Set on an exceptional 8.823‑acre plot, Old Post Office Cottage offers a rare chance to combine two period cottages into one substantial family home with open countryside views. The site sits in a desirable village/hamlet setting with easy access to local amenities and several well‑rated secondary schools nearby — an appealing rural base for families wanting space and privacy.
The properties retain character features and benefitted from mains gas heating and double glazing, but they require modernisation throughout. The layout lends itself to conversion into a generous detached house; sizes and room positions are already in place to create a comfortable, light family living arrangement with direct access onto paddock grazing land.
Buyers should note material constraints: the buildings need renovation, assumed solid brick walls with no insulation, and an EPC is not available. There is also a restrictive covenant preventing subdivision into more than two properties and barring further residential or commercial development across the house, garden and paddocks — important for future planning and investment intentions.
Practical positives include off‑street parking and a large garden with patio and mature planting. Broadband is average while mobile signal is excellent. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, outlook and conversion potential in person.
