Description
The Old Post Office is an attractive period Cotswold stone cottage dating back to 1871 occupying a prime position overlooking the quaint village duck pond in the peaceful village of Alderton. Once serving as the village post office, this charming property has been extended and updated, now offering a comfortable family home with around 1705 sq.ft of well-presented accommodation over two floors.
The interior seamlessly blends original character with modern comforts. Features include a cosy sitting room with a wood burner, lead glass windows, exposed wooden lintels, flagstone flooring, and stripped pine doors. The ground floor boasts a superb configuration, entered via a spacious entrance hall. A versatile study connects to the open-plan kitchen/family room, forming the heart of the home. This excellent space, with double doors leading to the garden, provides ample room for dining and living alongside a kitchen equipped with a social breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room with internal access to the garage. A convenient shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property offers scope for further enlargement, with planning permission currently being sought.
Outside, the property benefits from an excellent-sized rear garden, extending to about 100ft in length, perfect for family outdoor enjoyment. A useful home office within the garden is complete with power and Wi-Fi. Private off-street parking is available on the driveway leading to a generously sized garage.
