As you approach the property you are immediately struck with a sense of privacy and space thanks to the very generous blockpaved driveway which offers parking for up to 6 vehicles. The driveway is enclosed by a brick wall with a wall top railing to the front and decorative wooden fencing on each side. The front entrance leads directly into the integral garage which truly is truly a unique feature for those of you who are car enthusiasts, looking to create a home gym or perhaps even to add an annex to your home for elderly relatives.
If we proceed down to the large South-facing rear garden you’ll instantly be struck by the wealth of space offered! The rear garden is fully fenced and is then further shielded by coniferous hedgerows on all sides which really gives it a feeling of privacy. The rear garden has been wonderfully landscaped and benefits from a large Indian stone patio, perfect for barbeques! An automated watering system to the potted plants and a very generous solid wood gazebo with wooden side panel screens and connections in place for a generous hot tub. Can you imagine relaxing out in the hot tub with a glass of champagne on a warm summer evening? The rear garden also offers a greenhouse which is connected to the automated watering system, a spacious lawn and a large wooden deck which benefits from multiple LED lights making it a real attraction at dusk and a wonderful space to sit back and relax and take in the summer sun with family and friends. To the rear of the garden is the workshop. The workshop offers a large decked area to the front and is fully connected to the electrics with electrical lights and plug sockets. The workshop has a security alarm, a large window as well as a glazed door and is well lit by natural light on the inside, internally the workshop offers many workbenches, bench vices and a wealth of tool storage more than enough to meet all of your DIY needs.
“For me there are few properties that come to the market that compare to The Old Post Office, it's rare to find a property with this much space that is as well presented as The Old Post Office ”
The integral garage offers space for up to 3 cars to be parked inside, skylight windows which keep the space well lit with natural light, two remote operated electric shutter doors, tool storage on the wall mounted tool racks, heavy duty circular stud interlocking rubber tile flooring and of course, a wall mounted television and dart board!

The reception room offers ample space for a large corner sofa and is home to the original 1898 post office safe. The spacious living room is beautifully presented and offers ample space for multiple sofas and a television on the opposite side of the room. The coal-effect gas stove is an attractive centrepiece to the room and offers a warm and cosy atmosphere. The living room is always bright and airy thanks to the double glazed French doors that lead onto the South facing rear garden. The sleek kitchen-dining room is very stylish and comfortably accommodates a large dining table beneath the two skylight windows which fill the space with natural light. The kitchen features granite work surfaces, a range of cream fronted eye-level units with over cabinet lighting as well as matching base units, space for a large American-style fridge freezer and of course a wide range of built-in appliances including an inset 1.5 bowl sink unit, a builtin 4 burner gas hob, an integrated cooker hood extractor fan, a built-in double oven, an integrated microwave oven as well as a built in dishwasher.
The spacious master suite is a fabulous size, comfortably accommodating a large double bed as well as a range of substantial built-in wardrobes which provide a wealth of storage space and the suite benefits from attractive views of the generous rear garden.

The second offers a large integrated bath with electric shower and screen, WC, a wash basin with vanity cabinet, frosted glass windows and an extractor fan. There are four additional bedrooms, each of which are large enough to comfortably accommodate a double bed.
“The house has history, character and great space. The rooms are of generous proportions, the south facing garden in its generous plot, great location and potential for further development, made this house a perfect home for over 20 years. It will be missed.”
“I loved seeing my children off to school each day, with their rucksacks packed on their backs, off they went to the village school. Later in the day they enjoyed playing in the park and telling me all about it when they arrived home.”
“I love the summer months, the south facing garden and sun deck provides a wonderful setting to enjoy the sunshine whilst relaxing, often with a cold drink. But this is closely followed by the Autumn, as the hot tub also provides a wonderful chill out place too in these cooler months.”
