Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Butcombe, The Old Post Office is a wisteria draped, three bedroom detached cottage that balances rural tranquillity with the convenience of Bristol little more than a dozen miles away. Its handsome stone façade hints at the character within, while mature gardens, a garage and a useful stone outbuilding complete the picture. No onward chain.
About the Inside.
Step through the front door and you are greeted by a generous living and dining room where an open fireplace forms an inviting focal point. Cottage pane windows frame the front garden, and a glazed door opens onto a sheltered patio—perfect for quiet morning coffee or an evening apéritif. Beyond, the dual aspect kitchen offers ample space for cooks and convivial conversation alike, flowing into a practical utility lobby with its own shower room and rear porch ideal for muddy boots after countryside walks.
A winding staircase rises from the reception room to three double bedrooms, each with built in wardrobes and soothing views across the garden. The family bathroom, brightened by a skylight, completes the first floor.
About the Outside.
Outside, a low stone wall encloses the prettily planted front garden, while a sweeping lawn wraps around the side of the house and meanders toward a gentle stream at the boundary—a natural soundtrack in summer months. Tucked away is a secluded patio, the perfect sun trap, and a stone outbuilding ready for bikes, tools or perhaps a small studio. To the rear, a single garage with an allocated parking space ensures everyday practicality.
With its generous proportions, timeless features and idyllic setting, The Old Post Office offers a rare opportunity to create a refined country retreat within effortless reach of the city.
About the Area.
Butcombe is situated within the Chew Valley. This picturesque hamlet enjoys a friendly strong community with views towards the Mendip Hills, north of Blagdon Lake. Local amenities can be found in nearby Blagdon and Chew Stoke, and the cities of Bristol and Bath are both within easy reach. Bristol airport is less than 15 minutes away.
