The Old Post Office is an exceptional Grade II listed property, rich in history and character in excess of 4,000 sq ft. Originally a medieval open hall house, it became the Manor House in around 1743–1748. Between 1845 and 1966, it was reputedly the oldest post office in the county, and its kitchen is believed to have served as a bakery until 1929.

The property offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, blending historical features such as a dormered roof and exposed wooden beams with modern fittings throughout. Recently restored to a high standard, the interior boasts meticulous attention to detail.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance/dining hall that leads to a rear lobby and all main areas. The ground floor features a spacious drawing room with a log burner, a dining hall, a luxurious bathroom with exposed beams and a freestanding bathtub, a separate shower room, and cloakroom. There is a separate study and a further family room. The well-equipped Woodstock bespoke kitchen is a highlight, complete with a gas-fired Aga, French limestone flooring, an island, and a breakfast area. Off the kitchen, you’ll find a pantry, utility room, and boot room leading to the garden.

The first floor is accessible from three different parts of the house and includes six generously sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a dressing room attached to bedroom three. Above the kitchen, the converted principal bedroom enjoys a well-appointed en-suite bathroom.

The property is accessed via a picket fence and gate, opening to a neatly maintained lawned garden with lovely views of St Mary's Church. A gravel driveway leads to a weather-boarded barn with an open-fronted garage and a home office/studio with a power supply. The expansive rear garden is enclosed and well-maintained, featuring mature trees, seating areas, and a variety of plants. There is also a convenient off-road parking area with a garden shed and carport.
