The Old Post Office is an attractive Grade II listed semi-detached family home with period character and modernised interiors. Arranged over three floors, the house offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a skilfully converted loft, combining exposed timbers and high ceilings with contemporary fittings. The spacious sitting room features a dramatic inglenook fireplace and the dining room and kitchen flow well for family life.
Set in a large cottage-style garden with driveway parking and a detached brick garage, the property sits in a peaceful hamlet between Wetherby and York, with good local primary schools and countryside views. The oil-fired boiler and double glazing provide comfort, while the plot and layout offer scope for further sympathetic improvements.
Buyers should note its Grade II listed status, which protects historic features but can restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or extensions. The house’s solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and heating is oil-fuelled — factors to consider for ongoing running costs. Council tax is described as expensive and broadband/mobile signals are average for the area.
This home will suit a family or purchaser who values character, rural tranquillity and period detail, and who is comfortable managing listed-property responsibilities. For those seeking a well-located, characterful house with a large garden and garage, this offers genuine charm and long-term potential.
