Believed to date back several centuries and occupying a prominent position within the heart of one of Somerset's most desirable villages, The Old Post Office is a Grade II listed detached home of immense character and charm. Rich in period features and extending to over 3,300 square feet including outbuildings, the property offers flexible family accommodation, mature gardens approaching half an acre and a wealth of original detail throughout. Available with no onward chain, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark village home in the sought after community of Butleigh.

Accommodation
A wide entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation, revealing a home rich in character with bespoke joinery, exposed timbers and original features throughout. The drawing room centres around an impressive inglenook fireplace and provides a wonderfully comfortable reception space, whilst the dining room enjoys its own fireplace with wood burning stove and connects to the bespoke kitchen breakfast room. Fitted with handmade cabinetry, timber work surfaces and an Aga, the kitchen is complemented by a separate study with vaulted ceiling. Beyond the drawing room, a light filled garden room enjoys views over the grounds and benefits from a further wood burning stove and doors opening directly onto the gardens. A large utility room, cloakroom and ground floor shower room complete the accommodation.

The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, adding to the property's individual character and flexibility. Four generous bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, several enjoying attractive views over the gardens and village surroundings. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in scale, whilst the remaining bedrooms offer versatile accommodation for family, guests or home working. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the bedrooms, providing practical facilities for modern living whilst retaining the charm expected of a period village home. The extensive use of bespoke carpentry and character features continues throughout the upper floor.

Outside
Outside, the mature gardens are a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately half an acre and offering a high degree of privacy. Lawned areas are interspersed with established shrubs, trees and colourful planting, creating an attractive setting throughout the seasons. A lean to greenhouse and additional walk in greenhouse provide excellent opportunities for keen gardeners, whilst a substantial workshop offers valuable storage, hobby space or potential for alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents. The property is approached through wooden gates leading to a generous driveway and double open fronted carport, with a wisteria covered pergola creating an attractive arrival. The gardens provide ample space for relaxation, entertaining and family enjoyment within this highly regarded village setting.

Location
The property is situated in the sought after village of Butleigh which has local amenities including Sourdown Farm, with its farmshop and cafe, excellent village school and community. The historic town of Glastonbury and the thriving centre of Street are both approximately 3.5 miles and offer a further range of facilities.
