A beautifully presented character property enjoying a private setting in the heart of the village with stunning gardens, garage, studio and gym.

Situation - The Old Post House is set in stunning gardens in the heart of the village next to the church. Skilgate has a Parish Church and village hall and lies one mile from the Exmoor National Park, known for its extensive walking and riding country and many other outdoor pursuits including Wimbleball Reservoir which is within easy reach of the property.

The popular town of Bampton has an interesting range of shops together with a doctors surgery, a church and some good pubs whilst Dulverton, five miles away, is a delightful little town nestling in the Barle Valley within the National Park. It offers a number of individual shops together with a post office, chemist, doctors, dental and veterinary surgeries, library, primary and middle school. There are also squash courts, all weather tennis courts, football and cricket pitches.

The mid Devon market town of Tiverton lies 12 miles south of The Old Post House providing an extensive range of facilities and the county town of Taunton is approximately 19 miles to the east.

Mainline rail services are found at Tiverton Parkway, located adjacent to J27 of the M5 motorway and also at Taunton.

Description - The Old Post House is a very appealing period house, which dates back several hundred years and has an interesting history. It was once the village post office, but also the village bakery and at one point the local tailor. Over the years it has been extended and now provides a spacious comfortable home which has been beautifully refurbished, but retains many of its original features such as the original bread ovens, beams and inglenook fireplaces. It is complemented by its stunning gardens, summerhouses, garage, parking and an outbuilding housing a gym and a studio. Whilst enjoying all the benefits of the countryside, the property is within close proximity of Tiverton and the M5 motorway junction 27.

Accommodation - The property offers good reception space. At the heart of the house is a generous sized drawing room with a large inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and glazed doors to the garden. The dining room is double aspect with doors to the garden room and again a large inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner. The garden room is a delightful room from which to sit and enjoy the views over the garden and a door leads to the ornate wrought iron veranda. Off the drawing room is a study with fitted bookcases, which could be used as a sitting room/snug. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of wall and base units, a breakfast bar and space for a table. The utility/boot room has fitted cupboards, a sink and space for white goods. The original bread ovens are still in place in this room. Off the utility room is a cloakroom.
