parquet flooring and a log-burning stove which also serves the adjoining dining room. The refitted triple aspect kitchen/dining room has freestanding shaker style units with solid oak worktops, belfast sink, larder cupboard, Rayburn, a range cooker, washing machine, space and plumbing for dishwasher and slate flooring with French doors opening to the sheltered courtyard garden. The extended accommodation offers an excellent master bedroom with ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobe. It is dual aspect with French doors opening to the rear terrace and with the adjoining study offers the potential of a self-contained annexe. There is also a further shower room.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both enjoying lovely views, and a bathroom.
