Set in the heart of a conserved Surrey Hills village, The Old Post Office combines period charm with recent refurbishment. The house offers spacious, versatile accommodation over four floors, including a generous sitting room with open fire, a modern kitchen/dining area and five bedrooms suited to family life or flexible home working.
Renovated throughout and presented in very good decorative order, the property retains original features such as sash windows, fireplaces and decorative detailing. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and families alike. The enclosed walled courtyard provides a private outdoor space that is easy to maintain.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building: any alterations will be subject to listed‑building constraints and may complicate extensions or significant internal changes. The solid brick construction (typical of the period) likely lacks cavity insulation, so consider potential thermal upgrade costs despite the recent refurbishment. The plot is modest with a small courtyard garden and limited off‑street landscaping, though private parking/garage and a gravel drive are indicated.
Overall this is a characterful family home in an affluent, well‑connected village, close to highly rated schools and local amenities. It will particularly suit buyers who value historic character, convenient modern comforts and a low‑maintenance garden, while accepting listed‑status obligations and modest plot size.
