Set in the pretty village of Leigh on Mendip, Post House is a spacious five-double-bedroom semi-detached cottage with more than 2,600 sq ft of flexible living space. Originally two cottages with parts dating to the 15th century, the house blends period character—stone facades, inglenook and slate roof—with practical modern comforts such as double glazing, gas central heating and underfloor heating in the kitchen. The large kitchen/diner, pantry, utility and boot room give genuine family practicality and scope for entertaining.
The ground floor offers multiple reception rooms: a formal lounge, snug and family room each with fireplaces, plus a home office and a contemporary wetroom. There is clear potential to create a ground-floor annexe with its own entrance, using the lounge and wetroom, which may appeal to multi-generational households or buyers seeking rental income. The gardens are a standout: a gravelled courtyard, secret walled garden, large lawn, raised beds, summerhouse, greenhouse and shed provide privacy and extensive outdoor space along open fields.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold, in a very low-crime village, with fast broadband and average mobile signal. The nearest stations are Frome (7 miles) and Castle Cary (13 miles); local schools include a Good-rated primary and several independent options. Guide price is £925,000–£950,000. Buyers should review the Key Facts for Buyers report for required material information.
Important considerations: the house is historic and has a complex build history with multiple additions; some rooms are characterfully small and layout changes would require careful planning. Prospective purchasers should expect typical maintenance associated with an older stone property and review services and any conversion work for annexe creation.
