A delightful period cottage in the heart of this highly sought after village close to Woodbridge.

The Old Post Office is a deceptively spacious link detached cottage, which was formerly the village post office/store. It is situated in the heart of the village with views across the surrounding farmland from upstairs with a small outbuilding attached, belonging to the neighbouring house. Thought to date from the mid-19th Century, the property is built of brick elevations, clad with modern insulation under a silicone render, under a tiled roof. It also benefits from having uPVC double glazing throughout. The interior retains plenty of period character including panelled pine doors, exposed floorboards and ceiling timbers.

The front door opens to an entrance lobby with an under stairs storage cupboard. This leads to the sitting room which has a fireplace housing a wood burner. The kitchen leads through to the dining area and is fitted with a range of units with wooden worktops with an integrated Belfast sink and four ring ceramic hob. A full height unit houses a Bosch double oven with further space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. The dining area has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and a further wood burner. Double doors open to the rear garden. Accessed off the sitting room is a further well-proportioned living room/office, ideal for home working, which has exposed timber floorboards and leads through to the conservatory which in turn opens to the garden.

There is a downstairs bathroom with bath, WC and handbasin and separate shower cubicle as well as a further cloakroom with WC and handbasin. On the first floor are two double bedrooms with exposed floorboards and a further bedroom/dressing room accessed through the main bedroom. There are lovely views across farmland.
