Summary - THE OLD POST OFICE, 24 THE VILLAGE EGLINGHAM ALNWICK NE66 2TX
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious Grade II listed village home with large gardens and flexible family living.
Grade II listed stone house with notable period features
Set in the picturesque village of Eglingham, The Old Post Office is a generously proportioned Grade II listed stone home with characterful period features and very large private gardens. Ground-floor reception rooms include a living room with open coal fireplace, a spacious lounge with inglenook and multi-fuel stove (the former post office), a dining room, kitchen with Aga, utility and an office — all arranged for comfortable family living and entertaining.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, a large bathroom and excellent built-in storage including a walk-in wardrobe. The layout is traditional and spacious throughout, with high-quality fittings such as bespoke oak kitchen units, secondary glazing and useful outbuildings: a single garage and carport. The gardens are a standout asset — orchard, lawns, raised beds, greenhouse, private sitting areas and views over woodland and the burn.
Buyers should note this property’s Grade II listed status: alterations and some modernisation will be restricted and will likely require permissions. Heating is by oil boiler and the house carries a medium flood risk; mains gas is not connected. Council tax is above average for the area. These are practical considerations for running costs and any future works.
This house suits a family or buyers seeking a rural retreat with period charm who are comfortable managing listed-building constraints and countryside maintenance. For those who value space, history and privacy, the Old Post Office offers a rare combination of setting, gardens and a flexible internal plan.
