A rare, character-rich period house in the centre of Brooke, The Old Post Office dates to around 400 years and offers expansive, flexible accommodation across three storeys plus an attic. The property retains many original features — exposed beams, cast-iron fireplaces and leaded/stained glass — creating an immediately charming, historic atmosphere. Three reception rooms on the ground floor and a large attic room with village views give plenty of living and sleeping options for family life or multi-generational use.
Outside, a secluded courtyard garden is flanked by two brick outbuildings that could be converted to a studio, office or guest space (subject to consents). The former post office room presents an opportunity to reinstate a small shop or business (STP). Parking is available adjacent to the house with a detached garage and a double-length driveway opposite the property, providing space for two vehicles.
Buyers should note this is a very old building and will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrading in places; services and systems have not been tested and the property is served by oil-fired central heating. There is a single family bathroom for three bedrooms and conversion or business use would need planning consent. Council Tax Band E reflects above-average local charges. Overall, this is a high-potential, highly individual home for those who value period character, central village life and scope to personalise.
