5 Bedrooms | End Of Terrace House

Teeming with historical intrigue and with an abundance of period features throughout, The Old Post Office ticks all the boxes of a practical yet charismatic home with its generous room sizes, enclosed southerly facing garden and driveway parking – and all right in the heart of the highly desirable Minchinhampton village and surrounded by some of the county's prettiest common land!



Built circa 1720-40, with a Victorian extension and Grade II Listed, all the desired period features are present in this handsome house: high ceilings; Cotswold stone walls; original sash windows; feature fireplaces; spacious rooms – not to mention easy access to the ever sought-after corner shop and great village pub. Even the Vaulted cellar is calling out to be transformed into your own personal wine store!



Stepping inside, the versatile layout with three generous reception spaces makes for an impressive ground floor, with a well preserved exposed flagstone floor throughout the hall and drawing room. The snug or breakfast room is home to a lovely log burning stove and opens onto a charming country style kitchen that boasts its own well beneath a glass viewing panel within the floor. The kitchen, already a good size, comes with full planning permission to be extended and also the addition of a glass sky lantern. The family room to the front is home to the original Post Office safe and ideal as a formal dining room, home office or playroom, whilst the drawing room enjoys peaceful outlooks to the garden through the delightful stone mullion windows, complete with window seat below.



Heading on up, the bedroom spaces will not disappoint: the first floor is home to the family bathroom and the first three bedrooms, all doubles with high ceilings and adorned with an array of pretty window seats, exposed beams and original mouldings. The master bedroom is also served by its own en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. Up to the second floor there are a further two bedrooms, one with its own bathroom and both with attractive exposed beams. There is plenty of scope for one or more of these rooms to be used as a study, library or music room.



That’s not to forget the added practicalities of the separate downstairs utility and w.c, a large attic store accessed via one of the second floor bedrooms, always handy in any home.



Outside there is an attractive and peaceful south facing, small walled garden, complete with a generous patio area by the kitchen leading on to the lawned garden with pretty established flower borders and exposed red bricks walls. To the back of the garden is gravelled off street parking for one car, accessed via a driveway belonging to a neighbouring property.



Planning permission and Listed Building consent has also be granted for a number of well-thought through, sensitive changes and additions, designed to enhance the period features of the property, while modernising and extending both the kitchen and bathrooms. There is also a detailed house history report available.
