Offered with no chain.

Set in the heart of this highly sought-after village, The Old Post Office is an exceptional Grade II Listed 18th-century home, constructed of squared coursed limestone beneath a traditional Collyweston and slate roof. Beautifully refurbished to an exacting standard, the property seamlessly combines period character with contemporary living, retaining a wealth of original features including an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and offers a superb sense of balance and flow. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal suite enjoying far-reaching views over the garden and countryside beyond, together with the benefit of an en-suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The ground floor is designed with both family living and entertaining in mind. The elegant sitting room, formerly the village post office, retains a strong sense of heritage and opens onto a small courtyard. A characterful dining room, again with an inglenook fireplace, provides a warm and inviting setting for formal dining. Further accommodation includes a study, utility room and cloakroom.

At the heart of the home lies the outstanding hand-built kitchen/dining space, designed as a true live-in environment. This beautifully considered room features eye-level ovens, an induction hob set within a central island, and bespoke cabinetry including a dresser. Generous proportions allow for a dining table and relaxed seating, while bi-fold doors extend the space effortlessly onto a spacious terrace perfect for al fresco entertaining and enjoying the outlook over the garden.
Outside

The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property, offering both scale and versatility. Predominantly laid to lawn, they provide an ideal setting for family life, with ample space for recreation, kitchen gardening or smallholding pursuits such as keeping chickens. The expansive patio with pergola creates a natural extension of the living space, ideal for summer entertaining, while a further courtyard adds charm and privacy.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway with wooden gates leading to off-street parking and a garage, enhancing both convenience and security.
